As I write this, I’m sitting at breakfast in a Hotel in DFW with 100s of North Dakota State Bison Fans. Honestly, I am one of 6 people in this large atrium without green and gold clothing....a little bit intimidating. They are expected to have 20,000 fans here for the FCS championship game against Eastern Washington. Their home stadium, the Fargodome, holds 19,000, sells out every game, and the noise decibel level has been measured as equal to a Saints game. They have been to the FCS Championship game every year since 2011 and have a record of 111-8 since 2011 and are 68-5 at home since 2011. Eastern Washington has won some recently but not at the same clip as NDSU and is only expected to have 2000 fans here. Matter of fact, I see 1 red and black sweatshirt amidst this sea of yellow and green.
So, what is the answer to our attendance issues? Winning, dominating our home field, creating a crazy atmosphere that people can’t miss, and winning some more.
