Fresh fans on campus Becoming an active supporter of Minot State Athletics is one of the simplest ways to become a part of the MSU community. Sporting events open up campus to the community. Being present is sometimes all it takes to become involved. Knowing the rules of the game, or being friends with a player isn’t necessary to participate as a fan. Sports, most of all, are meant to be enjoyed. They create an open environment for people of any age to come and be part of MSU. The sports programs on campus are one of the biggest forms of unity at MSU.
