The Sanford Coyote Sports Center is set to undergo a major transformation in the 2024-25 academic year, with USD students set to enjoy improved seating options. Elizabeth Wiggins, President of Coyote Crazies, expressed her excitement about the changes, highlighting the positive impact it will have on the game day experience.
Sam Anderson, Vice President of Campus Activities Board and USD student, emphasized the importance of the new location in providing students from diverse backgrounds a better view of the game and overall Coyote athletics. He also pointed out that this change will create new opportunities for students to engage with the game in different ways.
Athletic Director Jon Schemmel stressed the significance of student engagement and the priority given to student feedback in improving seating options. The goal is to enhance the campus experience and game day atmosphere by providing a more interactive experience for students at sports events.
Moving forward, sections 102 and 103 will continue to offer traditional bleacher seats while sections 104 and 105 will be reserved exclusively for students. The student section will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis in these designated sections.
