Sounds a lot like Velva's.

i liked willistons old one. bleachers on one side and tailgating all the way around. the players would walk from field into high school locker room across parking lot. GREAT atmosphere.

the new one isnt bad but nothing like the old one. the new one is a cople blocks away and only tailgating on one side and the bleachers are on teh other side of the track rather than up to the field.

If anyone has been to bowman and seen the field than you will agree with me. it is excellent. the grass is so unbelievably nice. they have people working on it almost all year around. they have just replaced the track two years ago. Just this last year they have put in a new grandstand and crows nest which is just awesome. i think Bowman has a very nice field

What about some of the field in Region 1 9 man - Hankinson and Wyndmere.  Many great games and great field grass.

Whitney Stadium in Dickinson is going to be very nice in the future they might put in Field Turf and put locker rooms by the field for the teams and more seating . Those changes need to happen pretty soon because it is pretty bad

Whitney will be very sweet after they remodel it, it diffiently needs it.

I agree it is a very nice field. Also I like Oak Grove's with all the trees and the river behind it really sweet place.

Lisbon has a nice field at Sandager Park. Lots of tradition on that yard. Towner does have a nice field, and currently updating.

I'll agree with you. Lisbon does have a great field. I think they just redid it recently. Very nice and a fun atmosphere.

I liked playing at FOG. It kinda let me relax with all the trees and the river near by.

FOG is a pleasant setting but I don't like swatting skeeters every other second.

yeah, wyndmere's field use to be in pretty tough shape....but now it's gotten alot better, pretty quick field to play on for natural grass but the atmosphere has gotten much better in the past years I would have to say since there last championship team....i don't like hankinsons too much, but love the hard fought games between the two teams

I'd have to say that Whitney Stadium is one of the nicest fields to play on. But only at the beginning of the year. With 3 teams playing on it, it gets pretty turn up towards the middle or the end of the year. But starting out it is a great field.

Border Central had an awesome field back in the day. 80 yds including the end zones. Kickoff from the 20, and just set the football in one of the gopher holes. Afterwards celebrate by digging the gravel out of your appendages. Ahh, I can still smell the cow manure. Those were the days!

Oak Grove is a beautiful setting and for a stadium pleasing on the eyes you can't find a better one in the state... Coaching there two falls ago for a playoff game... one week before deer opener... I'm throwing some passes to the kids when I look over and I'm thinking to myself... if only this was one week later and i was in the deer stand... Really nice 5by5 whitetail was laying in the trees along the river... where else in the state can you see something like that while getting ready for a game? It was Awesome... Playing surface on the other hand at Oak Grove left a little to be desired... very wet in some spots...

Whitney will be amazing when it gets done... Field turf.. great track... lockerrooms... Very state of the art! Coaches will be fighting to get to be in the crows nest!

Valley City's field has a great view of the Hi-Line bridge and the hills on the horizon. Great place to play and watch games

best field i ever played on, and its not even close


That field is amazing Coach Vigen takes care of that field like its his kid. He refirtalizes it every year and waters it every day. We take care of that field really good and it has a really good atmospher. Theres trees surrounding it the grass is soft people can park by the south endzone or the parking lot its just a really nice field. I think its the best in the state

I think that Oak Grove's football field is a really nice field with an awesome location down by the river (great in the fall :D ); also add the fact that if you wanted to sit on the dike around the football field you would get a great view of the game.

However with the flood last spring the football field is out of comission right; hopefully it will be ready to go again for the next football season.

the badlands community bowl is by far the nicest field out there in AA football...except that so far there is very limited seating with the stadium not being completed

Good quality turf, and their stadium/pressbox is unreal. I will say I've been on every turf field in the state, and Minot State's turf is by far the nicest. Only people who have the same stuff are the Patriots, Nebraska, and Iowa from what I've been told. Maybe one more college.

The only way to answer this question is to have different categories.

Best Field/Stadium: Community Bowl

Best view: Either Minot stadium has great views.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then there's another category, stadium used by 1 team. Because they have 2+ schools paying for a stadium. This category can be up for debate.
