Founded in 1894 in Fargo, North Dakota, North Dakota State Bison football sets the pace for the FCS. The Bison own 17 national championships across divisions, including nine FCS titles from 2011 through 2021, and a stack of Missouri Valley Football Conference crowns that underline consistent excellence.

Iconic alumni like Carson Wentz and Trey Lance helped elevate the program, while the annual Dakota Marker clash with South Dakota State fuels regional pride. Game day at the Fargodome is its own event: indoor turf, wall-to-wall tailgating, the Gold Star Marching Band, and a relentless student section combine for one of college football's loudest atmospheres. When the Bison defense tightens and the building hits peak volume, you feel it. If you want a live sports memory that echoes long after the final horn, a fall Saturday in Fargo delivers.
