Fond memories of childhood games with my beloved Charlotte Hornets at the Independence Arena and Charlotte Coliseum could possibly overshadow this place but they really don't. This arena is a show piece. There are really no bad seats. One of my favorite destinations in the arena is the craft beer spot on the first floor that usually offers several local breweries wares. I haven't been for any events other than Hornets games, but it's always a good time.
