Buy out the FargoDome!!!

Post by Danster21 » Sun Dec 15, 2019 3:42 pm

The MSU allotment (2500 of 19000 seats) of tickets has been purchased up but many tickets remain through the Bison's website.



Plenty of tickets remain, they had about 5000 empty seats at their last game so there should be plenty of opportunities to buy up a ticket. Our tickets went super quick so I suspect there is a contingent of Cat fans that would gladly purchase a ticket! I wish we could do the same program as our last game, such a bummer. And I'll use this time to thank Bethany for her fantastic work in helping fill out Bobcat Stadium on Friday and every game day! Couldn't be prouder of the whole team building up such a wonderful program, I can't wait to get back to the stadium someday.

Some motel rooms are opening up as well. We booked ours at the Radisson this year

Looks like section 24 is now sold out! Great job Cat fans, I would guess section 29 is the next best now!

This game will be a full house, all that is up for grabs is upper corners and whatever student section or season ticket holders don't renew.

500 montana state fans in section 23 just like every other team gets. sure you can sprinkle a few hundred other around and snap up some extras, go for it. won't bother us!

I think this is spot on. A great semifinal match up with two premier programs in the FCS. Their fans will be there in a sellout. I talked with some NDSU fans last weekend while hunting in Aberdeen SD and I asked why they werent selling out their playoff games. They all said they think the fans just think NDSU will win every week and the excitement is starting to diminish. They are just used to winning. I still think a big time semifinal will sell out.

Thoughts on that @lakesbison. I found those comments very interesting.

there is a 200 page thread on Bisonville about that very subject titles "Bison Fatigue"
It isn't something you don't normally think about but their unprecedented success has a downside.
"The Streak"
The story of Florida's Brandon High School's wrestling program, which holds the longest winning streak in American sports history with a perfect record of 451-0 record spanning 34 years.

This HS started a tournament to invite top teams with a side goal of breaking the streak, It was putting so much pressure on the kids and community and had become an almost destructive thing

It may not bother you, but it will help the Cats the more fans we get in there!

The more energy the Cats can get in there the better because they are very NDSU like as they now dictate their way to the other team on both sides of the ball and not vice versa. Couple that with the team being relatively healthy and not banged up like last year and I think this is going to be a very hard fought game and fun to watch. The more energy the better! I can't wait.

Heard that NDSU season ticket holders who don't purchase their tickets for this weeks game, will be released Wednesday morning to be purchase at Bison ticket office. Same thing happened here for the last two playoff games games.

All the MSU fans way out in eastern Montana should DEFINITELY plan to go support the Cats. Ain't that far!

Fargodome only had 14k in it last game. That’s pretty crazy for what they are used to.

Excellent! Considering the distance over there, it would be nice if they could get another one too.

Combination of Bison Fatigue and Fans wanting to go FBS and get bigger and Admin not doing a thing about that.
