Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Betty Engelstad Sioux Center

1 Ralph Engelstad Arena Dr

Grand Forks, ND 58203

Located on the University of North Dakota campus, the arena sits within Grand Forks and approximately 80 miles from Fargo, ND. Its placement next to Ralph Engelstad Arena makes it part of a cohesive sports hub with straightforward access.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in lots adjacent to the arena and is generally free or low-cost for most events.
• Public Transit: Local bus service (Cities Area Transit) serves the UND campus area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically near the main entrance for smooth arrivals and departures.

Arrival Recommendations

Aim to arrive 45–60 minutes before tipoff or first serve. This window helps you find the best parking options in adjacent lots, pass through entry efficiently, and settle into your seats with time to spare for pre-game warmups and starting lineups.

While the arena itself is indoors and weather-protected, North Dakota winters can impact travel and parking conditions. Build in extra time when snow or ice is in the forecast, and consider rideshare if you prefer door-to-door convenience near the main entrance. Once you’re on site, the terrain is flat and the walk to your section is short and accessible.

Public transit via Cities Area Transit can be a smart choice for select events — especially if you’re staying near campus or downtown. If you’re meeting friends or family, set a meetup spot at the main entrance or inside near a visible concession stand to reconnect easily before the game.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s compact layout makes it easy to navigate, with seating sections organized for quick access from the main concourse. You’ll find standard concession stands offering snacks and soft drinks, plus UND merchandise available at select events — perfect for grabbing a shirt or hat to show your Fighting Hawks pride.

Restrooms and concessions are distributed for convenience, and ADA accessibility features like elevators/ramps support smooth movement throughout the venue. ATMs may be available; if you’re planning to purchase merchandise or refreshments, bringing a cashless payment option is smart for speed at checkout.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check the official site or event details for the most current policy.
• Prohibited Items: Typical restrictions include weapons, outside food and drink, and large bags. Always review event-specific guidelines before you go.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Service animals are permitted as required by law.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• If winter weather is expected, allow extra travel time and consider rideshare for a warmer, faster dropoff near the entrance.
• Plan your route through the UND athletics complex — parking is adjacent, but arriving early offers the best choice of lots and a more relaxed entry.

Pre-Event Planning

Give yourself time to explore the UND athletics complex before the game. With the Betty nestled next to Ralph Engelstad Arena, the area offers an impressive look at the university’s sports footprint — a great backdrop for pre-game photos and meetups. If you’re coordinating with a group, share your section and row ahead of time and pick a clear landmark on the concourse as a meetup point.

Check the event details when you buy Betty Engelstad Sioux Center tickets to see if there are any fan promotions, early warmup viewing, or campus happenings the same day. Arriving 45–60 minutes early lets you grab concessions, browse merchandise, and get settled without missing introductions, national anthem, or the opening whistle.

If you’re planning a full day, consider pairing your visit with local attractions on or near campus, like the North Dakota Museum of Art or Downtown Grand Forks. It’s an easy way to turn your game or match into a laid-back day out with friends and family.

Accessibility

Betty Engelstad Sioux Center is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available in adjacent lots, accessible seating throughout the arena, and elevators/ramps to support movement between concourse areas and seating locations.
