BIZJOURNAL: U.S. Bank Arena plans huge renovation
The owners of U.S. Bank Arena are planning a huge renovation that will expand the arenaâÂÂs capacity and premium seating while tying it in to the riverfront and the Banks.
The renovation involves increasing capacity to 18,500 from about 18,000 it can hold for concerts now. The key is that it would have up to 1,750 club seats, far more than it has now. It will also add a new suite level closer to the stage. That will create space for 40 to 60 suites. And it could add more suites on other levels in the future, the owners said in a news release. ThatâÂÂs a big deal. Cincinnati lost out on its bid to host the 2016 Republican National Convention, and the need for more suites was a key reason for that.
Nederlander and AEG didnâÂÂt say how much they expect to spend on the renovation of the privately owned arena or what the timeline for the project could be.
