Bison football team’s flight to Hawaii was delayed by more than 13 hours

FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – The beginning to the Bison football team’s trip to Hawaii to play the Rainbow Warriors seemed like a false start penalty. North Dakota State University Assistant Athletic Director Ryan Perreault said the plane was scheduled to leave Hector International Airport at 11:30 AM on Thursday, November 12, but was delayed because of maintenance. It arrived in Fargo around 11:30 PM and players, coaches and staff were able to take off around 1:00 Friday morning. The flight landed in Honolulu at 8:45 AM central time. The team had meetings and a short practice in Fargo on Thursday instead of having it in Honolulu on Friday. The delay didn’t impact the Bison from visiting Pearl Harbor on Friday afternoon. Kickoff for the game is at 10:10 PM central time on Saturday.
