I love how entitled of a fan base we have become that we can complain about a showcase game in Las Vegas! =D^ =D^

Why not a home and home instead? Hell yeah I would rather go to Fargo!

A televised game on a Thursday or Friday night? Bulls***. Don’t they know we won the Big Sky Conference last year? Saturday night prime time or I won’t even watch.

Don’t bring this lame sauce to us. Save it for the rest of the FCS.


Red White, Blue and Gold. Freedom and Football favor the bold

This will easily be the largest gathering of Cat Fans in the programs history. I would bet nearly double the amount that went to Frisco. Vegas is easier to get to, better time of year and you have 2 years to plan it out. 50k will show up for this game

Zero percent chance the game in Vegas exceeds the max capacity of Bobcat Stadium and the FargoDome combined. High 20k-low 30k is probably to be expected

Got a lot of time to ponder this one but I’d take the over here all day long. Two of the best traveling fanbases in the country. Two of the best FCS programs, with NDSU obviously being the cream of the crop. Vegas on Labor Day. So easy to get to. And two years for all fans to make travel plans.

Like I said, I’ll take the over on your attendance all day long.

Easy over. Probably a fair amount of just regular football fans that go to both games that weekend.

The Strip hotels in Vegas are also greatly variable in price, some will be willing to pay thousands to stay at the Venetian or Wynn while others will happily "slum it" at Excalibur or Luxor (this will be me). I don't think it's feasible to get all the Bobcat fans into one hotel when everyone will have their own budget and priorities for other things they want to do in Vegas for a weekend. I assume there will be plenty of football fans in Mandalay Bay since it's the starting point of the pedestrian walkway from the Strip over to Allegiant Stadium.

Agree completely BB. Too easy and fun to NOT go to with 2 years heads up to plan and save. I already can’t wait!

Find it interesting some of the fans on there would've preferred playing the Griz. Not that I would've complained about playing SDSU instead, because those guys are always a fun time and I view them as a mini-rivalry

Probably because we play NDSU almost every year and yet the griz have beaten them more recently than we have. They want revenge for that while they are probably bored of playing us.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!
