Questions about Legacy Arena renovations.
I know the outside will get a major face lift but what upgrades are being made inside the arena? I haven't seen any pictures of what that will look like after completion of upgrades.

RE: Questions about Legacy Arena renovations.
Yeah I'm interested in this too since they never released interior renderings. They need to do a total seating replacement, upgrade the sound system, add suites, and get a new video board at a minimum. The concourse actually seems ok so I wouldn't think they would need to spend a lot of money there.

RE: Questions about Legacy Arena renovations.
I remember reading that every seat in the arena would be replaced. Friend of mine works for the company that got the contract for them. I think I also read that some of the seating area would be converted to suites, but I do not recall having seen any renderings. Widening concourses is a must. Last few concerts I attended there, getting around to bathrooms and beer stands was a pain.

Nope. That's not old. It used to be, but it's not any more.

RE: Questions about Legacy Arena renovations.
Protective Stadium site prep and construction costs $174 million. Legacy Arena refurb to cost 2/3 of that for a facility of 1/3 the size. As much as Protective Stadium is going to be a wonderful facility, I think we will be blown away by what gets done and how different the new Legacy Arena will be.

Good way to look at it because I've been curiously concerned about the lack of renderings.
