Awesome venue for UND Hockey! Hardly a line for bathrooms, concessions easily available - only negative is the parking.

The Ralph is second to NONE! I have yet been to any other venue that can service the ppl as quickly and in a friendly manner. The seating is out of this world and there truly is not a bad seat in this entire arena!

REA is THE BEST place to watch hockey bar none. Everything about this place is absolutely fabulous. Seats comfortable, every seat has a great view, while the food is horribly overpriced (what sports facility isn't) it is at least a good quality. It is just a fun, fun, fun place.

A great hockey experience and such a great school to experience it in! The arena is almost NHL size and has a lot more vendors than most would expect. College hockey is very underrated, but if you can get a ticket to a UND hockey game, it's something that you can't help but enjoy the fast-pace, hard hitting, and unpredictable... More

Great atmosphere for college hockey! I would suggest doing the shuttle parking. Be sure to bring 10 bucks cash to get your car parked. Very convenient.

If you have the opportunity to catch a game in this facility, take it up! You will never see another hockey arena as classy as this one. Beautiful inside as well as out. Lots of memorabilia, a great souvenior shop and lots of eats to choose from. No seat is a bad seat in this "palace on the prairie". Lots... More
