The Ralph Englestad Arena Reviews

The best arena for college hockey by far and in many ways the crown jewel of buildings in Grand Forks, ND.

If UND wins, it's awesome, but you still wonder why you live in North Dakota

Incredible ice arena that makes a college hockey game feel like a professional NHL game.

Talked with Alison over the phone for a tour of the Ralph and she set us up with another person to show us around. Loved where and how they take care of their Brides and Grooms. Alison was very pleasant and accommodating on the phone.

Thee most beautiful hockey arena in the USA!!! Very well staffed and the layout is exponential. Don't have to wander far for a restroom or a beer. Employees are cordial.

Nice play to come to, but depending on the event it gets extremely crowded.

Best arena not only in college hockey. But in all of hockey in the US

This is a beautiful arena. It feels like professional quality. A friend and I watched a game here and it was a lot of fun. Very easy to get into and they even had a fireworks show after.

Really nice facilities. Great venue for UND hockey games

There is no greater feeling than GAME NIGHT at The Ralph

Really nice seating and views. Multiple bathrooms and vendors for convince. would definitely go to another show here!

Love the Ralph engelstad took my son to his first hockey game here on my 30th birthday what a game

Really nice venue. Saw a Cirque du Soleil on ice show here.

Nice venue for concert. Comfy seating. Food & drinks & plenty of restrooms hahahaha makes for a good venue

Parking is a joke. But the facility's and the games are great.

This place is not called the Taj Mahal of hockey for no reason. It is beautifully thought out and constructed from the granite floors to the thought put into the bathroom flow. It doesn't have the cold look of cement that other hockey venues have and it also has excellent bathroom flow, which is very important when trying to hit both the bathroom and the beer stand and perhaps a food stand during the period break. It's not just the beast looking hockey rink in college, it's the most well thought out for flow of everything a hockey fan would want to accomplish during a period break. I realize I have mentioned bathroom flow more than once but there is not a single stadium for any sport that I have been in where that was done better.

They just installed a massive scoreboard. Energy of the crowd makes this one of the best places to watch college hockey.

We're here for state hockey. Beautiful arena and the workers are the absolute best. Overall an exceptional experience.

Always a good time there but today it was great because they beat Bemidji in hockey.
Hockey,Hockey,Hockey Hi Hi Hi !!

It's a beautiful building but they need to fix two issues for me to give them five stars. They need to serve Budweiser beer, I've been told they don't sell Budweiser because of contract issues between other beer companies. They also need to get credit card machines at beer serving locations. Come on, it's 2013 not 1995.

The best Hockey Venue on the planet. If you like hockey, you will LOVE this facility.

One of the best hockey facilities in the country, of any level of play. Only thing that's a negative is the parking isn't fan friendly.

Amazing place and a win for ND in overtime to boot!

Love the Englestad Arena with all the throwbacks to UND's heritage with the Fighting Sioux name and logo. Recently was there for the Kane Brown concert. The concert was good, especially from the Betaseed club! My only negative comment is it seems like the concert acoustics were really off sitting up there. It maybe was fine down on the floor, but higher up it sounded a bit off... but overall it was a good show with good performers who had great interaction with the crowd!

First time to a hockey game it was a really great experience in this Arena all the food stands are very delicious.

I've had some of the best times here. The place is always clean, always a friendly staff.

I always enjoy coming here with my uncle Saturday nights. Go Sioux!!

Amazing hockey venue! Attending a game here should be one of the 99 things to do before you die.

Facility is great, could use some better reffing tho.

It is a cutting edge palace for a plethora of events. Everything about the place is almost perfect. Go there, no regrets.

It is a beautiful venue. I love watching hockey games at the Ralph. Every seat had a great view of the ice. They are cushy comfy seats.

Always an energetic atmosphere and amazing well run Hockey Arena.

The hockey is aight, but what beats 6 bucks cheap whiskey cokes all night long? Anyone honestly know because I don't

Gorgeous stadium with overpriced drinks (like any large sports venue).

The seats are made for people 3 sizes smaller than me. I wasn't comfortable at all.

Nice facility clean friendly staff all the amenities

This is a very nice rink. Good for hockey games or birthday parties. It has a lot of good things about it.
