TheSpectrum Center is an indoorarena inCharlotte, North Carolina , United States. Located inUptown , it is owned by the city of Charlotte and operated by its main tenant, theCharlotte Hornets of theNational Basketball Association (NBA). The arena seats 19,077 for NBA games, but can be expanded to 20,200 forcollege basketball games.
The arena opened in October 2005 asCharlotte Bobcats Arena . The name was changed toTime Warner Cable Arena when the naming rights were purchased in 2008.[ 5] Charter Communications purchasedTime Warner Cable in 2016, the name was again changed to reflect theSpectrum trade name.
The arena was originally intended to host the original Hornets franchise in the early 2000s. The Hornets' arena,Charlotte Coliseum , was considered outdated despite being only 13 years old, primarily owing to the arena only containing eightluxury suites , whereas the Palace of Auburn Hills, which opened the same year as the Coliseum, had 180.
In 2001, a non-binding public referendum for an arts package, which included money to build the new uptown arena, was placed on the ballot for voters; it was placed in order to demonstrate what was believed to be widespread public support for new arena construction. Polls showed the referendum on its way to passage until then-mayorPat McCrory vetoed aliving wage ordinance just days before the referendum. As a result, Helping Empower Local People, a grass-roots organization supporting a living wage, launched a campaign to oppose the arena, arguing that it was immoral for the city to build a new arena when city workers didn't earn enough to make a living.[ 6]
City leaders then devised a way to build a new arena that did not require voter support, but let it be known that they wouldn't consider building it unless then-Hornets' ownerGeorge Shinn sold the team. While even the NBA acknowledged that Shinn had alienated fans, NBA officials felt such a statement would anger other team owners.[ 7] New Orleans . However, the league promised that the city would get a new team—which became the Bobcats—as part of the deal. The total cost of the arena to Charlotte and Mecklenburg County was not known, but estimated at $260 million. The construction was approved by the city council, which did not opt to present another referendum to the public.
The arena opened as the Charlotte Bobcats Arena on October 21, 2005, costing $265 million. Architects hoped the building would bring the city together, as its location and large outdoor plaza, among other features, would suggest.[ 8] [ 9] $ 15,000 fee toCharlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for graduation ceremonies held at the building. The fee was eventually waived following media attention from a local newspaper. Many high schools in the area moved graduations toBojangles' Coliseum .[citation needed
As part of the deal, TWC shuttered its poorly-performingregional sports network C-SET (which was established to serve as the Bobcats' rightsholder) and allowed the team to negotiate a new deal withFox Sports South to ensure wider distribution of its games.[ 10] [ 11] Charter Communications ' purchase of TWC, the arena was renamed as the Spectrum Center, in accordance with Charter's trade name for its cable services.[ 12]
In September 2014, the Charlotte city council agreed to give the Hornets $34 million for arena renovations in preparation for the2017 NBA All-Star Game .[ 13] HB2 bill , but the Spectrum Center did host the2019 NBA All-Star Game to make up for it.)
On January 24, 2015, the Hornets announced and unveiled images of a new scoreboard to be installed in summer 2016, costing $7 million. The board's screens measure out at 25' high by 42' wide and 18' high by 31' wide, approximately, making it almost twice the size of the original board and among the NBA's largest. The screens are able to handle 1080p resolution, something unique to the NBA. Two smaller "underbelly" screens would also be included. In addition, the scoreboard would be able to change colors and have a visible 'hive' motif built-in throughout its design. It was also announced that four retractable auxiliary scoreboards will be installed in the corners of the upper level and finally, 360° ribbon boards are scheduled to be installed as well. Construction was completed by the start of the 2016–17 NBA season. Also announced were plans for the renovation of the visitors locker room, suites, and other rooms.[ 14] [ 15]
The city proposed a $245 million renovation plan for both the arena and the area around it in early 2022. It included various internal upgrades to the arena such as new HVAC units, and the possibility of an outdoor space for entertainment similar to others found at NBA arenas. The biggest addition would be a separate new practice facility located across the street from the arena. In addition, the cost would also cover upgrades to the existing transit station where the new facility would be.[ 16] [ 17]
As North Carolina is a hotbed forcollege basketball thanks to constant success among its major universities, it was expected that the arena would host manyNCAA basketball games, and that expectation was correct. Notable NCAA basketball games the Spectrum Center has hosted to date include:
On January 27, 2018, the arena hosted its firstUFC event forUFC on Fox: Jacaré vs. Brunson 2 [ 19] UFC on ABC: Rozenstruik vs. Almeida [ 20]
In 2012, the Spectrum Center hosted theDemocratic National Convention .[ 21] [ 22] 2017 NBA All-Star Game ,[ 23] [ 24] North Carolina 'sPublic Facilities Privacy & Security Act signed by then-GovernorPat McCrory .[ 25] [ 26] North Carolina State Legislature and currentGovernor Roy Cooper made changes to the act that were satisfactory to the league. On May 24, 2017, Charlotte and the arena were officially announced as hosts of the2019 NBA All-Star Game .[ 27] 2020 Republican National Convention , but due to theCOVID-19 pandemic the event was scaled back with Day 1 events taking place at theCharlotte Convention Center and the remainder of the convention being held virtually.
The Spectrum Center has had two other permanent tenants besides the Hornets.
TheCharlotte Checkers of theECHL vacated historicBojangles' Coliseum to play in the new arena in fall 2005. When the ECHL Checkers gave way to anAmerican Hockey League teamwith the same name , they remained at the arena. Although primarily built for basketball, the arena can accommodate an NHL-sized ice hockey rink. The seating capacity for hockey was 14,100 in an asymmetrical seating arrangement, with much of the upper level curtained off. This resulted in many seats with poor sightlines; over 4,000 seats in the hockey configuration had obstructed views. Primarily because of those factors, on December 16, 2014, it was announced the Checkers would move back to Bojangles' Coliseum starting with the 2015–16 AHL season.[ 28]
TheWNBA 'sCharlotte Sting moved with the then-Bobcats to the arena in 2005, becoming the building's third permanent tenant. However, they only played one season at their new home in 2006 before folding in early 2007. This was due to low attendance and a lack of on-court success.[ 29]
The arena is used for more than just sporting events. Musical acts, family productions and other events including concerts, circuses, and professional wrestling all perform there.
