Sorry if this has already been asked…what sideline is the MSU side in Toyota Stadium?

Ticket prices on the NCAA website are ridiculous. Waiting might be the thing to do.

We got our seats ahead of time in the Section 119 which is the endzone by the field entrance portal nearest to the east sideline. If seats come available there, please buy them. I want to be sitting next to Bobcat fans if at all possible.

The NCAA needs to change how this is done. You might as well buy tickets when they first sell them, you have them if your team goes and if not, jack the price up and triple what you paid. Why not just wait until the teams are set and sell them. It’s so dumb.

Agreed - it's a bad system that only benefits the scalpers and ticket reseller sites. The NCAA, schools and fans don't benefit. The only reason I can think of that could benefit the NCAA is that they sell all of the tickets early, so if it ends up being Georgetown vs. Wofford, the don't have a bunch of unsold tickets (randomly picking two teams that I'm guessing wouldn't send many fans).

I would say to be careful with that approach the next two years (at least) though. Going to a much bigger stadium my guess is that there will not be the lack of supply issue driving up the resale values.

That is true. I think if this stadium had 5,000 more seats, you wouldn’t see prices as high as most teams that go aren’t going to completely pack that place.

If the FCS playoffs continue to basically be the Montana-Dakota Invitational Tournament with some also-rans added to fill out the bracket, then they definitely need a larger venue for the game. The last 4 championship games have only had 4 different teams participate and that doesn't appear to be changing as those schools build FBS level facilities that almost nobody else in the FCS has any chance of matching.

Everybody says wait, but dammit I dont want to miss this, I been waiting my whole life to go to a national championship.

Bought them off of Vivid Seats, probably spent too much but I know we are going now.

Those of you who have been to Frisco: From what I can see online, it looks like the scoreboards/video boards are in the corners on both sides of the stage? From photos it appears there are a couple small video boards on the other end but they look really small for replays from the opposite end and/or maybe not used as scoreboards?

If so, the seats at the stage end of the field might not be very good (if you have to crane your neck to see them).Anyone know how this is set up?

Press box side west (left) bands are seated north under the cover (top) from other posters, sounds like the Bobcats sideline will be on the east side (right) and both locker rooms are at the south end of the stadium (bottom)

If we are on the east side, it would be opposite of the 2022 game when the Cats were dressed as visitors on the west sideline in white and NDSU dressed as the home team in their dark jerseys on the east sideline.

As I recall, the parking around the stadium was fairly large and I had no trouble finding a spot. But then again I pulled up about 1 1/2 hours before kickoff.

Anyone know when the ticket office does the tickets by priority number?

Several parties of our tailgate group received emails from MSU Friday around 5pm saying that they either did or didn’t receive tickets for Frisco based off priority number. I had a higher priority number than the ones that got the positive email and I have yet to hear anything…..

Anyone else in that boat?

Yes, if you are in the 200’s and request tickets back when MSU sent out the email, you should have received an email saying your tickets request will be fulfilled. I think Insaw on here someone in the 500’s got them.

Got tickets a while back plus put in for tickets through MSU. Didn’t get those but am still waiting if some become available I could get a call. My only question is do all people that get tickets through MSU get six? I think some of those folks don’t buy six all year so they will resell. Don’t you think everybody should have tickets available based on how many they buy during the year??

Low 400s and haven't heard anything. My application is gone from the TW portal and I don't have a way to prove I requested tickets. This is concerning.
