At the Sept. 11 game, the stadium was dedicated to former football coach Jim Malosky. Seconds before kick-off, Malosky was honored and received a standing ovation from the crowd.

James R. Malosky
The 1997 season marked the end of a golden era for Bulldog football. Due
to health concerns, the legendary football coach Jim Malosky was forced
to retire following a memorable 40-year coaching run at UMD. The winningest
coach in NCAA Division II football history at the time, Malosky just seemed
to get better with age as his clubs finished below the .500 mark on only
two occasions during his final 28 seasons.
