Welcome to the 2025–26 Season! Year after year, we set our sights on a lineup of events, competitions and athletic showcases that are guaranteed to bring more talent, excitement and energy to the Sanford Sports Complex. This season is no exception, and we’re excited to once again pack the house with the best fans around, including you! On the basketball court, entertainment is a slam dunk. You’ll see professional play from the Skyforce, entering their 12th season at the Sanford Pentagon, plus highcaliber high school and collegiate-level competition. This includes a full slate of Division I men’s and women’s games throughout November and December. Our volleyball fans are in for a huge season, too. For the first time at the Pentagon, we served up a major AVCA First Serve doubleheader, featuring the defending national champion, Penn State, back in August. This nationally televised event also included powerhouse programs from Kansas, Minnesota and Texas A&M. Coming up in December, the NCAA Division II National Championships will return for the second year in a row, promising matchups you won’t want to miss. Beyond the court, we’re hosting big MMA cards, major wrestling contests and so much more. Be on the lookout for music and entertainment announcements throughout the year and bookmark sanfordsports.com for easy access to all your Sanford Sports news, event and ticket information. Welcome to the game. Welcome to the show. Welcome to Sanford Sports Complex. We’re glad you’re here.

Milestone Madness: We made it to 100! This season is history in the making at the Sanford Pentagon, as we’re set to host our 100th NCAA Division I basketball game. We’ll officially mark the occasion Nov. 10 with a marquee matchup featuring Iowa State vs. Mississippi State men’s hoops – and continue the celebration all year long. From our first game in 2013 – where the No. 20 Wisconsin men’s team earned an 86-75 victory over St. John’s – to now, this milestone represents more than just a number. The last 12 years are a reflection of our commitment to a bold vision, hard work behind the scenes and, most importantly, a community of fans, partners and programs that have helped bring it to life. Getting to 100 hasn’t always been easy, but it’s always been 100% worth the effort. When we opened our doors in September 2013, we knew we would face unique challenges. As a new and relatively unknown venue operating as part of a major health care system – based in a city without its own DI basketball program – Sanford Pentagon was unproven in the eyes of college sports. Our unique structure, however, soon became our key strength, as we remained agile in navigating major changes in collegiate athletics – through a global pandemic and the ever-evolving landscape of NIL, transfer portals and TV network protocols. We’re incredibly grateful to the schools, teams, sponsors and partners who have trusted us along the way. Most of all, we’re thankful to the ones who fill these seats game after game – the fans who keep this place buzzing. Together, we have transformed these five walls of brick and mortar into a thriving hub for elite college sports – and so much more. Here’s to 100 games; cheers to 100 more!

THE VERY BEST PLAY HERE
SANFORD PENTAGON The Pentagon is the cornerstone of the entire Sanford Sports Complex, and the home of state, regional and national sporting events, and the Sanford Sports Academy. • Six perimeter high school-sized basketball courts • Three collegiate and professional-sized practice courts • Eleven tournament and fourteen practice volleyball courts The collegiate and professional-sized Heritage Court is a throwback to the gymnasiums of the 1950s, updated with state-of-the-art scoreboards, executive suites, food and more. Reminiscent of a time when sports were pure and simple, the Heritage Court will take you through time, and bring you right back to the reminiscent days of basketball. Adjacent to the Pentagon is the Sanford Fieldhouse. Together these facilities will provide sports-specific development opportunities for athletes from the interscholastic level to the professionals.

Permanently displayed on the second floor are panels with all state public school championship teams from 1912 through 1985 and Catholic school champions from 1937 through 1964. The South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame is always seeking fresh items of interest.
