Construction will begin this summer on North Dakota State University’s new indoor practice facility. The North Dakota Higher Ed Board authorized the project on Thursday.
The entire cost of the estimated $37.2 million building is being privately funded – including a lead gift from Nodak Insurance Company which has been awarded naming rights. Groundbreaking is expected in July for the Nodak Insurance Company Football Performance Complex.
The facility will have two artificial turf fields – one indoors and one outdoors – on the site of the current practice fields south of the Sanford Health Athletic Complex. The indoor field will be a full 120 yards long and 60 yards wide with a roof clearance of 72 feet at the peak.
The project is expected to be completed in 13 to 15 months.
