We attended a Bemidji State Hockey game with my brother and nephew. Before the game we ate at the restaurant connected to the Sanford Center. It was convenient to park there early and grab a bite to eat and walk through hallways into the arena. The arena is wonderful addition to the Bemidji area. My husband was part of the team building the arena and always likes to point out the extra touches added to the building. The facility is very Minnesota Nice!
