I don't write angry reviews very often. I have been disappointed, but angry isn't my normal approch. That is why I waited 4 months before writing this review. I went to Time Warner Arena to watch a Bobcats game with a few people. I was last in line to go through the security check point but when I tried to pass they noticed my 2" pocket knife. The security guard was very aggressive about what I considered to be a minor thing.
This wasn't a hunting knife or a machete it was a small pocket knife I use daily in my job. With all of my friends inside I couldn't put it in their car. The security guard told me I should just leave it any place outside, no one will bother it. I wasn't about to leave a knife some place a kid could find it, so I walked back to the parking garage and hid it inside my friend's bumper hoping that no one would find it. I have a permit to carry a handgun on my person in 28 states but can't carry a small pocket knife into Time Warner Arena.
Also as with most places, the food and drinks were stupid expensive. I know that this is pretty common, but gouging is still gouging. I have had a mixed feeling about live sports, but I can say now that my visit to Time Warner Arena has pushed me more into the negative side. If you want to get frisked, pushed around, and pay a 1000% mark up on food then go here. If you want to watch the game, have a beer, and enjoy some time with your friends stay at home.
