The renovation will add suites and premium seating to the arena, upgrade the ticketing and concession areas, improve the heating and cooling systems and enlarge and update the back-of-house areas, including the loading dock and locker and dressing rooms
The renovation will be done in phases, starting this month with work primarily focused on the northwest corner of the arena near the Free Street entrance.
