Bridgestone Arena outlines $650'$750 million renovation plan; owners say users will fund project under 2019 agreement

Bridgestone Arena officials presented a schematic vision on Sept. 25 to renovate and modernize the 30-year-old venue, expand concourses to meet Broadway and Demumbrian, add premium amenities and seats, and replace core systems. Kyle Clayton, identified in the presentation as chief strategy officer for Bridgestone Arena, said the plan is in early schematic design and that the arena intends to fund the work through users and operations rather than seek public debt, citing the 2019 lease and related agreements.
