Greater comfort is coming for some Kentucky fans who sit on bleachers in the upper level of Rupp Arena for home games. UK announced Friday that it plans to replace bleachers along both sidelines with chair-back seating in time for the 2019-20 season.
Some UK fans will also have the chance to meet and greet, plus sip adult beverages in three new clubs planned to be built on the west side of Rupp Arena. Except for construction of the clubs beginning in July, fans will not notice any change to Rupp Arena during the upcoming 2018-19 season.
The added comfort will come at a cost.
