Scroll down to the last paragraph, more than 1/2 the stadium is seasons now.

11,027-plus sold thru last week, record is 11,133 set last year.

The new natural surface looks fantastic now. The issue isn't what it looks like now but what it'll look like in half a dozen years, if the school doesn't perform the proper preventive maintainance needed for grass surfaces. We'll see.

I'm envious of your support. I realize a lot of tradition (not to mention demographics) play into it. But I'd be thrilled if Maine's TOTAL attendance averaged what your season ticket sales average.

Good luck this year. We won't see each other till the ought-eight season, but hopefully it'll be two games worth waiting for.

Imagine what next year's season ticket sales might be if we manage to field a quality team this year...

You Hens are at a level I hope to see NDSU at in the near future. Right now we're at a little over 6,000 season tickets sold for this year. Which is good, considering just three years ago we were at about 4,700.

Of course, you guys fill up your stadium for every game, a luxury that a vast majority of I-AA schools don't have.

Congratulations! JMU is also on a recordpace regarding season tickets. Albeit on a different level (around 4k probably).

well we sold out of season tickets last year (and regular tickets for most games), unless they up the # of season tickets available can we beat last year's number? haha

I'm not sure I understand the concept of "selling out" of season tickets. I know at some point you have to put single game seats on sale, but how do you sell out season tix when it's only 1/3rd of your gate?
