The existing telescopic bleacher seating system in the arena will be replaced as it is original to the facility and beyond its useful life. Replacement of the system will allow for better operations and comfort of the fans. To enhance the overall look and feel of the space, the seating bowl will be rotated 90 degrees and configured to have an arena bowl shape with some permanent seating. The concourse level will be expanded to the new telescopic seating creating new opportunities for amenity spaces such as clubs and loges. Chair seating will be provided throughout with exception to the west telescopic seats which will be bleacher seating. Improvements to the court level include removal of the existing 4 lane track, creation of a lower level concourse with storage, and refinishing of the maple flooring at the main court and practice courts. The two existing south stairs and vertical ductwork will be demolished with new ones added to the south corners of the arena. Other improvements include new court video infrastructure, relocation of camera platforms, expansion of the existing fire protection system, additional lighting, modifications to the sound system / loudspeaker, and an amenity space called the "Courtside Corner". Two locker rooms will be added under the north seating area for the Men's and Women's Basketball teams.
