    This X 1E6. Not selling out a playoff game is a major issue. November weather and associated attendance, coupled with the fact I have a young family makes me want to re-visit...dare I say it....a Dome.

      NDSU gets in on past history alone (which they have earned), but we do not have that luxury.

      I'll take a 6th home game, but it needs to be against a quality opponent. If we can't beat one at home, do we really deserve to be in the playoffs anyway? None of this "buying our way into the playoffs" garbage.

      Not that we can trust the selection process anyways.........

      You may think it is garbage, but the reputation of the MVFC is such that the scenario that was laid out is how it works. If you choose not to believe, so be it. Get to 7 D-I wins and you have a chance to get in. Get to 8 D-I wins from the MVFC and history has shown that you are in no matter the quality of your non-conference opponents. It is what it is.

        Historically that first round weekend is a tough sell, because of Thanksgiving. Go look at the historical data and you will see it is just a fact. When SDSU went to Montana for the playoffs that game was not sold out - much bigger crowd then we had I'll grant you, but not sold out.

          3) SDSU starts having sustained, repeated success in the post-season, up to and including a national championship or two of our own.
          Agreed with all of these and will add another. Increasing the donations to the Jackrabbit Club and endowment for athletic scholarships.

            Agreed. I dome should be given serious reconsideration.

              Just say no to the dome. Yes to the practice facility. Yes to better and more seating with more room. Yes, God yes, to decent bathrooms. Yes to better concessions. But no to the dome.

                Re: Future Schedules

                This is completely my opinion, but I got my football season ticket renewal already. If they were expecting to add another home game I'm assuming these wouldn't be available yet. Looks like they'll head out on the road or not have a 12th game.

                Also, Montana State bought out NDSU's home game this year. Surprised? Not a chance.

                  Yes I am surprised, apparently they got their sixth home game, probably with Chadron.

                    I almost feel bad for NDSU

                    Does Drake count as a D-I win? Or any non-scholarship D-I team?

                        We turned down an offer to play Baylor this year.

                          That has been the rumor.

                            Any speculation on why? I realize it makes 2 FBS games, but had to come with some cash. It seems we're always searching for that.

                              For season ticket holders, when do we find out the date that we can call in/log onto the computer to pick our seats?

                              I renewed, but I haven't received my date yet. I just want to make sure I didn't miss it.
