NDSU Football Could Play at Target Field

The Bison Athletic Director said Friday (Sept 23) that he is working with Target Field to have NDSU play at Target Field in Minneapolis.

The team and Target Field are trying to work out the final details. Matt Larson, The Bison AD said there is a 50-50 chance of a game being played in the stadium that holds 40,000 fans.

The confirmation could be a month or so away. This would be the first football game ever played at the home of the Twins Baseball Team. The biggest issue is configuring the baseball field into a football field.

One possible configuration would run straight down the field, the other possible option is to configure the field from left to right. There would have to be enough sideline area for the teams, benches and equipment.

Target Field officials said if any deal would happen, it would have to benefit both the field and the Bison.
