With the home game numbers I am actually surprised at the low turnout for one of the best teams to move up out of DII :confused:

Not sure who is the #one IAA team but I would guess we had over 2000 for our game.

The Polson HS stadium was standing room only. I would guess it seats 2500.

I can't wait until Saturday for our annual Blue/White game. There should be a few thousand Blue Hen fans on site. If I recall there was about 5,000
at last years scrimmage (The 2003 seniors got the National Championship rings). :D

I cannot understand why, but the NDSU Spring Game has always been the same day as the NFL Draft (at least in recent years). If it wasn't on the same day, attendance to the Spring Game would be doubled at a minimum.

WAY too many Vikings fanatics around here. Standing room only in most of the sports bars on draft day.
