Hartford Courant- New renderings give glimpse into bunker suites, concourse improvements planned for $100M XL Center arena renovation
“This will allow us to size the building to what is our sweet spot, which is that 11,000-, 12,000-seat size. We’re not going to build for 4,000 seats that we rarely use.”...." The upper half of the arena will remain much as it is with traditional general admission seating. But for the majority of events it would be closed off, a retractable wall replacing existing curtains. The wall, where advertisements and sponsorships could be projected, could be removed if larger events.....
The project is set to get underway in 2021, and a virtual public hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 5.
