The Nick Smith Centre will be taking on a different look, once renovation initiatives a completed.
It’s a 7.1 million dollar job to upgrade the facility, which was initially built back in 1977.
Part of the cost recovery will come in the form of sponsorship opportunities- everything from scoreboard clocks, the rink boards- even seating sections.
With the approval of Town Council November 12th, you can use the approved list of sponsorships as the perfect gift for that hard-to-buy-for person.
A summary list includes: Scoreboards (2 available), Changerooms (10 available), Newly constructed meeting rooms (3 available), Newly constructed mezzanine viewing area (1 available) and Arena Seats (1070 available).
Dealing specifically with seats- a location can be named after you, but it is not reserved for you to occupy, according to Recreation Director Graeme Ivory.
Ivory says the seats would be made available in an organized fashion, according to a seating plan.
Of the 1070 seats available, 190 of them are in the Glenn Arthur Arena.
Those interested should check the Town of Arnprior website to see what they can add to their Christmas list.
Ivory indicates the seats would be marketed through EventBrite at 500 dollars per seat.
