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, and two enormous club rooms featuring the longest freestanding bars in the state. The training facility features a 10,000 sq. ft. weight room, multiple locker rooms, Olympic Arena, and the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center for the basketball and volleyball programs. What you have is more than a world-class facility; you have the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
