Single Game and Bison Pick Plan Tickets Go On Sale August 15

FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota State University’s football home opener is Saturday, Sept. 13, when the Bison host Southeast Missouri State at Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome. Single-game tickets and Bison Pick Plan tickets go on sale to the general public at 8 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15, and visitors to the Fargodome can expect more game day enhancements for the 2025 season.

Bison Pick Plan

Fans will be able to choose ticket options that fit their needs for the 2025 season with the new Bison Pick Plan. Build your own ticket package and pick 3-4 games with a guaranteed seat location at each game. The Bison Pick Plan gives fans the flexibility to pick their own games while offering up to a 25 percent discount compared to single-game ticket prices.

Stampede March and Tailgating

Fans with tailgating passes for the Fargodome lots E, F, and G are now able to set up on Friday nights from 4 to 7 p.m. Fans can drop their tailgating equipment (trailers, vehicles, tents, etc.) during the open time block for an easier set up on Saturday mornings. Fans are still required to exit the tailgate lot by 7 p.m. Friday and are not allowed to participate in normal tailgate activities during that time, including grilling, use of open flames, alcohol consumption, and more.

The Bison Football Stampede March returns to pregame for the 2025 season. Fans are encouraged to celebrate the team’s arrival, give high fives, and wish them luck as they march up Albrecht Boulevard and enter the Fargodome. You’ll know it’s time for the stampede when you hear the band leading the way with a fanfare, followed by Thundar and the NDSU cheer and dance teams. The Stampede March will happen 2 ½ hours prior to kickoff (12:00 p.m. for a 2:30 p.m. start and 10:30 a.m. for the 1 p.m. homecoming game).

Concessions

The Fargodome has implemented a new point-of-sale system to further improve the fan experience. Handheld payment devices will be utilized throughout the building to decrease the amount of time fans are in the line and a self-serve kiosk has been added to further enhance our grab-and-go locations on the south and west concourses. With the new point-of-sale system, cash, credit cards and all major contactless payment options (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay) will be accepted.

Buzzy Bee Coffee will now be available on the east and west concourses serving up delicious nitro lattes on tap brewed locally. Perfectly Nuts has expanded their roasted nut options to include cashews and pecans in addition to almonds and sunflower seeds.

Game Day Experiences

NDSU football game day experiences are back for the 2025 season including some new opportunities to take Bison game days to the next level! Fans can upgrade their experience to include pregame field access during warmups and the team entrance, take a photo on the field with Thundar, retrieve the kicking tee for the Bison, and even run out of the tunnel with the team listening to the roar of the crowd!

If you’re celebrating a special occasion, share a message on the videoboard for everyone to see. Wish a loved one happy birthday, celebrate an anniversary, or celebrate a first game with a videoboard message.

My First Game

A continuation of 2024, if you’re coming to the game with someone who is experiencing game day at the Fargodome for the first time, be sure to stop by Guest Services on the east concourse to pick up an official “My First Game” certificate and button to commemorate the occasion! The official certificate, signed by athletic director Matt Larsen, and button pin are the perfect keepsakes to help them remember the day they joined Bison Nation.
