The Pittsburgh Penguins are giving PPG Paints Arena a facelift with some major upgrades to the in-game experience.

PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced plans for massive upgrades coming to PPG Paints Arena.

According to the Penguins, in partnership with OVG360 management, the plans will cost over $30 million and be highlighted with the addition of a new scoreboard.

The new scoreboard will be about twice the size of the current scoreboard and will be partnered with new LED ribbon boards, an updated sound system, and other behind the scenes upgrades.

“We are committed to maintaining PPG Paints Arena as a world-class destination not only for Penguins hockey, but for concerts and marquee events,” Penguins President of Business Operations, Kevin Acklin said. “We are investing millions to replace our entire in-game entertainment technology, as well as building exciting new premium spaces, to offer immersive experiences for our fans and guests that will be truly unique to our Pittsburgh market.”

Along with the scoreboard and technology upgrades, there will be new suites added in the lower bowl around the Penguins’ runway.

Other VIP sections and inclusive club areas will also be added to underutilized space in the arena.

Construction is set to begin during the Penguins’ offseason and fans will get their first look at the upgrades starting in the 2023-24 season.
