The arena was built by UND alumnus Ralph Engelstad. The University of North Dakota men's ice hockey are tenants. ==Facility== Ralph Engelstad Arena, which seats 11,643, opened on October 5, 2001 and is located on the UND campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The New Ralph )〕 The REA is home to the UND men's and women's ice hockey teams, and hosts select games for UND men's and women's basketball. The arena also hosts many non-athletic events including concerts and a yearly circus. Called the "Taj Mahal of hockey," the $104 million arena was built with materials that would not usually be found in such a facility.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amsoil Arena Gets Fans' Approval )〕 For instance, the concourses of the REA are covered in granite flooring, each spectator seat is made of Cherry wood and leather upholstery, escalators bring spectators between levels, and full-color LCD displays dot the arena.〔 The REA has been called one of the finest facilities of its kind in the world.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ralph Engelstad Arena )〕 Former NHL hockey player Wayne Gretzky has called the structure "one of the most beautiful buildings we have in North America." The REA complex has evolved to include more than just the main arena. A second Olympic-sized sheet of ice sits adjacent to the main arena. An addition to the main arena, The Betty Engelstad Sioux Center (or simply The Betty) was completed in 2004 and is now the home of UND's basketball and volleyball teams. Although located on the campus of the University of North Dakota the arena and land itself is owned by The Engelstad Family Foundation and rented conditionally to UND each year for $1. This setup was created to give the Engelstad family control and final say regarding the facility. In 2015 the Ralph Engelstad Arena received a certificate of excellence from Trip Advisor for being one of the top rated destinations in America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ralph Engelstad Arena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
