Overview
- The Delta Center's renovation, starting in the 2025 offseason, will create a dual-sport arena optimized for NBA and NHL games over three summers.
- A first-of-its-kind retractable seating system will provide a 12-foot elevation variance for improved sightlines in both hockey and basketball configurations.
- Structural changes include raising the arena floor by two feet, lengthening the bowl by 12 feet at both ends, and increasing hockey seating capacity to 17,000 and basketball to 19,000.
- Additional upgrades include expanded restrooms, new premium spaces, four dehumidifiers for better ice quality, and a 450-stall parking structure.
- The $900 million mixed-use district renovation is funded through a 0.5% downtown sales tax and private investment, with $525 million allocated to Delta Center improvements.
