It seems like every time you go to the Utica Memorial Auditorium, they've done something new to it.

And, this year when Utica Comets fans return to The AUD, it will look significantly different on the outside with additional enhancements inside.

Mark Caswell, the Comets' director of communications, says the makeover you're witnessing now will bring new exterior lighting to the building, which will illuminate the building in different colors depending on the event going on inside. Blue and Green, of course, for Comets games, or blue and orange for Utica college events, etc.

Inside, they're converting one of the concession stands to a barbecue pit and adding another new bar.
