CLEVELAND, Ohio - We're taking a look, level by level, of the renovated Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Today: Huntington Club level.
Level: C - Huntington Club.
What it contains: Portals 40-49, club suites 1-34. Westfield Champions Club, Huntington Legends Club, bridge to Gateway East Garage. The level also is home to the old practice court, which is still used by players of both teams (the Cavs' Cleveland Clinic Courts practice facility is in Independence). And Bridges, a private-event space, can be rented out. This area is so named because of its vantage of many of the bridges in Cleveland.
New: Huntington Legends Club is billed as "dinner and a show." Two tables for four with banquette seating and chairs sit in the outer suite area. Photos of Cavs legends are posted along the walls. A theater-like curtain hangs in the doorway. Enter through the curtain and find four plush chairs resembling first-class airline seats with personal charging outlets on each one. (Ticket packages are sold on membership basis.)
Don't miss: A meeting-area notch in the corridor has a great view of the city (Gateway Plaza and Progressive Field).
Photo opps: In the meeting-area notch hang two beautiful pieces of basketball-themed art - hanging nets on one side face deflated basketballs on the other.
Dining options: Symon Burger Joint is adjacent to the Crown Royal bar.
Architectural/design touches: Concert art lines the walls, and horizontal lit neon strips hang in the rotunda. Some of the ticketed seats in this area are dubbed "Moscow Mule seats," as they resemble the copper cups used for the drink.
Wow factor: Walk along the corridor by the private Westfield Champions Club and … you can keep going. Previously, fans were stopped by the old VIP club and would have to turn back. Now you can do a 360-degree stroll at this level.
Cleveland.com will be delving into all of the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse upgrades this week. The schedule of coverage is below:
