The reason I posted these is that I think if we get a 1st or 2nd round home game and we promote the heck out of it that we can obtain a Top Ten attendance record in the WNIT. Tell everybody you know at get them to Frost.

Re: WNIT

What is Frost's attendance now that the one end of upper-level bleachers can not be moved out due to the fire escape situation? I'd hate for them to move the SDSU ice cream stand, man I love that stuff.

They had the end bleachers out for the NDSU women's game . . . the ice cream stand was out in the foyer opposite the northwest concession area.

The bleachers didn't look like they were quite pulled out all the way though. The west end bleachers were pulled out but the couple of sections behind the band weren't pulled out. Also, the top three or four rows of the bleachers on both ends weren't pulled out.

My guess at hanging-from-the-rafters seating of Frost today is probably around 6,500, maybe 7,000 if the fire marshall's out of town.

you can get pretty cozy on the bleachers if everybody squeezes together a bit. You kinda have to trust in everyone else's personal hygene, but it can be done

Re: WNIT

Brief update on WNIT:

Cowbells are not allowed...I repeat no cowbells. Which really sucks for the crowd especially the older crowd.
They can take our cowbells but they cannot take our voices.
Rabbit Den Readers are prohibited from being distributed in Frost. But that wouldn't stop them from being distributed. In fact, they are roughly halfway done as of right now. Just waiting for the team and the player info right now.

Re: WNIT

No cowbell >........let me guess, no one is allowed to stand up, either........wait, that rule wouldn't actually affect many people :P.

Re: WNIT

Saw a great thing in the Minneapolis paper on, I think, Thursday. During the Minnesota State Hockey tournament, 1 teams fans (students) when the opposing team was introduced they all sat and had different sections of the newspaper and were reading them.

I know our students stand and turn their backs to the court, but this would give another option.


Just a thought. . . . . .

This is nothing new. The 1st time newspapers were used at Frost was about 25 years ago, maybe longer.

Re: WNIT

Hey Lady Jackrabbit fans.  I was wondering about your chances in the WNIT, so I decided to do some research and what I gather is that because South Dakota State is in Division 1 transition that they may not be eligible for the WNIT as well because it is considered a postseason competition involving NCAA-sanctioned schools.

I might be wrong in thinking this, but that is my understanding.  It looks like you guys have a very deserving team to be in the postseason.  But considering NCAA rules involving teams in divisional transition, I just want you guys to be aware of what may happen come postseason selection time.
