Ralph Engelstad Arena is the home of North Dakota hockey since 2001 and is widely considered one of the finest facilities in the world.
Generously donated by longtime benefactor and the late Ralph Engelstad and wife Betty with a gift of over $100 million (now over $250 million in today's value), the building has hosted a multitude of local, regional, national and international events in its near-25 years of existence.
The 400,000 square foot arena is nothing but first class. All concourse floors are granite, each seat is constructed of leather and cherry wood, and there are 48 full luxury suites, two mini-suites, two enormous club rooms featuring the longest freestanding bars in the state and the Sioux Shop retail store. The training facility features a newly-renovated weight room and recovery room and is connected to the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center – the home of North Dakota basketball and volleyball.
