Have the southern Minnesota schools play at the Rochester Regional Stadium and make a weekend out of it.

Curius where you got the numbers on Fergus Falls? I can only find that it has around 8.5% from 2010 to 2025. 2020 census shows 14,119.

Probably not the best but it was first I saw. The 57,000 didn’t make sense but it was draw area, so I thought it was possible.
 


Gustavus has held state playoff games over the years. It's an easy place to host a big football crowd and it has decent levels of seating on both sides of the field. It also has a long history of hosting all kinds of HS playoff action in other sports ranging from basketball and hockey to track/field. The only limitation is the new stadium there does not have lights. The old grass stadium did have lights but the fancy new stadium does not.
 


Possibly the 819th article this year on Moorhead in the Star Tribune today. I would love to hear about some of the other teams just once!

Lights are necessary due to Saturday games being limited with officials working college games as well. Colleges also obviously play Saturday. Gustavus has been expensive to rent. Southwest State is less expensive but less than ideal geographically.

Owatonna needs to be willing to host. Hopefully that occurs in the future.

St. Olaf has turf but they also don't have lights. Day games are great however this time of year.

Either that or Owatonna. Owatonna has the nicest facility in south central Minnesota that I've seen. Not sure of the capacity number but I'm sure it would be big enough.

It's plenty big. Might just not want to do it though.

It's as nice as most MIAC Stadiums I have been to.

Come back in another year as their talent are all Juniors.

They may win again. Won’t get the ball as much but who will get a stop in the game might just win.
