The Betty Engelstad Sioux Center is home to UND men's and women's basketball, volleyball, and soccer teams. The Betty, which opened in August 2004, is considered by many as one of the finest facilities in the nation. The atmosphere created by students and fans provides an undeniable home-court advantage. It offers seating for 3,300 fans, including permanent, bleacher seating and a VIP hospitality room. It makes an ideal venue for sporting events, catered events, and smaller concerts and shows.
