North Dakota State is back on the road this week, as the Bison will play in an NFL stadium for the second time in three years. This week, the Bison travel to Nashville, Tennessee for a matchup with Tennessee State out of the Big South-Ohio Valley Conference.
Nissan Stadium is the site of the game, home of the Tennessee Titans. It seats over 69,000, but the Tigers struggle to draw over 10,000 for home games. Last week, TSU had a crowd of just under 9,000 fans for its season opening win over North Carolina A&T. Bison officials are expecting near 10,000 fans of their own to attend the game in Nashville.
NDSU comes in after a 38-0 road win at The Citadel last week, posting its first shutout since October 2021. Barika Kpeenu ran for two touchdowns and Cole Payton combined for nearly 300 yards
