The future of PNC Arena could soon take a new direction.
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — PNC Arena’s planned renovations are still missing a key player.
About a month ago, PNC’s operating group, the Centennial Authority, severed ties with the architect, who had been planning to renovate the event center for years. According to Centennial Authority, this decision will not slow down renovation plans; rather, it will open the door for new ideas to be heard.
The Centennial Authority is interviewing a new design team. The group will discuss design plans for the PNC renovation at Thursday’s meeting.
The board hopes to add at least 100,000 square feet, a dedicated tailgate area, more clubbing areas and new food and beverage options.
The project, which plans to raise the height of PNC Arena and the surrounding area, is expected to bring in $3.1 million in revenue.
Construction is expected to begin next summer and take three years to complete.
