[QUOTE="sl1000794, post: 322318, member: 6974"] OK. The Fargo Dome seats 18,700 for NDSU football and the REA seats 11,640 for UND hockey. In the 2019/2020 season NDSU played 9 home games including 3 post season games and UND played 20 regular season home games and got shorted 2 post season conference tournament games when the post season was stopped. Let's do the numbers: NDSU 18,700x09=168,300 tickets UND 11,640x22=256,080 tickets assuming all games are sold out. UND is selling 50% more tickets to hockey games than NDSU is selling to football games. The Ralph has a waiting list for season tickets and every time I have been there in the last 10+ years attendance has been nearly/if not 100%. I believe ALL games are sold out. If attendence is not 100% it is because people could not make the game. These next numbers are guesstimates by me but I would guess that NDSU has at least 100 athletes in their football program and UND has maybe 40 hockey players that they list as on their team. They carry 26 or 27 on their active roster. I would guess that the staff to support twice (4x) the athletes would be twice (4x) the number to support half (1/4) the athletes. So you are telling me that NDSU is in the black with their football program fielding a team with twice (4x) the athletes and employing twice (4x) the staff on 2/3rds ticket sales than UND's hockey program, and UND is in the red. Don't believe it. ps: Neither NDSU nor UND sell tickets to their games - the tickets are sold and the revenue is collected by the Fargo Dome and the Ralph Engelstad Arena. They then share the revenue with the schools. pps: More championships cannot sell more tickets [B]IF[/B] there are no more tickets available to be sold!!! [/QUOTE]
