Sacred Grass; too bad the seats aren't as cushy.

Chauncey Martin Field
Distance from Fargo-Moorhead: 45 miles This may be the best playing field in the area thanks to the turf expert on the grounds crew. “Every summer I walk out there and think it’s maybe the thickest ever,” Vikings coach Dave Haugen said. The rest of the facility is just as cushy. Set in a bowl, it offers a primo view of the field from the home grandstand and, when the weather turns cold, gives fans the option of watching from a parked car beyond the visitors’ sideline.
