Bison Sports Arena

Bison Sports Arena was a 5,830^[1] seat multi-purpose arena in Fargo, North Dakota. It was built in 1970 and was home to the North Dakota State University Bison basketball and wrestling team through the 2013 season. The Bison Sports Arena is currently under an extensive remodel, which will nearly double the size. It will be renamed the Sanford Health Athletic Complex and the basketball arena will be renamed The Scheels Center. It is scheduled to reopen under the new name for the 2016 season.

Fundraising was launched as part of the Edge Campaign to privately raise money for the extension and renovation of the Bison Sports Arena. On October 11, 2013, the NDSU Foundation voted unanimously to back the project up to 41 million, pending legislative approval. On November 23, 2013, the State Board Of Higher Education unanimously approved the project. On December 11, 2013 the project was unanimously approved and construction could begin in 2014.

The renovation will include:

Scheels Center basketball arena
Shelly Ellig indoor track and field facility (completed)
14,500 sq. ft. basketball training facility
15,000 sq. ft. performance training center
2,000 sq. ft. Hall of Fame display
