Football to play Saint John's at TCO Stadium in November

EAGAN, Minn. - The St. Olaf College football team's Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) game against Saint John's University on Saturday, Nov. 14 will be played at TCO Stadium at the TCO Performance Center in Eagan, the world headquarters and training facility of the Minnesota Vikings, as announced on Tuesday.
 
St. Olaf and Saint John's were originally scheduled to play at St. Olaf's Klein Field at Manitou at 1 p.m. before agreeing to the neutral-venue game. Kickoff will be at 6 p.m. with St. Olaf as the home team.
 
"Having an opportunity to play a conference game at a neutral site like TCO Stadium gives our student-athletes, fans, supporters, and alumni the chance to experience a game at a venue outside of our traditional schedule," said St. Olaf Head Football Coach James Kilian. "We are excited to be able to provide this opportunity and hope to see a lot of black and gold in the stands in Eagan."
 
Both schools will have an allotment of 1,000 tickets reserved for their parents and football alumni, which will be available for purchase on August 1. The remainder of the tickets (est. 5,500) will go on sale to the general public on Sept. 1. Ticket prices (after fees) will be $20 for adults, $10 for youth ages 6-18, and $5 for youth five and under. All tickets will be sold through Ticketmaster and will be general admission.
 
St. Olaf students will be able to purchase tickets for $5 and must present their student ID at the gate. A limited number of tickets will also be available for a pre-game hospitality event in the Vikings Museum, located adjacent to the field, for a $20 add-on.
 
The game will be the first meeting between St. Olaf and Saint John's at a neutral site in the lengthy series between the two programs. It will also be the second-ever college football game at the venue after Winona State University and the University of Minnesota Duluth played the first on August 28, 2025.
