Wow, from ticket prices to scheduling a lot of negativity on this site.

Re: 2014 Season Tickets and schedule

Disappointing for fans to say the least. I'd like to hear the players and coaches opinions about it before I completely disparage admin for scheduling what seems to be a completely worthless game. I am not inclined to attend but could be convinced to change my mind. Will need to entice me with something more than a D3 team.

"“We are excited to be able to secure a 12^th game for our football program,” SDSU head coach John Stiegelmeier said. “ I know our seniors look forward to the additional game, and we are all appreciative of our administration for being persistent through the scheduling process.”

That was his outside reaction, anyhow. Inside he HAS to be disappointed.

I bet the 2nd and 3rd stringers are REALLY looking forward to the game.

That, or the administrator in charge of our football schedule dropped the ball.

A DIII team? Really?

I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt here. Play along!

You need to buy an Oshkosh ticket to get a USD ticket? Is that true?

Re: 2014 Season Tickets and schedule

Well, to say this is disappointing would be an enormous understatement. That being said, it was obviously impossible to get a decent (DI) team to come here. There has been a lot of talk in the past about creating to tough of an OOC schedule. Guess that's not a problem this year.

Puke.

I have a wedding that day so I guess I won't be missing a good team coming into CAS.

I've made my feelings known about our football scheduling before. Just when I think they start to turn a corner...

NSIC schools don't have any OOC games. They are fillled up w/ their conference games (16 teams in a conference).

I forget that it is such a huge conference.

Hopefully they price this game accordingly. If they want to raise prices for Hobo Day, NDSU, and USD, then they can bite the bullet and decrease the price to get butts in the seats. I could see keeping it the same if we were playing Wisconsin-Whitewater or Mount Union, but not for any other D-III team. If we are going to play lower teams, why not try some local teams like close NSIC teams or even Dakota State. Maybe this is an attempt to expand more recruiting in to Wisconsin.

A D3 opponent who went 8-2 last year. There is no good that can come from having this game on the schedule, other than additional $ from us season ticket holders.

Nothing but a money grab by our administration. I'm all for capitalism, but this just feels like us season ticket holders are getting bent over some barbed wire fence.

I agree.

And its Beef Bowl. A Beef Bowl game against a D3???? Complete joke, IMO.

I have lost a lot of confidence in the athletic department in recent months.

Re: 2014 Season Tickets and schedule

So they can charge us season ticket holders another $20 a seat. Maybe they will prorate it to the competition but I doubt it.
