An “Indoor War” is about to take place in North Dakota, as the Indoor Football League (IFL) brings its signature brand of action-packed football to Fargo in the Gridiron Classic, and BEK TV is proud to be the only network to broadcast the game live. The highly anticipated event takes place on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at 7:00 PM, at Scheel's Arena, featuring a clash between the Sioux Falls Storm and the Massachusetts Pirates. Tickets are on sale now at the Scheel’s Arena box office or through Ticketmaster.  

With lightning-fast plays, powerful tackles, and strategic maneuvers, every moment of the game promises to be a thrilling battle for all football fans. "Football isn't just a game; it's an experience that brings families and communities together,” says IFL’s Dakota Bucks General Manager Greg Schuh. “Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a great time, this game promises non-stop action and entertainment for everyone.”

But the excitement doesn't end with the final whistle. As part of the post-game festivities, attendees will be treated to a concert by the band Tripwire

Adding an extra layer of excitement to the event, North Dakota welcomes back Rod Miller, Head Coach of the Massachusetts Pirates. Miller is the former Head Coach of the Bismarck Bucks, North Dakota’s IFL team.
