MWC: WEEK #0

[JBB2]

Jacksonville State vs NDSU Bison

From Seatgeek

Section 3, Row T
$167
each incl. fees

Great seats, east side 25 yard line 21 rows up.

NDSUs Tickets are trickling out. 50 yard line top row $75. $70 yesterday. Obviously there are fewer left. Some young folks or visiting rubes that don’t know any better are headed up. These seats would be a hot ticket if they had elevators/escalators like the Sanford Center. A little far from the field but great view. I’ve been up there.

Direct from NDSU Less desirable seats and end zone are $53. Lower seats, but similar, on the secondary market, and end zone seats are generally priced higher. Some much higher. Right now is a prime arbitrage from NDSU to Seatgeek.

Our seats are nosebleed top row. I like that. No chance of the clown behind you spilling beer on you! Good exercise for us old bastards too!

I like them too. Last good seats from NDSU & they are selling. Only 32 Premium (sections 16,17,18,19) on the West side, all in the top row. I think BisonOline had a couple up there.

Once they get the place upgraded the elevators will turn them into a hot ticket. Looks like they plan some kind of open space, concessions and restrooms

Good chance it sells-out. Big game, must win. Bison fans remember the easy FCS title win, but The Bison are 1-2 vs Jacksonville including a 31-7, 1977 loss in the D2 semi final playoffs. It’s a showcase game between CUSA and The MWC. The Bison don’t want a loss. Neither does the MWC.

End zones & 9 premium seats are all that’s left from NDSU. It’s going to be a huge crowd. All good tickets are now on the secondary market.

Ticketmaster has these great seats at a great price

I overheard a couple und2 small college fans mocking Bison fans for not selling out yet. While on Ticketmaster I checked their junior bowl for Thursday the 27. Tickets are $25 and the place isn’t half sold out. NDSU has probably sold 17,500+, und2 6,000 or so. Good FCS crowd up there.

Meanwhile Fargo is on the verge of big time football. For every doubt and criticism there is a new opportunity. Maybe it’s NDSU that will move up from the MWC? No matter, it’s the first week in a huge challenge: Win the MWC.

[JBB2]

For all practical purposes the game is sold out. NDSU has a rapidly dwindling supply of 500 or so end zone seats left.

The good seat are on the secondary market. Strong pricing, a few $400+ are even showing up. How high can the FFD go?

Lots of confidence in The Bison. I’m seeing game predictions into the double digit win category. Coach is confident and looks ready for the challenge. The Bison are ready. Travel, FBS vs FCS, inexperience, new players, a few minor injuries are all in the mix.

Coach sounds good, he is excited but isn’t understating the challenge. Lots of unknowns. Here’s Izzy with Coach Polasek yesterday

This guy - THE GRIDIRON EXPERT - does a nice job. He has UNLV & New Mexico in the title game followed by Hawaii, Air Force and NDSU. He predicts a deserving New Mexico wins it all.

He figures The Bison 8-4 (4-4) and likely bowl bound.

Yea!

The most expensive seats I can find.

Seatgeek:

Section 22, Row FF
$548
each incl. fees
2 tickets

These seats are west side, high up off the end zone. The 50 yd line is 55 yards away.

This is a good analysis. Like the GAM they don’t think the Bison can cover. Split on the outcome it’s a 4 point game. We will establish our positions this weekend. Not sure if there will be any changes from our pre-season predictions. Odds always try to control the action. Who cares if it’s +10, what are the chances.

These guys say best bet JAX plus points, They are split on the money line and both are under 47,5.
