Over the past 12-plus months, New Orleans’ NBA franchise has undergone dramatic changes, including the unveiling of a new nickname, colors, logos and uniforms. This summer, it’s time for the team’s home arena to also benefit from a brand-new look.

In Phase II of a two-year renovation project at the Smoothie King Center, the venue will receive a long-awaited, updated color scheme on its exterior.

In addition, construction is under way on a grand entrance that will be completed during this basketball offseason. Other major 2014 summer improvement projects include an expanded team store that will double in size from its previous location; a 2,000-square-foot sports bar on the main concourse above the new entrance; an expanded box office located next to the main entrance; an exterior lighting package; and an LED board above the main entryway.

Adidas Team Store

“It’s going to be almost double in size from what it currently is,” Lang said. “It will greatly expand the merchandise that we carry in the store.”

The store is also undergoing a major makeover. Located near the new main entrance, fans will be able to see the store as they enter the building. The store will feature a glass wall, allowing Adidas to more effectively and visibly display items.
