Bubble in Sioux Falls for Gophers?

Would be a solid option. That area in SD is nice little sports complex with a lot of different venues the teams can use for training, and there’s a hotel right there as well.

Go Gophers!!

Gophers, SDSU, NDSU, Iowa State would be a nice 4-team regional non-conference bubble.

Rochester Civic Center would be good, too.

Am most curious about what they do with ACC Challenge games. Could go any number of ways.

Why not Target center? it has hotels and training facilities. Why go to SD when it can be here?

I like Sioux Falls, but they need to scrap the bubble and just play a normal home/away schedule, with fans.

Back to SS OP, I like the pod idea, would be fun and different for the teams as well.

Would prefer it be all P6 teams, if possible. Creighton, Marquette, Iowa State. Are all non-conf within six hr drive.

The main reason for a bubble in South Dakota would be the same reason as setting up a sportsbook in Antigua, incorporating in Delaware, or staging a horse vs human fight in international waters.

Places like South Dakota will relax on having events and fans before traditional midwest host cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, or Detroit.
