Aug. 26—GRAND FORKS — A year ago, all six home UND football games exceeded 10,000 fans for the first time.
UND officials expect to continue that trend to kick off the 2026 season, although the school will still rely on a walk-up turnout when the Fighting Hawks take on Long Island University at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Alerus Center.
As of late last week, UND was sitting at roughly 3 percent attrition for season tickets compared to 2025. Early this week, that number started to improve, according to UND deputy athletic director Erik Martinson.
UND's season ticket sales have fluctuated in recent years around approximately 5,000 to 6,000, with the North Dakota State home-road matchup often the key variable between totals.
The Bison are no longer on UND's schedule as NDSU moves into the Mountain West Conference this season.
