Kohl Center will have a new look this upcoming season

MADISON, Wis. -- The Kohl Center will have a new look this upcoming season.

On Tuesday, Wisconsin Athletics revealed details and renderings for innovative premium seating option for the upcoming 2024-25 season.

In February, the Wisconsin State Building Commission approved the reduction of the Kohl Center ice sheet to NHL dimensions. Prior to this change, the Kohl Center was one of only five NCAA Division I men's hockey arenas with a rink larger than 200-by-92 feet.

The reduction of the ice sheet will create six additional feet of permanent space on each side of the ice sheet at the event level of the Kohl Center.

Among the amenities included with the new seating options are:

• Access to a new premium club space on the event level, the Krantz Club (beginning in Jan, 2025).
• All-inclusive premium food and non-alcoholic beverage
• Full-service cash bar
• Wider, padded premium seating
• Enhanced parking priority

"The Kohl Center is one of the top venues in college athletics and we are adding to its legacy with the recent innovations in the building, including new premium seating options that will provide high-level services and amenities," said UW Director of Athletics Chris McIntosh.

The updates to premium seating are the latest in a number of recent improvements made to the Kohl Center.

• New locker rooms
• Strength and conditioning spaces
• Sports medicine and rehab rooms
