"Using the existing structure, the interior of the arena will be demolished and reimagined. The competition court will be centered in the arena, surrounded by bowl seating for up to 2,750 fans. Loge seating will be added on the concourse level to further diversify premium seating options, and the bowl will be overlooked by a premium suite level to enable Furman to drive revenue and offer the elevated entertainment opportunity our top donors and partners expect. In addition, new courtside seating and a private VIP lounge will provide an exclusive experience for our top supporters. A 360-degree concourse will feature improved concessions, a hospitality deck, and a student lounge - all with sightlines that keep fans in the game at all times."
does that mean the bowl seating is 2750 but then premium and courtside seating is extra?
Probably not courtside, courtside is part of the bowl, but if your asking about suites and loge seating maybe, not sure..................
from the pictures and design drawings looks like there will be a private lunge area with a glass viewing area to see the players as they walk from lockers to the courts. Much like you see in pro arenas. very cool. Looks like its at the far end of the courts by the locker room side
also think the right side of the court will be retractable seats for concert/graduation configuration
This the lounge you're talking about?

Practice facility:
For Phase III really love all the glass windows/doors that look into the practice facility, very nice layout!

Maybe not on the student lounge. They will stay there instead of watching the game. Should close it at tipoff.

I get the sentiment, but I also think its good to give the students more reasons to want to come to the arena, as long as our team is good they will want to watch the games...................

anything with "students" + "lounge" is a great idea.
BTW, notice the renderings seem to have drinks as a prominent feature (full glasses on tables, displays, etc)
Coincidence...?? hmmmm JD did say Tim needed to be a revenue generator

There are so many differences between the High Point Arena and the figures for new Timmons, I’m not sure the lighting can even be similar. Ceiling of new T is flat and low. No central ceiling scoreboard or banner style scoreboards above the lower bowl. Maybe artist rendering is incomplete but I’m not wild about only big boards in end zone areas (more like football). Time will tell.
