Friday night = yes

Saturday night = no.

Didn't some bars in GF pick up internet feeds last season? Maybe they will do the same this year.

I believe Dagwoods bought dataflix and played them. Saturday the Penalty Box bar at the Ralph will show the game. I believe it's $5 to get in.

Excuse my ignorance but where exactly is the Penalty Box?  Is this just the bar at the end of the REA?

That is what they are calling "the bar" that is in the Olympic arena.

September 27, 2004

Starting this hockey season, there will be a new penalty box at the Ralph Engelstad Arena.

The general public will not be allowed in the club lounges that overlook the ice in the upper bowl. Instead REA built a new bar in the arena's Olympic Center.

Both club lounges are only open to Fighting Sioux Club members. Previously on the south bar was reserved for Fighting Sioux Club members, while the north lounge was open to ticket holders over the age of 21.

According to Jane Sykes, Ralph Engelstad Arena marketing coordinator, the decision to build the new bar was made in order to free up space in the existing bars.

The club seat owners felt that the bars were too crowded, Sykes said. She added that the decision to implement this new policy change was made by top-level Fighting Sioux Club members and REA management.

Patrons of the Penalty Box will have to watch the game on televisions, but Sykes said the Penalty Box will feature special events during the games to keep fans entertained while they are away from the action.

"There will be nightly drink specials and entertainment for the non-club members," Sykes said.

New this year are reward cards, which reward frequent drink buyers with free drinks. During games in the Penalty Box, Sykes said REA officials plan on having prize giveaways and drawings.

Cheerleaders for the Minnesota Vikings will be on hand to meet Sioux fans and sign autographs Oct. 22 during the game against Minnesota, Sykes said.

Sykes added that non-members of the Fighting Sioux Club will still be able to enter the bars at the north and south ends of the arena, but they will have to rely on guest passes that will be available for club members to use.

Sykes said the first guest pass will be free for club members, but additional passes are obtainable for a price.

Does anyone know what the penalty box will be offering for the $5 per person? Is the $5 just to get in the door and if so will you be able to buy food and beer?  Will there be seating or is it SRO only?:)

We rec'd a flyer with our season tickets that advertises a "full night of sports". I believe it was for Both nights (Fri and Sat). It included admission to the Penalty Box which will be showing the Sioux/Maine matchup and I think a ticket to the women's volleyball game being played on one side in the Betty and a ticket to the women's hockey game playing on the other side in the main Ralph. Not a bad package. Sounds like you can go from one venue to the other and back and forth the whole night.

Actually, it's $7 and you can watch men's hockey (on TV), women's hockey in the main arena, or volleyball on Friday night, plus $1 food items at the Sioux-per dog?? stand.

the ralphs beer prices are great compared to other places around the nation college or pro!!! 5.50 or 6.00 for a 32 oz, can't get any better than that...22 oz at a dbacks baseball game is 9.50... :);)

Call Tailgaters on Main. MAYBE they'll have an answer for you?

If not, try calling different sports bars, Buff Wild Wings, et. al.
