Dakota Bucks Future Hinges on Secured Partnerships

"The turnout at the Gridiron Classic was encouraging, but it’s not enough,” says Greg Schuh, General Manager of the Dakota Bucks. "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 Fargo IFL Gridiron Classic featured the Massachusetts Pirates and Sioux Falls Storm. The Pirates are coached by former Dakota Bucks head coach Rod Miller, who was welcomed back to North Dakota with a team win of 43-38. The atmosphere was electric both on and off the field, with fans treated to an array of giveaways, contests, and performances. The Sioux Falls Storm Lightning Dance Team and various mascots added to the excitement, while the post-game concert by the band TripWire capped off an unforgettable evening.

Schuh says, "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.”
