Charlotte Hornets History

The original Charlotte Hornets franchise joined the NBA in 1988 and, thanks to players such as Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning and Kendall Gill (and later, Glen Rice, Anthony Mason and Jamal Mashburn), enjoyed substantial success in the 1990s, starting with the 1992–93 season. Owner George Shinn moved the franchise to New Orleans in 2002.

But the NBA returned to Charlotte for the 2004–05 season with the expansion Bobcats, led by owner Robert L. Johnson, the first African-American majority owner of a team in one of the four major sports. In 2010, Michael Jordan took over majority ownership of the franchise, and in 2014, Jordan's team re-adopted the Charlotte Hornets name after the previous New Orleans Hornets became the Pelicans.

During the 2017–18 season, four-time All-Star Kemba Walker became Charlotte's all-time leading scorer, surpassing original Hornet Dell Curry.

    Awesome game

    by Cyndi on 3/13/24Spectrum Center - Charlotte

    It was a lot of fun being at the 'BeeHive"to watch and celebrate the Hornet's win against New Jersey. The arena is of great size such that even when you are in the higher seats you are able to enjoy the game experience. The atmosphere was enjoyable for my family of 4. I highly recommend attending at least one game.

    Good game, Loud, Concessions need better planning

    by Experienced event attendee on 3/12/24Spectrum Center - Charlotte

    Parking was easy with a 12 deck garage across the street. Entering was a breeze. Seats were easy to find. The game was good. The audio though is loud and their on purpose echoing, double echos so it sounds like a bunch of loud noise. Concession Menu boards have tiny lettering..needs a bigger font with rolling slides that have pictures This building has little to zero information on Concessions food ingredients. If you have a gluten allergy, good luck, vegetarian, good luck.. We walked both levels and asked the guest experience counters, they gave us a 6 week old screenshot of a text that said…we have salads and maybe gluten free buns here and here. Nope, no one had it. They had 6 weeks from that original text to provide their staff with a list of solutions…nope. That turned the event to a near zero for the member of our group with an allergy. It’s not hard to accommodate vegetarian or gluten free in concessions food. I got cold fries. The burger was alright. Big money for a souvenir cup, but no refills. Time to look for a new F&B partner. One who knows how to plan a menu. Their provider services many venues in this region, they should be better. I’m not a grumpy spectator, I worked in 3 NHL Arenas, 2 as Concessions Manager, a football stadium, 2 ballparks and 3 mid size arenas. I speak from knowledge and experience. Plan ahead, maybe eat elsewhere before you go, at lease until they catch on and make it better.

    Impressive

    by Jtdisneymom on 3/4/24Spectrum Center - Charlotte

    Friendly staff upon entry. Super clean facilities…the bathroom attendant was working proactively each time I went in. The game itself was fun with giveaways and entertainment throughout . It never disappoints. Food was delicious and easy to order (despite being very expensive). We highly recommend.

    Hornets Have Given Up

    by Daddio on 3/3/24Spectrum Center - Charlotte

    Aside from everything costing an arm and a leg it was a lackluster game. My son is a Bucks fan which is the only reason we went to the game.

    Had a great time

    by Jordan and Will on 2/8/24Spectrum Center - Charlotte

    This arena is just too steep and not friendly for folks that are even partially mobility restricted. Our seats were on the very top row. The climb up is hard for folks trying to carry concessions, and very challenging for those that have even mild mobility problems. The coliseum on Tyvola road was much nicer for spectators. I do like having the arena in the central business district, but the darn thing needs to be flattened out. We attend multiple events a year here, but we enjoy the arenas in other communities better. Food choices are great, service at some stands is weak, they run out of pretzels and fries too fast, especially during half time. The food itself is surprisingly good. All of the staff, including the ushers, the security, everybody is just as nice and welcoming as can be.
