Bison Sports Arena, a 6,000-seat multi-purpose arena built in 1970 in Fargo, North Dakota, is home to the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Bison basketball and wrestling team. The newly revealed plans include building of the indoor track and field facility closer to the planned basketball practice facility and closer to the track and field locker rooms.
In close proximity with each other, the new facility will not be linked to the BSA. One advantage of the project is that when the facility hosts a track and field meet, athletes can warm up in the BSA area.
The earlier plan was to build the facility to the west of old Dacotah Field in an area now occupied by tennis courts. It was found that the layout of the proposed track fits better in the new location.
The new complex will be named after Sanford Health, which donated $10 million for the project. It will be called the Sanford Health Athletic Complex.
