Ramsey Allen started at Sanford Sports in 2018 and is a lead event specialist. Allen graduated from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, with a bachelor’s degree in sport management and minors in marketing and leadership.

Allen began his career working part-time in youth sports at his local YMCA in Bettendorf, Iowa. He spent his collegiate summers working at a camp in the Black Hills, which encouraged him to move to South Dakota. In 2018, Allen began working at the Sanford Pentagon on their event staff, helping to set up and tear down events.

Allen loves being around sports seven days a week and interacting with the teams and groups that visit the facility. He loves connecting with fans and patrons who step foot on the campus, and he strives to be personable with each person he meets. He says there is something to look forward to each day he comes to work, and he enjoys the surprises that come with new visitors.

Allen considers himself a storyteller and enjoys hearing the stories of the patrons he meets while learning how they discovered the Sanford Sports Complex. He says seeing the smiles and hearing the praise of fans as they enter the Heritage Court Arena is an amazing feeling.
