RAPID CITY, S.D. – On the heels of national signing day, Head football coach Charlie Flohr announced the South Dakota Mines football schedule for the 2024 season. 

The Hardrocker football team heads into the season with high hopes with many key players returns.
 
The schedule shapes up as a difficult one as usual within the RMAC.
 
The non-conference schedule begins with a couple of new opponents for the Hardrockers as they take a long trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to take on Michigan Tech on Sept. 5, followed by the home opener against Upper Iowa who begins their second year in the GLVC.
 
 A new RMAC cycle begins after that with a visit from New Mexico Highlands for homecoming, prior to a trip to Fort Lewis to close the month of September.
 
The month of October begins a tough stretch as it starts with the Black Hills Brawl at O'Harra Stadium on Oct. 5, followed by trips to the two top teams in the RMAC the past few years in Colorado School of Mines and Western Colorado on Oct. 12 and Oct. 19. The Hardrockers come back home for a matchup with CSU Pueblo on Oct. 26.
 
The short month of November includes two road games at Chadron State and Adams State on the second and 16th, with senior day and the final home game against Colorado Mesa on Nov. 9.
 
Ticket information along with game times will be released at a later date.
