The University of Jamestown has announced that the $11.5 million renovations to Taylor Stadium will begin Monday, Nov. 2. The result will be a state-of-the-art facility for both the University of Jamestown and the Jamestown Public School District.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the project will occur immediately following the UJ/Hastings football game on Saturday, Oct. 31.
Because of those renovations, Taylor Stadium will be unavailable for the final three home football games for the University of Jamestown.
To ensure the best playing surface for games played in mid-to-late November and necessary infrastructure for the Jimmie football program and its Great Plains Athletic Conference members, the university has announced that the Nov. 14th contest against Dakota Wesleyan and Nov. 21 game against Doane will be played at the MDU Resources Community Bowl in Bismarck.
The Nov. 28 game scheduled to be played at home has been moved to Orange City, Iowa, and the campus of Northwestern College. In turn, the location of the Oct. 16, 2021 contest will switch from Orange City to Jamestown.

Two of the three games were postponed and rescheduled to late November due to health and safety precautions. The Northwestern game was originally scheduled for Sept. 26 and the Doane contest was scheduled for Oct. 10.
