Cobber Fest Lights Up the Night 🌟
Concordia College launched a brand-new tradition this year with its first-ever Cobber Fest, a day packed with games, music, photo ops, and even an ice cream social. The celebration led up to a historic moment: the Cobbers’ first-ever night football game at Jake Christiansen Stadium. The investment in stadium lights was more than just practical; it was a way to bring students, alumni, and the community together for a shared experience. The evening ended on a high note as Concordia defeated Mayville State 17-6 in front of a roaring crowd of roughly 7,000 fans.
