About Hyslop Sports Center
Hyslop Sports Center was a cornerstone of the University of North Dakota’s on-campus athletics complex from its opening in 1951 (originally the UND Fieldhouse) until its demolition began in 2025 to clear land for UND’s STEM Complex. Renamed in 1981, it served as a historic home for UND basketball and volleyball, and later housed athletics offices and the swimming/dive pool. While the venue itself has been demolished, its legacy remains a key part of Grand Forks sports history, and the site continues to be a focal point for community events and university activity. Below you’ll find practical details that were historically relevant for event-goers, plus current nearby lodging and dining options to help you plan a visit to the area.
Location, access, and nearby amenities were important considerations for fans and visitors. The Hyslop Sports Center was located at 2751 2nd Avenue North, Grand Forks, ND 58202—an on-campus facility that offered convenient access via campus parking ramps and on-site lots. Transit to and from the venue was supported by City of Grand Forks CAT (Campus Area Transit) and UND campus shuttles, with ample nearby parking historically available for events (including a campus parking ramp with approximately 1,000 spaces noted in local directions). For travelers, the area features a range of lodging and dining options, including affiliates near the university. While the building has been demolished, the site remains a reference point for UND’s athletic history and the evolving campus landscape.
