A copy of the game contract was obtained from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, via a state public records request.
The series will begin with Cal Poly hosting South Dakota at Alex G. Spanos Stadium in San Luis Obispo, Calif., on September 18, 2021. The Mustangs will travel to take on the Coyotes the following season on September 17, 2022, at the DakotaDome in Vermillion, S.D.
