Posted Feb 13, 2014
Chair backs for everyone! That’s one of the rallying cries behind the newly unveiled plans for a $310 million renovation of Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky. Sure, plenty of other components highlight the renovation project, including a completely new translucent façade, fresh luxury seats, completely moving the adjacent convention center to the west and new lookout areas on the new upper bowl of the 23,000-seat home of the University of Kentucky basketball team.
