What Are Customers Saying?
The Spectrum Center in Charlotte North Carolina is one of the premier destinations for out-of-town tourists and local area residents. One hip-hop fan bought tickets to this concert venue and told us that the arena was clean, the restrooms were well-maintained, though the food was pretty expensive.
- A Hornets season ticket holder, a Michael Jordan fan, criticized recent changes to the fan giveaways saying that they aren't as generous as they used to be. As well, he appreciates the digital check-in- though dislikes having to go through the metal detectors.
- Another Charlotte Hornets fan likes how centrally located the sporting arena is in downtown Charlotte, and says that you can find parking for free on the street or up to $15 at a local parking garage.
- A rap music fan went to the Bruno Mars concert said that the stadium is an excellent venue for watching music performances as well as taking in basketball games. It also functions as a center for family-friendly entertainment with one reviewer saying they took their niece to the circus- though they found the line was way too long and slow moving.
- A rock 'n' roll fan said that the arena is incredibly spacious, but be forewarned that large crowds cause traffic congestion before and after the show.
- A Charlotte Hornets season ticket holder praises the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the arena, but does wish that there was more entertainment provided during game breaks.

- A monster truck fan went to the monster jam event. The arena showcased massive trucks doing flips and wheelies over mounds of dirt. A hockey fan tells us that depending on the event you're going to, the line can get pretty long as security checks bags and waves a metal detecting wand over you.
