Herb Parker Stadium is an outdoor 4,500-seat multi-purpose stadium in the north central United States, located on the campus of Minot State University in Minot, North Dakota. The venue is home to the MSU Beavers football and women's soccer teams. It was named in 1983 for Herb Parker, the long-time coach and athletic director.
The Beavers are members of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) in NCAA Division II. Prior to 2012, they belonged to the Dakota Athletic Conference in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
The artificial turf field runs east-west at an approximate elevation of 1,600 feet (490 m) above sea level; the grandstand and press box are along the north sideline.
The stadium is undergoing a multiple phase improvement project, which includes construction of a press box, concessions, ticketing office, a lobby, merchandising area, and a video scoreboard.[1]
