Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive

Transit & the journey home
Scheels Arena is at 5225 31st Avenue South, Fargo, ND 58104. The complete owner parking plan distinguishes public areas from suite/VIP, accessible, employee and adjacent Family Wellness spaces.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking
Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Usually manageable
- What to do
- Use the owner plan’s green public areas, yellow accessible area and separate suite/VIP colors. Lots typically open two hours before events. Contact 701-356-7656 for accessible arrival questions and follow posted signs for the event.
- Best option
- Parking is free for Fargo Force games and most concerts/events under the current owner policy. Specialty-event fees should be advertised in advance. Check the actual event; suite and VIP areas still require their designated pass.
- Avoid
- Do not use the neighboring Family Wellness or employee areas as event parking just because they appear on the diagram. A standard admission ticket does not authorize suite/VIP parking; confirm a specialty-event fee before arrival.

Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere
Payment
Scheels Arena is cashless at its box office, concessions, bars and Force Store. The owner lists cash exceptions for 50/50, chuck-a-puck and some third-party vendors. Bring a card and check the specific vendor rather than assuming every purchase uses one payment method.
Water & drinks
The owner’s permitted-items graphic allows clear, empty water bottles. Outside food, filled beverages and non-clear water bottles are prohibited; check the actual event for an additional restriction. A nursing room with changing facilities is in the upper lobby.
The experience
- Best for: Compare Fargo Force hockey, reserved-floor concerts and GA-floor concerts at Scheels Arena using their separate complete charts. Club row, suites and the loft require the right ticket; a general architectural plan does not grant access to every adjoining room.
- Watch out for: Scheels’ permitted-items graphic allows clear bags but gives no separate maximum while banning bags over 5 × 7.5 inches. Confirm an oversized clear bag before arrival; clear empty water bottles have a specific exception. Cashless sales have limited vendor exceptions.
Why It Works
- ✓Fargo Force games - no video or professional cameras are allowed. Other events will vary. Please contact the Box Office for further details. No bottles, cans, coolers, pets, lawn furniture, fireworks, umbrellas, weapons, smoking, or outside food/beverage are allowed.
- ✓Accessible seating is available.
