SDSU Support

Re: SDSU Support

Well the reason we left DII was to get away from playing teams like Hamline, Bison fans have never cared about playing DIII, DAC 10, or NSIC teams and they never will. Northern Colorado is IAA team and even though they stunk last year SDSU should do better then 1881. Schools like UNC will always been on SDSU's football schedule and the Hamline's on NDSU's schedule will be going away soon forever. Next year NDSU is only going to play 2 non-DI teams and hopefully the number will be down to 1 or none after the transitions is over.

Honestly that is a pretty lame excuse, nobody forced you to schedule 4 Non D-I teams this season.  It was your home opener and you only got 839 fans.    NDSU should have done better then that.  SDSU scheduled one D-II team this season and had 2,117 show up to watch.

Now with that said it would be equally as asinine for me to try and draw any conclusion about NDSU and or it's fan support, based solely on that single game as it is for some Bison fans to do so based on our UNC game.

No need to worry about us we are doing just fine.

Total Home Football Attendance for 2005 season:


NDSU - 84,962
SDSU - 55,777
Cal-Poly - 41,755
UNC - 37,549
UC-Davis - 31,685
SUU - 15,839

Go State!  ;D

P.S. If you want to look at one game, how about Missouri-Rolla, a D-II team, we drew 14,503 for that one?  What kind of analysis can you draw from that?  One I can draw is that we almost out drew SUU's season with a single game.
