Trojan Nights will conclude on August 29 with DSU playing against the Dakota Wesleyan Tigers in the annual Ag Bowl at the new Blankley Field. The Beacom PREMIER Complex is a $41 million facility, which marks the first new DSU athletics facility since the Fieldhouse was completed in 1960.
The South Dakota Board of Regents approved the naming of both the Beacom PREMIER Complex and Brian Kern Family Stadium during its recent meeting.
