DAHLONEGA – University of North Georgia Athletics and Dahlonega-based Furni, Inc. have entered a multi-year transformative partnership that enhances the premium space offerings at home Nighthawk basketball games in the UNG Convocation Center. The upgraded Furni Champions Club will provide Nighthawk fans with premium amenities in a new suite seating configuration and elevated game day experience for basketball games in Lynn Cottrell Arena.
The Furni Champions Club is a premium elevated seating area along the arena's north baseline and is perfect for family, alumni, business and other gatherings with features of the experience including dedicated food service, beer & wine sales, exclusive arena access and reserved parking.
Furni, Inc. is redefining the commercial furniture and workspace design industry with innovative, end-to-end involvement, ensuring exceptional project management and unparalleled client experiences. Furni, Inc. offers workspace design, project management, graphic & branding solutions and installation and services clients such as Chick-fil-a, Marriott, Hanger Clinics and the U.S. Army.
UNG Director of Athletics Mary Rob Plunkett stated, "The Furni Champions Club is a fitting recognition of Furni, Inc.'s incredible support and partnership with Nighthawk Athletics.

With Furni's contributions, we look forward to building on this success."
The Champions Club will be in place for the 2024-25 basketball season, with the official unveiling of the enhanced offering scheduled for the Saturday, Jan. 4 Peach Belt Conference doubleheader against Flagler.
"We're thrilled to partner with Nighthawk Athletics to bring the Furni Champions Club to life in the UNG Convocation Center," stated Furni's CEO Cody Fleming.
