Our Story

Ralph Engelstad Arena is described by many as the "finest facility of its kind in the world." The Ralph opened its doors on October 5, 2001, and is the home of the Fighting Sioux. www.theralph.com

The REA has played host to many big attractions, such as Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, the Minnesota Wild, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick and many other entertainers and professional sport teams.

The biggest attraction though, and the reason the arena was built, is University of North Dakota Hockey. In its inaugural season (2001-02) in the new Ralph Engelstad Arena, hockey attendance erupted into an all time high. All of the games in this 11,634 capacity hockey arena sold out in just 43 minutes after single game tickets went on sale for the inaugural season.

The Betty Engelstad Sioux Center is home to UND men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and soccer teams. The Betty, which opened in August 2004, is considered by many as one of the finest facilities in the nation. The atmosphere created by students and fans provides an undeniable home court advantage. It offers seating for 3,300 fans, including permanent, bleacher seating and VIP hospitality room. It makes an ideal venue for sporting events, catered events and smaller concerts and shows. The Betty Engelstad Sioux Center pays tribute to Betty Engelstad, wife of the late Ralph Engelstad, and honors her continued support of Fighting Hawks athletics.
