This morning, the Rupp Arena marketing department invited the media in to check out the new addition to the historic basketball venue.
“This change represents the dawn of a new era for Rupp Arena,” Lexington Center President and CEO Bill Owen said. “Changing from bench seating to chair back seats is a major upgrade for Rupp concerts, family event and UK Basketball fans. The new seats will provide much greater comfort, improved access to seats throughout the event, easier aisle access, more leg room, arm rests and yes, cup holders!
