Bemidji State Beavers Mens Hockey

A very nice little arena with friendly, helpful staff, and respectful fans.

Much better place to go to go to a game than Grand Forks !!!!!! Much better parking !! Much closer to the action! And way more comfortable seating than the upper bowl in forks. And much cheaper tickets also !!! Great shopping in downtown Bemidji as well !

The game was fun even though the Beavers lost. No matter where you sit in the Sanford you have a good seat. The only bad thing about these tickets was the overpriced fees that are added to your tickets. When everything was said & done, the fees added up to the price of another ticket!

This was my first time to the new Beavers Rink! It's awesome! Not as big as others in the WCHA but the fans are knowledgeable, loud, and having a good time in northern Minnesota!

this is the coldest college rink i have ever been in, even colder then some youth rinks! the railing and thick plexiglass obscured our view, it was not shown on the seating chart.

Nice event center and very nice staff. My seats were front row behind the Sioux bench & had to view most of the game on the big screen but was thrilled to be so close to the ice. Ticketmaster has always given me great service! Fun birthday weekend :-) Go Sioux!!!!!!

It was the worst game of hockey I have ever seen played

The venue was great and the games were great my my seats were an obstructed view which wasnt marked as such.

Great venue, great, great game, awesome team (Bemidji State)!!!

Great venue, great event. Bemidji is a really nice town and very friendly.

The two games between the gophers and Beavers were great. The Sanford Center is a top notch facility and the staff could not be better. Even when my daughter dropped her Goldy Gopher under the retractable seating the staff just smiled and went and got it.

The Sanford Center is an excellent venue and the Bemidji fanbase is much more tolerable of visiting fans than most other arenas I have been to in the WCHA. If you are from the cities the drive is well worth it for a weekend series.

Great seats!! Loved the game. Easy location, parking, and amenities at Sanford Center.

My first BSU hockey game and it was great fun! The Sanford Center is amazing and I will definitely attend another game.

Excellent new arena. We came up from Minneapolis and really enjoyed the game. Go Beavers!

Two great nights of awesome hockey. Best play action from both teams that I've seen in a long time. Crowd action with the excitement of the game. Great entertainment!

tHE TICKETS WERE USED BY PEOPLE WHO HAD NOT ATTENDED A BEAVER HOCKEY GAME IN THEIR NEW VENUE. THEY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AND THE BEAVERS WON!

I think the new event center is a very nice building but our seats were about 5 rows up and in the corner which meant we had an obstructed view with the plexiglass. Thank goodness there were some empty seats so we could move and see the whole game. I would not purchase tickets again if I had to sit in those seats. We did watch the girls hockey game earlier in the day and for that event we could move around and see how great most of the seats are. I think this is a good addition to Bemidji and will help to host more events. I hope to have a chance to see another game but I will really be careful about making sure I sit in a different location.

Club seats are great. The venue, Sanford Center, is very nice. Upbeat atmosphere.

Everything was great ... great seats ... great town ... and a Beaver win!

Great place for a game . Not a bad seat in the house. Concession price are HIGH !!! other then that it was a great venue

Go Fighting Sioux, recommend going to Sioux hockey

Overall the BSU vs UND men's hockey game was very fun but the tickets really were too high priced. Not worth the money. We spent $21 at the game on two alcoholic drinks, one candy, and two bottles of water. Plus the tickets were $100. That seems really expensive just for a couple of hours at a college hockey game. It was very fun, don't get me wrong, but it just seemed like a lot of money and I have been told by others that it is less expensive to go to college sports games in other cities.

This was our first Beavers hockey game. It was a great game with lots of action and the Beavers won. The problem was that we couldn't see the game and had to watch most of it on the big screen. We thought we had good seats close to the front. Unfortunately the seats were right behind the bench. The coaches and team stand most the game as expected and it is next to impossible to see anything. I recommend staying away from the first two rows behind the benches if you want to see the game.

Had a great time. Getting tickets was very easy here.

2 very good games even though they lost both of them. Beautiful arena. It is a great place to watch hockey.

The hockey game was great! Sanford Center was very nice, we had good seats and could see all the action. We'll do it again.

Great evening of hockey with BSU and Alaska. Nice friendly environment and these seats were awesome.

This was the first college hockey game I had ever attempted and it was incredible. The whole experience was great. The Sanford Center is an awesome arena. There's not a bad seat in the place.

The game was fun to watch. The Sanford Center was a nice facility but the seats are very small. It was not comfortable because there was very little elbow room. Felt like you were almost in each others laps. We had decided to eat dinner there but when we took our food to our seats you could not even eat because of the space issue.

The Beavers played great against the number 1 ranked Gophers

Great stadium for Hockey fans were fun and respectful

The Sanford Center is a phenomenal venue to watch a hockey game. Every seat has a great view! My two sons had a fantastic time watching the Beavers Vs Gophers, and each of them were sporting competing jerseys. The food was good, the beer selection was excellent as well!

Excellent crowd, excellent facility. Score left something to be desired

Great facility. Great people! Very helpful. I highly recommend. I would recommend this facility to anyone who wants to watch a Hockey game.

The Sanford center is great for watching hockey! Go Gophers!

Go Gophers. Had fun,great facility. Too bad there won't be a good WCHA anymore.

I would highly recomend attending a game at the Sanford Center. Great sight line, not a bad seat in the building. Our seats were great and I will be attending more games at the arena. The Gophers did not play up to their potential but they did win.

Two great games this weekend, Gophers vs. Beavers, in a nice, smaller arena with no bad seats. Seats are comfortable, and sight lines even in row W were great, maybe even better up high out of the way of the glass.

The Sanford Center is a great place for hockey. Had a great time there.

Event manager rude. Bemidji State fans especially the younger kids (played hockey 10 - 12 years old...some of the language out of their mouths was amazing...yet acceptable to their parents.... and you are the one being rude when you said anything to them. Was treated better at Ralph Engelstad Arena with their fans then some of the Bemidji fans.

Sanford Center is a great facility for hockey. New, clean and great! The Beavers are a great team. Our first time attending a Beaver game. Will come again when in Bemidji!! Go BEAVERS!!!!!!

Had a great time. Being opposing team fans, we were traded great.

the bemidji arena is beautiful. our seats were the first row of the upper level at the opposing team blue line, but were not quite high enough to see above the row in front of us or in the one of the corners. being it was the first row, it did have lots of leg room! Next time I would choose a seat a little higher up. Would have been better had the Beavers won!

2 weak goals let in by BSU goaltender. Not a very exciting game.

we enjoyed our our hockey experience at the sanford center. We had good seats. It is such a fun arena. There is always lots of activity going on and something to watch in between periods. It makes for a fun atmosphere. The way the arena is set up you never feel like you are really crowded either so that is a plus. My only complaint would be the cost of the tickets. Would have liked to have attended both nights but the cost kept us away.

These former Division II and III rivals duked it out! The tradition continues in Division I. Good game in a Great Arena.

I had to drive back to the arena, because my tickets were not ready until 1/2 hour before the event. I think the price of ticket handling, the tickets should be ready to be picked up the day of the event.
