The South Dakota athletic department is excited to announce enhancements to Coyote Alley for the 2023 football season. Presented by HyVee and Scheels, Coyote Alley is located directly north of the tennis courts and will feature live music, games, food and more. This area is free for the public to access and will be home to alumni, Coyote Sports Properties and student tailgate programming.
NEW AT COYOTE ALLEY:
- HYVEE AND SCHEELS PARTNERSHIP: Both HyVee and Scheels are the presenting sponsors of Coyote Alley this season. Their support helps enhance the entertainment options all season long.
- TAYLOR STREET CLOSED: In an effort to provide a safer environment for attendees and to expand entertainment options, Taylor Street, located directly north of Coyote Alley will be closed prior to games. It will reopen at the conclusion of all games to ease exiting traffic. Fans parking in lots A, B, C or D are asked to enter from Dakota Street.
- REVAMPED MUSIC PRESENTATION: A new stage and sound system will be utilized this season. The stage will have a larger surface area and higher elevation. The sound system will triple the speaker presence.
- EXPANDED FOOD OPTIONS & INFLATABLES: A least one food truck and food tent will be on-hand for each game at Coyote Alley. Additional inflatables will also be available for children.
