About Betty Engelstad Sioux Center

Betty Engelstad Sioux Center, also known as The Betty, opened in 2004 as part of the Ralph Engelstad Arena complex in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The venue is owned by the University of North Dakota and operated as part of the Ralph Engelstad Arena complex. With a capacity of approximately 3,300, it functions as a mid-sized indoor arena for court-based events and university programming at One Ralph Engelstad Arena Drive.

The arena serves as the primary home for North Dakota Fighting Hawks men’s basketball, North Dakota Fighting Hawks women’s basketball, and North Dakota Fighting Hawks women’s volleyball, all competing at the NCAA Division I level in the Summit League. Its event calendar is centered on college athletics, with basketball running roughly November through March and volleyball taking place in the fall, along with occasional community events, camps, and university functions.

Named for Betty Engelstad, wife of benefactor Ralph Engelstad, the Sioux Center is part of a larger athletics complex known for high-end collegiate facility design, including granite, cherry wood, and marble finishes in the broader Ralph Engelstad Arena complex.

Location & Transportation

Betty Engelstad Sioux Center is located at One Ralph Engelstad Arena Drive, Grand Forks, ND 58202 — within the Ralph Engelstad Arena complex near the University of North Dakota campus.

Driving and Parking: Most attendees arrive by car. The Sioux Center shares ample surface parking around the Ralph Engelstad Arena complex, and parking is generally free or low-cost for most events. Arriving early helps you park, enter the complex, and settle into your seat before tipoff or first serve.

Transit: Grand Forks is served by Cities Area Transit, but service to the venue is limited, so public transit is less commonly used for events at the Sioux Center than driving.

Rideshare: Rideshare service is available in Grand Forks. Drop-off and pickup are straightforward because of the open, campus-adjacent parking footprint around the complex.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are concentrated along the Columbia Road and 32nd Avenue corridors and near Interstate 29, all a short drive from campus. Downtown Grand Forks also offers lodging for visitors who want to stay near restaurants and the city center.

Venue Navigation

Betty Engelstad Sioux Center is a compact indoor arena within the larger Ralph Engelstad Arena complex, so understanding how the building connects to the broader facility makes arrival easier. Once inside, the single-bowl layout keeps navigation simple and puts most seats close to the court.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through the Ralph Engelstad Arena complex, then access the Sioux Center from within the overall facility. Because the venue sits inside the larger complex, following event signage and staff direction helps keep movement efficient.

Seating Levels: The arena uses a single compact seating bowl surrounding the court, served by a concourse that provides access to the seating area. The smaller scale makes it easier to move between entrances, concessions, restrooms, and seats.

Accessibility: As part of the modern, ADA-compliant Ralph Engelstad Arena complex, accessible seating, parking, and restroom facilities are available for guests attending events at the Sioux Center.

Getting to Your Section: The compact bowl makes section navigation straightforward. Staff and signage assist guests inside the complex, and the arena’s smaller footprint helps reduce long walks once you reach the Sioux Center.

How Much Do Tickets to Betty Engelstad Sioux Center Cost?

Betty Engelstad Sioux Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team or matchup, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from UND volleyball to rivalry basketball matchups.

For UND basketball, including men’s and women’s games, tickets are often approximately $10–$25, with prices driven by seat location, opponent, and whether the game is a conference, non-conference, or rivalry matchup. Games against opponents such as North Dakota State can draw stronger demand.

For UND volleyball, tickets typically fall around $5–$15, making volleyball one of the most accessible ways to experience the arena’s compact college-sports atmosphere.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat selection, particularly for marquee or rivalry matchups. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining sections can become harder to find at the strongest values.

Getting Ready for Your Betty Engelstad Sioux Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus-adjacent indoor arena where most guests arrive by car.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself time to park around the complex, enter through the Ralph Engelstad Arena facility, and settle into your seat before the event starts.
• Wear the right footwear. The venue is a modern indoor facility with standard concourse and seating access, so comfortable shoes are a smart choice for walking from parking areas and moving through the complex.
• Dress in layers. Basketball and volleyball seasons run through colder months in North Dakota, so dress warmly for travel to and from the venue.
• Know your entrance. Entry is through the Ralph Engelstad Arena complex, and understanding the overall facility layout before arrival helps you move toward the Sioux Center smoothly.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
