Lokken Stadium (officially Dacotah Bank Field at Lokken Stadium) is a multi-purpose outdoor athletics venue on the campus of Valley City State University (VCSU) in Valley City, North Dakota. It serves as the home stadium for the VCSU Vikings football program and for the university’s men’s and women’s track and field teams.
Lokken Stadium opened in 1967 as the primary outdoor athletics facility for Valley City State University. Since its opening, the venue has hosted college football games, track and field meets, and a variety of campus and community events.
In 2018, Valley City State University began a major renovation of the outdoor track surrounding the football field at Lokken Stadium. The project included removal of the existing surface and installation of a new competition track, with the stated goal of improving training and competition conditions for VCSU athletes and visiting high school programs.
A new press box at Lokken Stadium was completed in time for the fall 2024 football season. VCSU reported that the replacement project provided an improved, safer and more comfortable work space for coaches, officials, media and other game-day personnel.
In 2024, the State of North Dakota issued a competitive solicitation for an “outdoor field turf replacement” project at Valley City State University’s football facility. The contract documentation described removal of the existing synthetic surface and installation of new turf, with work scheduled between May and July 2025. The project was intended to modernize the playing surface for VCSU football and other field sports.
Lokken Stadium is the home field for the Valley City State Vikings football team, which competes in the NAIA as a member of the Frontier Conference. The stadium is also used by VCSU’s track and field teams for training and home meets, and periodically hosts regional high school competitions and community events.
