Boo Corrigan joined Carolina Hurricanes GM Don Waddell and the Centennial Authority’s Philip Isley for an announcement this morning that the Canes have agreed to a 20-year lease extension, which also happens to come with $300 million in renovations for PNC Arena.
They haven’t decided on a final redesign for the arena yet, and I’m guessing that’s next on the to-do list.
The new agreement with the Hurricanes also means that they’ll begin to develop some of the land around the arena as well, and yes, this is going to mean parking decks. Corrigan spoke about the decks being “on the PNC Arena side,” as the first phase of development is going to be in that immediate arena vicinity.
