South Dakota Sports 'Let It Shine'

Sports Complex Photos With Lights On
Coplan Field - Canton, SD

South Dakota came together in a big way on Friday night as part of a Let It Shine event that extended to both sides of the river. The idea was for businesses and organizations around the state to turn on their lights in support of state healthcare and front line workers. This movement extended into the sports world as numerous stadiums and sports complexes throughout South Dakota turned on their venue lights as part of the 'Let It Shine' movement.
