# The Dickinson Soccer Scene
Dickinson is the gateway to the Badlands and the heart of the Bakken oil boom — a city that has grown dramatically over the past two decades. Dickinson State University Blue Hawks provide collegiate soccer, while the city's booming energy sector has attracted workers from across the US and internationally, creating a surprisingly diverse soccer community in western North Dakota.
The Dickinson Soccer Association and DSU Club Soccer anchor the local scene. The oil industry's international workforce — including workers from Mexico, Central America, and Eastern Europe — has added vibrant pickup culture to parks along the Heart River. Indoor facilities at the Dickinson Recreation Center keep the game alive through harsh winters.
