Board of Regents approves rodeo facilities plan
We believe SDSU can become nationally renowned as one of the elite collegiate rodeo programs in the nation; and simultaneously make a societal impact by attracting and educating student-athletes from South Dakota, the tribal nations and elsewhere.
South Dakota Board of Regents has approved SDSU’s request to dedicate 28 acres to a world-class Rodeo Campus which would include an indoor arena and much more. It will take several years to generate the large amount of private support needed to construct the facilities envisioned for the Rodeo Campus.
