Welcome to the VFW Sports Center in Bismarck, North Dakota—a multi‑purpose ice arena complex operated by the Bismarck Parks & Recreation District. Since opening in 1986 as All-Seasons Sports Center, the facility has grown into a key hub for local hockey, skating, curling, and community events. A 2024 expansion added a third rink and renamed the spaces to Rink 2 and the third sheet, keeping the original rink as Rink 1 and expanding seating and parking to accommodate more fans and participants. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options so you can secure your seats and plans with ease.

Address: 1200 N. Washington St, Bismarck, ND 58501. The center is home to the Bismarck Bobcats (NAHL) and hosts high school hockey, public skating sessions, curling, and figure skating throughout the year.

Whether you’re attending a game, a practice, or a community event, you’ll find a straightforward, reliable ticketing and visit experience with us—like having a friend in your corner who can help you get there.

Parking has expanded alongside the 2024 expansion, and on-site parking is designed to handle larger crowds for events and tournaments. Bis-Man Transit serves the venue for convenient public transportation access. For those traveling from out of town, nearby hotels offer comfortable stays within a short drive or ride share from the arena. We highlight affiliate partner recommendations for hotels and dining to help you plan a smooth trip around your event or game at the VFW Sports Center.
