The university's sports teams, competing in eight men's and eight women's sports, mostly in the Summit League. The most prominent program by far is the football team, a major power at the Division I FCS (second) level, including nine national championships in 11 seasons (2011–2015, 2017–2019, 2021) and the most recent title in 2024. With the Summit League not sponsoring football, NDSU plays that sport in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Most Bison teams play on campus, including the football team (the Fargodome is owned by the city, but the underlying land is owned by the university and part of the campus). Football games frequently sell out, but tickets for other sports are easier to find. Tip to fit in with the locals: the "S" in "Bison" is locally pronounced with a "z" sound instead of the "s" sound found in most other American English dialects.
Museum of the baseball player Roger Maris, who went to high school in Fargo and went on to play for the New York Yankees.
A nice campus to walk around and see Midwest college life in all its glory. They also have tours. It's a decent size campus with lots to see like the Memorial garden and the creek.
