Its Been A First Of Its Kind Experience For Watford City, And An In-State Professional Sports Team

Watford City, ND (KEYZ) The Bismarck Bucks have made Watford City the home of their 2021 training camp while they prepare for the upcoming season. The athletes and the staff of the Bucks were presented with a unique opportunity to get a real true professional training camp.

"It's been an absolute pleasure, nothing like this has ever been done in this league before. The IFL is an incredible league and we continue to grow every year." Assistant General Manager of the Bismarck Bucks, Destiny Brown. Along with giving the players a true training camp feel, it also showcased how a front office of a professional sports team operates. One of the big reasons it has gone so smoothly has been their hosts for the event.

Brown also lauded the hospitality and professionalism the Bucks had received in kind from their hosts. "The Professionals here at the Rough Rider Center and the people involved, we definitely wouldn't have been able to make anything like this possible. The way the Rough Rider Center and New Leaf Hospitality has stepped up has been instrumental to the process."

Invited to participate were over 40 athletes from all over the country, competing for 20 roster spots on the Indoor Football League franchise from the state capital. The Bucks will be holding and intra-squad scrimmage tomorrow, Friday 16th at the Rough Rider Center with a 6PM kickoff. Admission is $5, suites are available for $250.
