About Robert Ewigleben Ice Arena

Robert Ewigleben Ice Arena is an on-campus, multi-purpose ice arena at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. Part of the Ewigleben Sports Complex, it serves as the home ice for the Ferris State Bulldogs men's hockey team and hosts high school, junior hockey, and community events. The venue is noted for its intimate, three-sided seating arrangement that brings fans close to the action. While a formal seating chart isn’t publicly published, the arena comfortably accommodates roughly 2,493–2,500 spectators depending on configuration.

Whether you’re planning a Bulldogs game night or a community event, we’ve got you covered with practical guidance on parking, transit, and nearby places to stay and eat. Secure your seats and you’ll be good to go for a great night of hockey in Big Rapids.

Directions to the venue, parking details, and local accommodations are all important for a smooth visit. Ferris State manages on-site parking in campus lots adjacent to the Ewigleben Sports Complex, with policies and passes administered by the university. For public transit, The Bulldog Line (Ferris State’s rapid shuttle between Grand Rapids and Big Rapids) helps with longer commutes, along with the Big Rapids DART campus shuttle and other local options.
