For the fifth time in six games, North Dakota State will be selling standing-room only tickets. The Bison ticket office said only a few hundred remained for Saturday's 4:07 p.m. game against Illinois State.

All reserved seats have been sold at the Fargodome, which carries a capacity of 18,700.

About 4,000 seats are reserved for NDSU students, so a sell out will probably depend on their attendance.

NDSU, ranked sixth in Division I Football Championship Subdivision attendance at 18,148 per game, will set a school record in that category this year. The old mark of 16,377 was set last year.
