ASU plans to renovate Wells Fargo Arena and build new hockey venue

Arizona State University unveiled preliminary plans this week for a $160 million renovation of Wells Fargo Arena with an adjacent indoor sports complex to house men's hockey, wrestling and gymnastics.

The plans will be reviewed by the Arizona Board of Regents Business and Finance Committee on Thursday and will still need approval from the board. Construction wouldn't start for another year.

ASU officials say the arena has had only modest improvements since opening 43 years ago. The major renovation will include reconstructing the entire lower bowl to maximize center-court seating and replace retractable seating.

Here are the major highlights

New club, premium seats

The arena's new concourse will have a wider pathway.
