The Carolina Hurricanes and N.C. State men's basketball team will play their home games at the newly named Lenovo Center.

The Centennial Authority, the appointed body responsible for overseeing the arena, approved the 10-year naming-rights contract for the Lenovo Center on Thursday. The agreement will begin in September and run through the 2033-34 NHL season.

The building previously was named the PNC Arena, RBC Center and the Raleigh Entertainment and Sports Arena.

"This is an exciting day for Raleigh, Wake County, and the whole state of North Carolina," said Philip Isley, chairman of the Centennial Authority.

"This partnership is about more than just re-naming the arena. Lenovo will play a vital role integrating technology into our upcoming arena renovations and enhancements. Lenovo has deep roots in North Carolina, and we're thrilled that they are strengthening those roots with this naming rights agreement."
