OUR MISSION

Our mission is who we strive to be.

We want to be the happiest experience in people’s lives.

Where FUN Makes a Difference!

We believe that while people get caught up with work, busy schedules, and screen time they are ultimately seeking happiness, joy, belonging, and love. We believe people find happiness when they escape from these distractions and prioritize quality time with people and relationships that matter most. In our view, slowing down, having FUN, and creating memories with those we love is happiness. Once people have found their happiness then they aspire to help others do the same.

The Larks’ mission is to create the happiest environment on earth for our fans to build quality relationships and use the POWER of FUN to make a difference in people’s lives. We believe fans can take back control and put FUN first in their lives by joining the Flock.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Larks games are the best! The baseball is top-notch with some of the best college players in the country. They have great food and beer options too!”

Andrew M. 

“Well since I attend almost every game, it must be a great event to attend. The Bismarck Larks are a very professional organization that create fun. Yes, it us fun to win ballgames and to the Larks credit, they win many. However, I have left many times not even knowing the score as their is much fun off the field as well. Just go to a game and bring the family!”

Our History

We first arrived in Bismarck in 2017 with a goal to use FUN to make a difference and bring a new version of baseball to Bismarck Municipal Ballpark, Home of Dakota Community Bank & Trust Field.

For the first time, summer collegiate baseball made its mark on Bismarck following in the historic footsteps of American Legion Baseball, the Dakota Rattlers, The Pards, The Barons, and teams in the Churchill Era and prior.

The Larks inaugural season went down as the BEST inaugural season in Northwoods League history. The Larks sold out 27 of 36 home games in 2017 (75%). This was unprecedented in summer collegiate baseball history.

Since then, our talented employees, local investors, and formula for success continue to bring Larks baseball to new heights.

In 2020, the Larks became the first sports team in the country to play safely with fans in the stands during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the Larks sold out 92% of every ticket and were named one of the top 30 employers in sports by Front Office Sports in the company of the Denver Broncos and Savannah Bananas.

In 2023, the Larks sold out 96.5% of every ticket and averaged 1,833 tickets out of 1,900 tickets available each game, added a brand new video board, and hosted the NWL Great Plains All-Star Game.
