The Food City Center is getting a facelift for next season.
Danny White announced several new upgrades today in a press release.
"We are incredibly proud to have the best fan base in all of sports, and we will always put their experience first. We are fully committed to making continuous improvements," stated White. "The new additions to Food City Center will modernize the arena and significantly enhance the experience for everyone attending our events."
The upcoming renovations at Food City Center will include new video boards, an upgraded sound system, and the addition of a Riverside Club space on the arena's lower level, the release stated.
“Approximately 1,500 seats in this area will now have access to a newly updated space offering various food and beverage options and a club area for socializing before the game or during halftime.”
This summer a new center-hung video board will be installed along with corner boards and LED ribbon.
“The new center-hung video board will feature larger screens on all four sides and an improved bottom ring. Additionally, interior boards will be included for those sitting courtside and in the lower section of the arena to enhance the visibility of live video updates.”
The four corner boards will display live video, score, and stat information.
“The new sound system will feature high-performance speaker arrays to provide an even distribution of sound levels. The new system will also expand the sound coverage in premium suite areas and include new concourse and restroom speakers throughout the venue.”
