None of it would be possible without the donations of UND’s great donors. Largest big screen in college hockey and highest average attendance in North America next to only NHL teams.
The Ralph is such a great place to see a game. I remember when I was younger and did a hockey camp at UND. It was so cool to see all this every day before getting on the ice.
All the seats in the Ralph are leather, too. The floors on the concourses are marble. The railings are brass. It definitely feels like you should take you shoes off when you walk in.
Yall have got to make a trip back later this season for the UND vs Denver series at the ralph considering they are 2 of the top teams in NCAA this year. You guys can see what the whole atmosphere is like and I have season tickets up in the bars there at the Ralph so if yall came i could bring yall in as guests so u can check the private side of it out.
i bet you the air conditioning system is top notch.. but the only think im a little weary about.. where is the natural light? green LED will only take you so far.. i hope the dining room has windows so the players bodyclock can adjust so they can get quality night sleep
That's a completely fair reason but for the most part they have practice for like 3 hours a day but in GameDay they are there just a few hours before game time so their body doesn't have to adjust a lot
@@alexandergudajtes2468 yeah but you know.. if they go in there while its light and exit when its dark, without ever seeing a glimpse of the process, that is a little.. that
@@tallesttreeintheforest Yea I get that I've also seen it first hand and they usually spend most of time before games in the dark to adjust to it so it doesn't affect them as much yk
The arena isn't even owned by the college. It was built by Ralph Engelstad and after he died his foundation continues to own it and rents it out to UND for $1 a year. So that wouldn't matter at all.
lol, you're just jealous that UND has more championships and a WAY better arena that seats more fan too. The Gophers also lost to UND the last time you played. I miss the WCHA though, such a good rivalry.

Probably a higher attendance than Coyotes or Panthers games.

The Ralph is so beautiful, amazing game day atmosphere. Just a classy stadium with amazing things to offer

Mostly Granite actually. Although every Lakota Sioux head is Marble, I believe.
As a sens fan, I have heard tell of these facilities. So many of our prospects have gone through there in recent years
It's a joke here with how many of your player went to UND

Coyotes should go play in that college rink.
It seats 11,643. I don't know if the Yotes could fill it.
@@captbloodbeard Max capacity exceeds 12,000.
You have to do another hockey winter trip
just go outside it’s a free cryo chamber
The cryo room is where they warm up when we have those 50 below days
It’s definitely nice seeing the Reno of this
Amazing place!!
Nhl teams have to step their game up😊
Insane
You should check out Umass’ new facility

@@tallesttreeintheforest Good point. But the sun also sets at like 4-5 PM during the middle of the season though. Not sure if that makes a difference.
This is North Dakota, we don't have much sunlight during the winter up here lol
Dressing Down
I live there
OMG U WEARING BILLS SWEATY
You can always afford great digs when you don't have to pay the players lol

Guys the UND will never be as good as the Gophers, everyone knows that for sure. Second rate team.

Nodak has three more championships. Better of everything. Small school, but still out recruits Minnesota every year. Go cry.
8 > 5
Nodak on top
You are correct, the Gophers are a second rate team!!
