The Offseason is Gametime for ANC
For NBA and NHL teams, the season started a few weeks ago. But for ANC, the 2025–26 campaigns began the moment the final buzzer sounded last spring. This summer proved to be one of our busiest and most rewarding yet, with projects at nine different NBA and NHL arenas and practice facilities across North America. From complete venue transformations to critical upgrades and ongoing enhancements, ANC’s unmatched expertise, collaboration, and customer service were on full display.
Three major arena overhauls were completed this season.
At Orlando’s Kia Center – home to the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA), ANC partnered with the City of Orlando, Orlando Venues, and design firm AJP to deliver a massive digital transformation as part of a $226 million upgrade. The in-bowl overhaul includes a new full LED center-hung, a 360° ribbon display, a continuous underbelly ring, and more than 20 vomitory and concourse displays totaling over 15,000 square feet of new digital signage that immerses fans from every angle from the moment they park their car until the reach their seats.
In South Florida, the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers’ Amerant Bank Arena unveiled one of the NHL’s most ambitious technology upgrades. ANC’s design-build team engineered and installed a 27.6-million-pixel center-hung with a 75-foot LED halo, expanded ribbons, and new exterior marquees. ANC was procured to design-build, engineer and install the new hardware and provide content management, gameday operations and long-term support.
Meanwhile in Portland, the Trail Blazers’ Moda Center underwent a major refresh featuring a state-of-the-art 2,092-square-foot center-hung, massive end-zone boards, and over 7,500 square feet of LED across ribbons and stat boards, giving Rip City fans an elevated NBA game-day experience all powered by ANC’s LiveSync operating system.
Enhancements Across the Leagues
ANC also advanced significant projects at Capital One Arena – home of the Washington Capitals and Wizards – for Monumental Sports & Entertainment, enhancing locker rooms, suites, and concourses with next-generation LG displays; continued Scotiabank Arena’s multi-phase reimagination project in Toronto; and completed upgrades at Prudential Center, Rocket Arena, and Xfinity Mobile Arena (formerly Wells Fargo Center). Additionally, the Chicago Blackhawks practice facility will get an upgrade, as Fifth Third Bank Arena adds new LED ribbons and a dual-sided center-hung display before the end of the year.
Whether delivering a complete reimagination or a technical tune-up, ANC continues to set the standard for innovation, partnership, and service—ensuring every fan, in every seat, sees the action in brilliant new ways.
