DICKINSON, N.D. - June 29, 2021 - PRLog -- The DSU Heritage Foundation unveiled the Sanford Sports Complex*, a $7 million-dollar all-weather soccer and softball facility, providing a community space for youth, high school, and collegiate sports teams to practice and compete.

This will give us the ability to host conference championships and national tournaments on the softball field," Stephen Easton, President, Dickinson State University. "Our Blue Hawk softball team deserves the opportunity to play in a first-class facility, and local youth softball and soccer teams will have a safer place to practice and play.
