VERMILLION, S.D. -- Midco and the University of South Dakota athletic department announced a $1.5 million gift that will transform the former Dome Club into the Midco Club, a renovated premium space designed to bring Coyote fans closer to the action inside the DakotaDome.
 
The agreement includes naming rights for the Midco Club and a slate of upgrades that will elevate the gameday experience, including new windows that open to the DakotaDome on gamedays, additional TVs, new furniture and refreshed finishes throughout the space. Additional gameday seats will also be added to the Midco Club, with a limited number available for purchase on a season basis.

"I am incredibly grateful to Midco for this investment in Coyote Athletics," said South Dakota Athletic Director Jon Schemmel. "Midco has been a critical partner throughout our growth in Division I athletics, and this gift will help us create an even better gameday experience for our fans, student-athletes and supporters through the new Midco Club."
 
 
The partnership between Midco and USD dates back more than 20 years and reflects a shared commitment to creating memorable experiences for Coyote fans across the region. The latest gift builds on the momentum of the recently extended relationship between Midco and USD Athletics.
 
 
"Midco and USD have built something special together over more than two decades, and we're proud to keep investing in a place that means so much to Coyote fans and the state of South Dakota," said Paige Pearson Meyer, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Midco. "The new Midco Club is going to be the best spot in the house to watch the Yotes – a premium, energetic space where fans can gather, celebrate and feel right in the middle of the gameday atmosphere."
