As to attendance, what else is there sports wise to go to in Bozeman Montana??? For 1000 miles what is there to go to, Denver? Maybe Seattle? Lots of outdoor recreation but if you want a sporting experience you are looking at one of the few places in the Northern Rockies. Illinois State has to compete with the Chicago teams, St.Louis teams, Indianapolis, Big however many, minor league hockey and baseball teams. Inside of six hours central Illinois can be to Kansas City, Nashville, Milwaukee, the list goes on and on. We have tremendous competition which means we probably need to be happy with a lot fewer butts in the seats.
Competition matters but the biggest attendance variable for ISU is the level of collegiate competition combined with the lack of a quality football program.

Exciting and entertaining ending. Griz SO lucky on that 2 pt conversion. Enjoyed seeing the Bison knocked out. May the rest of the winter be long and cold in Fargo.
Well.. sure. But it was going to be long and bitter cold winter egardless. But now there's no all expenses paid trip to Frisco to break up the bitter monotony ......

Missoula has many, many micro breweries. My visits there have been very enjoyable.
Much better than Fargo.....

One of the top ski resorts in the country.

It’s gorgeous out there but you can ski most any other day. They have zero pro teams and two colleges so they don’t have a ton of options. That being said…the fan turnout was pretty cool.
