Winning fatigue is a real thing in Fargo.

Wow, capacity says 18,700 yet ~4000 less was their average. That’s surprising to me.

Looks about as expected. The top 4 programs plus the HBCUs and a Texas school.

Cue the “expand the stadium” crowd.

We need to expand the stadium.

I'm all for expanding and think if money wasn't an option, it should be done. But I'm not big on adding 5,000 seats or something right now. I think scarcity is a good thing. Sure, MSU added a ton of seats with the EZ expansion, and sure, attendance grew to oversell the seats available, but at what point do we hit our ceiling? Is NDSU a cautionary tale? Yeah I think you could get 30k for Cat-gris but I like the idea of people having to scramble for tickets a little bit. I wish there was a cheap way to add 2,000 bleacher seats somewhere just to see what interest would be. Not arguing with you AFCAT, just thinking it over.

Just waiting on that big bankroll to arrive. Same guy keeps holding up the move up to FBS progress, the stadium expansion progress, and players staying here through NIL progress. He/she did come through on the BAC and indoor though.Re: 2023 attendance leaders.

Agreed. Other than Cat/Griz which would sell out at double or triple the current stadium capacity, I've never had any trouble at all buying extra tickets to MSU games through single-game ticket sales or the secondary market when I've needed them. Adding capacity would make the paid attendance numbers look better but I'm not sure if it's really needed in terms of people who want to come to games being able to buy tickets to do so.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 1:50 pmI'm all for expanding and think if money wasn't an option, it should be done.

Tarleton is poised to become a top 10 team sooner than later. They are putting the money into their program and want to be FBS soon too.

What is the capacity of the west side and the suites? Replicate that on the east side and wings on the north should get us into the low 20s I’d think?
