Dacotah Field

The NDSU band practicing on Dacotah Field, date unknown.

Dacotah Field is an outdoor college football stadium on the campus of North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota. It is the former home of the NDSU Bison football team.

Dacotah Field opened in 1910 and had a final seating capacity of 13,000; it was replaced in this capacity by the indoor Fargodome (capacity: 19,000+) following the 1992 season.

From 2013, the NDSU soccer team moved from Ellig Sports Complex to Dacotah Field. Major renovations were completed prior to the move including new bleacher seating, lighting, new sound system, and new scoreboard. Capacity was reduced to 2,600 during the renovations.^[1]

In 2014, a $1,000,000 construction project added a roof to enable year-round use as a multi-use event and practice facility. The air-supported structure first hosted practice for North Dakota State Bison football on Dec 1, 2014.^[2]
