Spectrum Center - Charlotte, NC

The Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a versatile venue that’s hosted everything from NCAA basketball tournaments and the Democratic National Convention to bull riding and standup comedy. It’s also been the home of the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets since it opened in 2005, and it’s a popular stop for musicians—notable concerts at the center have included Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Carrie Underwood, Dolly Parton, Kanye West, Nickelback and Van Halen.

Situated in central Charlotte not far from the Carolina Panthers’ Bank of America Stadium, the Spectrum Center is easily accessible off of Interstate 277. With thousands of parking spaces available within a 15-minute walk of the Spectrum Center, driving to the stadium is a cinch.
