FARGO - It didn't take the NCAA long to display a temporary sold-out sign for the Division I Football Championship Subdivision title game. The final 559 unallocated tickets were sold on Thursday.

Of the last 500, 400 were sold to addresses from Minnesota or North Dakota - most likely a product of the defending champion Bison being the No. 1-ranked team in FCS and fans not hesitating with the $30 or $35 gamble for a ticket.

Only about 7,400 tickets in the 20,086-seat FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas, were currently made available to the general public. Each title team will receive 4,000 allocated tickets while another 4,000 goes to various groups such as the marching bands and Frisco businesses.
