Athletics sponsors recognition weekend Athletics is sponsoring a Fan Appreciation and Faculty and Staff Recognition Weekend Saturday, Nov. 8. The volleyball team hosts the University of South Dakota at 2 p.m., and the football team hosts Southern Utah in the final football game at 7 p.m. We are offering a $5 off ticket discount for all faculty and staff for the football game. There will be no limit on tickets and faculty and staff can buy tickets prior to the game, as well as the day of the game with a UND ID. We also have a $1 hot dog special at the volleyball game, and we are giving away a free trip to see the UND football team play at Texas Tech next year. The Tech trip will be announced between the third and fourth quarters of the football game. -- Sean Johnson, UND Athletics.
