per Randy:
If you see a bunch of green-and-gold-clad football fans frolicking around the Twin Cities this weekend, don't worry. The Cheeseheads haven't arrived early for the Dec. 23 game against the Vikings.
You're seeing a temporary invasion from the northwest, with North Dakota State's football team visiting Target Field for its season opener against Butler on Saturday.
The Bison, winners of seven of the past eight FCS championships, including the past two, are expected to draw about 35,000 for the second college football game to be played at the Twins stadium. The 3 p.m. game might even challenge the announced crowd of 37,355 drawn by local Division III powers St. Thomas and St. John's in 2017.
"We're hoping to get close to a sellout," said Derrick Lang, executive director of NDSU's Team Makers, the athletic department's fundraising arm. "We're getting there. We're getting close."
