As Scotiabank Arena approaches its 25th anniversary in February, the downtown venue is undergoing renovations worth more than $350 million.
The ongoing "Scotiabank Arena Venue Reimagination" project ranges from new or upgraded premium areas to revamped, enlarged concourses that use cutting-edge technology to accelerate food and drink purchases or just add to the decor.Most of the renovations already completed are on the 200 suites level, which means you have to dig deep into your pockets to see them.
Phase 2 will also feature "Grab and Go" self-checkout concession stands. And there will still be traditional concession stops — about one quarter of those on offer — for those who want to deal with a human. "We've learned over 25 years that we've got more interior space in the washroom than we need," Eaves explained.
Of the rest, some 15-16 were converted into the Mastercard Lounge, in the southwest corner of the arena. The members-only area has 205 dedicated theatre-style seats, with a dining room attached. "The objective was for the storytelling, particularly the original art, to be as original and diverse as possible," said Eaves.
