Time Warner Cable Arena, is an entertainment and sports venue, located in center city Charlotte, North Carolina. Its primary use is as the home court of the Charlotte Bobcats of the NBA. It made its grand opening in October 2005 as the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, with a concert by The Rolling Stones and hosted its first Bobcats game on November 5, 2005. The arena's center-hung Daktronics video screen, known as "Bobcats TV," measures 16 feet by 28 feet--the largest of any indoor arena. The arena is owned by the city of Charlotte, and operated by the Bobcats. On April 8, 2008, the Bobcats announced a naming rights deal with Time Warner Cable, the area's largest cable television provider, to rename the arena. As part of the deal, the Bobcats ended a somewhat restrictive deal that kept them off satellite and regional cable television. The change became effective immediately, with printed tickets for the Bobcats' April 8, 2008 game against the Minnesota Timberwolves reflecting the arena's new name and the game airing on FSN South. The arena seats 19,077 for most NBA games, but can be expanded to seat up to 20,200 for college basketball games. The arena also serves as home to the Charlotte Checkers, an ice hockey team that plays in the American Hockey League. When the Checkers play there, capacity is reduced to 14,100. Wikipedia [ - ]
