Prior to the Dakota Bowl, the football championship games were held at various sites across the state.
Beginning in 2002, with the opening of the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, the Dakota Bowl alternated between the Fargodome (odd years) and the Alerus Center (even years).
Starting in 2015, the Dakota Bowl will be held at the Fargodome until at least 2020.
