Ball Arena set to undergo $135 million in renovations, including expanded East Atrium
The project adds a larger east atrium, new premium clubs and technology upgrades aimed at easing congestion and reducing wait times, KSE said.
On Friday, September 18, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment announced a $135 million renovation of Ball Arena, the 27-year-old home of the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Mammoth.
KSE Vice Chairman Josh Kroenke stated the arena will serve as the "beating heart" of the company's 55-acre property redevelopment, aiming to modernize the Downtown Denver venue to rival any in its respective leagues.
Plans include a 30,000-square-foot East Atrium expansion, a 34,000-square-foot pedestrian plaza facing Chopper Circle, and three new clubs, alongside technology upgrades designed to reduce wait times for guests.
Construction will occur in phases to minimize fan disruption, with work scheduled to begin in summer 2027 and wrap up in fall 2028, ensuring the venue remains operational throughout.
Prioritizing the arena over the River Mile project, the company's 8-year-old redevelopment proposal, likely extends the life of the nearby Elitch Gardens amusement park.
