You could spend thousands of dollars to go to Disney World and see a fantasy Main Street parade.

Or you can come to Grand Forks during Potato Bowl week, and see the real thing for free. And if you couple that outing with a trip to the French Fry feed in University Park (also free), plus taking in the UND football game against Northern Arizona (free again … well, if you’re a UND student, at least), you’ll wind up enjoying an all-American experience that rivals anything the Magic Kingdom has to offer.

The photos on this page represent UND-related highlights from Potato Bowl Week, as recorded by the University’s team of crack photographers. Scroll all the way down, and you’ll find a YouTube video of extended highlights from the UND-Northern Arizona football game, produced by UND Athletics.

Enjoy! And we’ll see you at Homecoming!
