“We’re thrilled to introduce this state-of-the-art amenity for fans visiting Lenovo Center," Fork said in a news release. "Open to all fans in attendance, the View Bar provides a gathering space to grab a drink on the third level without losing sight of the action."
Construction is ongoing for new 300-level amenities, which include a new grab-and-go concession space and a complete refresh of all restrooms.
The View Bar is expected to be open for select concerts and events. It will make its debut for a hockey game with the Carolina Hurricanes host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Feb. 26.
The new View Bar is part of an ongoing $300-million renovation at Lenovo Center.
Basketball capacity is expected to grow by approximately 663 seats to 20,450. Hockey capacity is expected to grow by 694 seats to approximately 19,606. And concerts or touring events would see a jump of more than 700 seats with exact amounts depending on the configuration of the arena. Events that use the entire arena would have 21,266 seats.
Lenovo Center is set to host the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight rounds of the 2028 NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
The $300-million renovation is separate from the planned development of an entertainment district around the arena.
