The Missouri State Bears defeated the University of North Dakota 38-0 in their home opener Saturday night at Plaster Sports Complex. The festivities started at BearFest Village in a new location—on the lawn west of Carrington Hall with alcohol being served on campus before a game for the first time. The game was the first to be played with a new student section, which increased the stadium’s seating capacity to 17,500. The game saw a record crowd of more than 18,000.
