Big changes are in the works for the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Centennial Authority, the arena's landlord, is mulling $300 million in enhancements as part of its "Lenovo Center 2.0" initiative. These changes and upgrades will include: a refresh of the arena exterior, with an expanded lobby and new entrances, a beer hall on the south side of the venue, a new team store that will be almost triple the size of "The Eye" now at the arena, added seating capacity and a new Arena Club. Already open is the View Bar on the Lenovo Center's third level and an undisclosed number of private "bunker" suites. The Lenovo Center is the home arena for both the Carolina Hurricanes pro hockey team and N.C. State University's basketball, as well as the Raleigh area's biggest concert venue. Work on the new projects will begin soon after the Hurricanes conclude the 2025-26 NHL season.
