High beer consumption in the Dakotas is not a new headline. However, apparently the special Delta Connection flight 4561 from Fargo (FAR) to Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) didn't get the memo. The flight on Saturday, January 7th, 2023  was not prepared for the fans of North Dakota State University and South Dakota State University.  On a flight that was made special just for the Frisco, Texas-bound fans for the epic NCAA Division I FCS Championship game, the fans surprised the aircraft crews by how much celebrating was going to take place.

DRANK DRY IN 2 HOURS

According to EyeOnTheFlyer.com, the flight was drunk dry of alcohol about 2/3rds thru the flight. A flight that only had 54 passengers on the Delta Embraer 175. A source on board the Delta Connection texted Eye of the Flyer, "About 2/3 thru our flight, the flight attendants announced that they discovered we were a party group."


Delta does not have a normal schedule for operating non-stop flights between Fargo and Dallas, this was a specially scheduled revenue flight operated by SkyWest. However, for NDSU Bison fans with this latest attempt at a Championship Title, the 10th trip in 12 years, for many alumni Frisco, Texas has become a winter vacation destination.


Here is a look at the stats on how or where North Dakota or South Dakota ranks in beer consumption rates. Per capita according to BeerInfo.com, here is the breakdown.

    Next time there is such an EPIC game as this NCAA Division I FCS Championship, believe it is safe to say that the cabin crews will remember this group of flyers.

    Congrats to the South Dakota State Jackrabbits in a 45 - 21 win over the North Dakota State Bison.
