The Charlotte Hornets deliver a high-energy NBA experience in the heart of Uptown—fast breaks, momentum-shifting threes, and a game-night presentation that keeps the building buzzing from warmups to the final buzzer. Whether you’re a longtime fan, visiting Charlotte for the weekend, or simply looking for an unforgettable night out, a Hornets game is the kind of live event that feels bigger, louder, and more exciting in person than it ever does on a screen.
The Hornets play at Spectrum Center, located right in the center of Uptown Charlotte, surrounded by restaurants, bars, hotels, and nightlife—meaning your entire evening can happen within a few walkable blocks. Spectrum Center is bordered by Trade Street, Fifth Street, Caldwell Street, and Charlotte’s LYNX Light Rail line, and it sits directly across from the Charlotte Transportation Center, making it especially convenient on game nights.
If you’ve been waiting for the right matchup, the right date, or the right price—this is your sign to go. Popular opponents, weekend games, and special theme nights can tighten inventory quickly, and the best “view + value” combinations often disappear first. When you’re ready to secure your seats, Box Office Ticket Sales makes it easy to browse Charlotte Hornets tickets, compare seating options, and lock in verified seats with confidence. Browse tickets now—because once the best sections are gone, they’re gone.
Spectrum Center is designed to keep fans engaged, with strong sightlines and a lively lower-bowl atmosphere, but your seat selection can significantly affect your experience. Some fans want to be close enough to feel the speed of the game; others prefer a midcourt angle where you can see plays develop; and plenty of groups prioritize value while still being part of the crowd noise.
Common seating types you'll find for Hornets games
Picking the right view (quick tips)
When you shop on Box Office Ticket Sales, use the interactive map to compare sections and pricing in real time. As a general approach:
And if you’re buying multiple seats together, don't wait too long—group inventory is often the first to shrink. If you spot the right row at the right price on Box Office Ticket Sales, it’s smart to secure your seats now.
Spectrum Center’s Uptown location is a major advantage on game nights, mainly because transit options surround it.
Parking
Driving into Uptown is doable, but event traffic can build quickly near tip-off. Spectrum Center’s official directions page provides the venue address and notes the arena’s central Uptown location.
Plan like a pro: arrive early enough to park, walk, and enter without rushing—especially for weekend games or high-demand opponents.
Public transit (LYNX Light Rail + buses)
Spectrum Center is bordered by Charlotte's LYNX Light Rail and sits directly across Trade Street from the Charlotte Transportation Center, the main access point for CATS bus services.
The venue also lists multiple entry options for general admission guests, including the Belk Light Rail Entrance—a nice bonus if you're arriving by rail.
If you want to skip parking stress altogether, transit is often the most convenient option.
Rideshare & drop-off
Rideshare is a great option if you’d rather avoid garages and postgame traffic. The main thing to remember: pickup demand spikes after the final buzzer, so consider walking a short distance from the busiest curb area to speed up your pickup.
Getting there early isn’t just “being responsible”—it’s a real upgrade to your night.
Bonus tip for groups: choose a meeting point outside the arena (or a specific entrance, such as the Trade Street Entrance or the Belk Light Rail Entrance) so no one gets lost in the crowd.
Venue rules can change, so it’s always smart to check official policies on the day of your event—especially if you’re bringing a bag.
Bag policies
Spectrum Center strongly discourages guests from bringing bags. If a bag is necessary, the venue permits small bags, clutches, crossbodies, and wristlets that do not exceed 5 in x 7 in x 1.5 in.
If you want the fastest entry experience, go as light as possible: phone, keys, wallet—and you’re done.
Prohibited items
Spectrum Center uses security screening technology to streamline entry, but items are still subject to inspection and venue restrictions.
If you’re unsure about a specific item, the safest move is to leave it at home rather than risk being turned away at the door.
Re-entry policy
Re-entry rules can vary by event. For maximum accuracy, review the arena’s official guest guidance before you go.
Service animals and animals in general
Accessibility guidance and policies are typically covered in venue rules. If you have questions or need an accommodation plan, checking official venue resources ahead of time is the best way to avoid event-day surprises.
