Mohegan Sun Arena is getting a $30 million renovation. Here's what it means for this winter

Mohegan Sun Arena, a 10,000-seat venue in Uncasville, will undergo a $30 million renovation during much of winter, with work planned from mid-December to mid-February. Arena executives say there will be no events of any kind during that two-month window. The upgrade includes all-new seating, the first phase of restroom improvements, changes to how food and drinks are served in the concourse, elevator upgrades, and a new grill and kitchen to expand dining. A concession update will feature “Just Walk Out” technology using cards and cameras, similar to TD Garden in Boston. The arena is set to reopen Feb. 28 with a Breaking Benjamin concert.
