The defending Stanley Cup champions return to Lenovo Center to face the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.
Outside the arena ahead of the game, fans lined up for photos with the Stanley Cup. Inside, many were focused on renovations that include new lower-bowl seating, wider aisles, upgraded restrooms and expanded family amenities.
The changes have also led to some season ticket holders being relocated.
"Last year I was 129. This year I moved to the other end of the stadium to 110," said season ticket holder Frank Amato.
The renovation project, dubbed "Lenovo Center 2.0," includes a second grab-and-go concession area, additional LED lighting in portions of the lower bowl and two premium offerings debuting this season, the Lenovo Legend Club and Bunker Suites.
The Legend Club features a full-service bar, dining options and lounge-style seating, while the Bunker Suites offer private viewing areas with catered food and drinks.
A second grab-and-go concession area has been added for this season at the Lenovo Center."Very cool," fan Anna Bose said after touring the new spaces.
Amato agreed. "Wow! Very cool!"
Not every fan was sold on the premium experience.
"I want to be next to people and screaming with them, waving our towels and all of that," said season ticket holder Sue Bohnsack. "To me, if you're using the Bunker, you might as well stay home."
The new Legends Club.Bohnsack said she was pleased to see long-overdue improvements to the arena's seating.
"Those seats needed to be replaced," Bohnsack said. "After all those years, I was so glad they finally did it."
Team officials say more upgrades are on the way, including a year-round beer hall and improved entrances outside the venue.
For fans like Bose, the renovations build on what was already one of the NHL's strongest game-day atmospheres.
"I think we have one of the best experiences," she said. "Just doing things that can bring community together and bring us as fans together is what I think could elevate the experience even more."
The Hurricanes host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night for their first home preseason game. The team's regular-season home opener, which will include the raising of the Stanley Cup championship banner, is scheduled for Sept. 29, also against the Panthers.
