Originally posted by slosho View PostI remember that game as the Chant game. I think the TOB chant won out that day and I distinctly remember a FAT Pat chant as well. I could be mistaken, but it's funny the things a guy takes away from any certain game.
Its difficult, Sioux Falls can be very expensive to fly into. Still have to travel up to Brookings on top of it. I think you have to play the 12th game, whether its on the road or not. But I would be against playing a guarantee road game at a FCS opponent. If you can get a later return game (possibly when stadium improvements are finished). Then its not so bad.

Re: Future Schedules
Yea! It isn't about attendance it is about playoff eligibility. You need 7 D-I wins to be considered for the FCS playoffs - the more D-I wins the better - and home games are statistically easier to win then road games and wins against cupcake are statistically easier to win then games against quality opponents. So since they all count the same, why not a cupcake at home. Now it is kinda about attendance, because you need strong attendance so that you can pay a cupcake to come in. It works for NDSU I would like us to get there too.Last edited by LakeJack; 02-14-2013, 05:11 PM.

I am of the opinion that if we build a new stadium "they will come", but nothing is going to drive up attendance more than success on the football field. The shine of a new stadium will wear off very quickly if we don't put a good product on the field - See Target Field.
From the outside looking in, I would agree that it does not make financial sense to add a 6th game.

Also, I ran across this today. It's a short interview with Stig from the Star Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/191247471.htmlLast edited by SDSUAlum08; 02-14-2013, 03:00 PM.

If we're not going to get another home game next fall, which is better...seven road games or just sticking with six? Portland State is a game we should, in theory, win. Just interested in what feedback everybody has. I guess I'd be inclined to take the extra game, some money and/or a future return trip to Brookings (return trip would be preferred) and, with a little luck, the win.
