Upgraded security, including a no re-entry policy, new dining options and Club Bell are some of the changes at the Canadian Tire Centre.

CBC Ottawa's Stu Mills toured the venue on Tuesday — and tweeted photos and information along the way.

Other highlights

Club Bell, a new lounge area under construction, will display a Chrysler product -maybe that pickup- in its attic <a href="http://t.co/pUkcdgxKpv">pic.twitter.com/pUkcdgxKpv</a> —@StuMillsCBC

18,694 is the new CTC seating capacity, down from 19,153, once new boxes and display vehicle parking is completed —@StuMillsCBC

These CTC centre improvements and the ~40 bottles of CC visible here set the club back $15 million this year. <a href="http://t.co/u7Q7jc8bFY">pic.twitter.com/u7Q7jc8bFY</a> —@StuMillsCBC
