FARGO, N.D. – The North Dakota State University Athletic Department is excited to announce details surrounding this year's Winter Fan Day happening on Thursday, Oct. 22 starting at 6:00 p.m. at the Scheels Center.
Â
Winter Fan Day – presented by WDAY, Gate City Bank, and Great Clips – will combine our men's basketball exhibition game against MSU Moorhead with the opportunity for fans to meet, interact with, and get to know this year's men's and women's basketball teams and wrestling team to gain behind-the-scenes access prior to the start of the regular season.
Â
The event begins at 6:00 p.m., when doors open for the game, and fans can enter through both the North and South entrances of the Scheels Center. Activities for Fan Day will consist of autographs with all three teams, a bouncy house, a word from all three head coaches, and, of course, Bison basketball! In addition, corporate partners will be giving out promotional items and interacting with fans on the concourse.
