Before we can boast about our home field advantage in the playoffs, we need to get way more people to the stadium for those games. I know the students aren't always there, but there's gotta be something that can be done. Playoffs should be harder to get tickets, but we haven't reached that level..... yet.
Meanwhile NDSU had their place packed to the rafters. We would have to absolutely sell out to be able to try to recreate that kind of home field advantage. Even then, I don't think it's logistically possible.
My point is while it would be great to host NDSU, I'm not sure we would be able to make our place as intimidating as it was to play in Fargo.
