Kroenke Sports & Entertainment is investing $135 million to transform Ball Arena, bringing major upgrades to the Avalanche’s longtime home while the organization’s long-discussed practice facility remains a separate question. For nearly a decade, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment has floated the possibility of a dedicated practice facility for the Avalanche. Eight years after that idea first surfaced, Colorado is getting something else instead. KSE announced Friday that it will invest $135 million into a sweeping renovation of Ball Arena, transforming the downtown Denver home of the Avalanche, Nuggets and Mammoth while keeping the building firmly at the center of the organization’s long-term plans. The work will be completed in phases, with the project expected to be finished in time for the 2028-29 seasons. KSE will submit the required Site Development Plan to the City of Denver on Friday. This is a glimpse of what the upgrades could look like. Credit: Colorado AvalancheWhen the work is finished, Ball Arena should look considerably different.
