FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Supporters of an indoor football stadium in North Dakota’s largest city helped sell the project more than two decades ago by telling residents they would no longer have to watch those college playoff games in snow and subzero temperatures.
Turns out, they wouldn’t be watching playoff games at all — until now.
After dominating small college football for a quarter of a century and playing host to dozens of playoff games at an outdoor venue called Dacotah Field, North Dakota State is about to make its first postseason appearance inside the city-owned Fargodome.
The Bison (7-4) play Robert Morris (8-2) on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. The Fargodome has been home to the Bison since 1993 — a year after they last played a playoff game.
