This Saturday night friends, family, and football fans will gather at Howard Wood Field to watch the O'Gorman Knights (0-1) take on the Roosevelt Rough Riders (1-0) in the 34th Bob Burns Dakota Bowl. Approximately$140,000 is raised annually and nearly $3 million has benefited  Sioux Falls Catholic Schools since the event began.

The fans are expecting another close game and the weather should be perfect. Kick-off is at 8pm.

Due to the construction of the new events center parking will be limited. However, SMG, operators of the Sioux Falls Arena, have a great solution. For $20 they will offer on-site valet parking and they will park your car safely and securely in the Sioux Falls Arena.

Our Kickin' Country crew is also getting into another season of great high school football. Simply post of picture with you and your friends at a game on our Facebook page. We'll select five of the best photos and post them here on our awesome and popular website. You will then be able to vote on who has the best team spirit. Don't forget to "like" us!

Of course, tailgating is a grand tradition at the Dakota Bowl so we thought we'd bring you a football favorite recipe. So whether you're sporting Cardinal gold and white or Royal blue and white you'll enjoy this grillin'  favorite.
