Southwest Minnesota State University Mustangs Football Tickets

Southwest Minnesota State Mustangs football has been part of Marshall, Minnesota since 1968, representing SMSU in NCAA Division II as a member of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. The program pairs prairie grit with an attacking offense, a combination that keeps Saturdays lively in the fall.

Program highlights include an NSIC championship, a Division II playoff berth and a string of All-Americans, headlined by record-setting quarterback Jeff Loots. Former Minnesota great Cory Sauter guided the Mustangs from the sidelines, and annual NSIC South showdowns with Augustana and Sioux Falls add extra edge to the schedule.

Home games unfold at Mattke Field at the Schwan Regional Event Center, where intimate sightlines put fans close to the action. Tailgating rings the venue, the pep band and mascot Stanger keep the energy high, and the brown and gold student section turns key drives into noise you can feel.
