Sioux Falls To Host Three Future NCAA Post-Season Events

Denny Sanford Premier Center

The city of Sioux Falls has been awarded three bids for future championship/regional National Collegiate Athletic Association events.

Two of the spectacles will be at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center, the NCAA DI men’s hockey regional on March 23-25, 2018 and the NCAA DII men’s wrestling championships on March 13-14, 2020.

One event, the NCAA DII women’s volleyball championships on December 10-12, 2020 will be at the Sanford Pentagon.

Sioux Falls is no stranger to the DII men’s wrestling championships, as the PREMIER Center hosted that just last year.

The University of North Dakota and the Sioux Falls Sports Authority will partner together to host the men’s hockey regional in 2018.

Augustana University will also team up with the Sioux Falls Sports Authority – to host the women’s volleyball championship event at the Sanford Pentagon.
