Fargo IFL Gridiron Classic Highlights Potential for Dakota Bucks' Return in 2025
BISMARCK, N.D., May 8, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - The recent Fargo IFL Gridiron Classic at Scheel’s Arena showcased not only the local enthusiasm for professional indoor football but also the critical factors that could determine the return of the Dakota Bucks in 2025. The event, which drew an audience of over 1,200, highlighted the community's interest in the sport.
Greg Schuh, General Manager of the Dakota Bucks, commented on the event's significance. "The turnout at the Gridiron Classic was encouraging, but it’s not enough,” he said. "With the right partners, the Dakota Bucks can make a strong return in 2025, but without support and collaboration, a 2025 season may not be feasible.”
The game featured a match between the Massachusetts Pirates, coached by former Dakota Bucks head coach Rod Miller, and the Sioux Falls Storm. The Pirates secured a victory with a score of 43-38. The event was vibrant with fan engagement activities including giveaways, contests, and performances, contributing to a festive atmosphere. The excitement extended beyond the game with performances by the Sioux Falls Storm Lightning Dance Team and appearances by various mascots, while a post-game concert by the band TripWire provided a memorable conclusion to the evening.
Schuh remains optimistic about the future, fueled by the support shown at the event. "As we chart our course for the future, the support and enthusiasm of fans at the Gridiron Classic has provided a clear indication of the opportunities that lie ahead,” he noted.
