DULUTH, Ga. (Sept. 3, 2026) – Gas South Arena hosted a groundbreaking event to kick off an approximately $175 million investment in the arena and surrounding Gas South District campus on the grounds of the Arena this morning (Sept. 3). The project is expected to be finished by early 2028.
The highlights of this project include a new 1,000-space parking deck, a completely reimagined premium experience that includes new loge seating, private suites, a premium club featuring Personal Seat Licenses (PSLs), a one-time fee that is paid to give a sports fan the exclusive right to buy season tickets for a specific seat in a stadium.
“We are excited about this project and what it will mean for everyone who visits Gas South Arena,” Gas South District President & Chief Executive Officer Stan Hall said. “At the heart of these improvements is our commitment to making the guest experience better, from accessibility and arrival to the services patrons receive once they walk through our doors. We have always taken great pride in how we serve our guests, and this project gives us even more opportunities to create an experience that keeps people coming back.”
Leaders from Gwinnett County Commissioners and Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau will attend the event.
The project will also provide the Arena with:
- An expanded premium hospitality spaces with custom bars, upscale food and beverage offerings, and exclusive gathering areas.
- New premium seating options designed to provide greater comfort, flexibility, and unique viewing experiences.
- Modernized digital signage featuring larger, high-definition displays that will help create a more vibrant atmosphere and enhance the fan experience before, during, and after events.
- Enhanced concession experiences through modern service concepts and technology designed to reduce wait times, improve convenience, and create a more seamless guest experience.
“What excites me most is how many different areas of the arena and our campus will be impacted,” Hall said. “Our team took a thoughtful look at the entire guest experience and prioritized the areas that will make the greatest difference, starting with a new parking deck that will improve accessibility and make arriving on campus easier. The expanded arena entrance will provide a more welcoming and efficient experience from the moment guests arrive. We have a great team that takes tremendous pride in providing exceptional service, and these technology and infrastructure improvements will give them even more tools to do that while positioning Gas South Arena to continue attracting premier concerts, sporting events and entertainment for years to come.”
