Charlotte Arena Living Up To Economic Impact Expectations

November 3rd, 2006

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte Bobcats Arena has fulfilled its promise, according to city leaders. Since its first event last October – a sold-out Rolling Stones concert – the arena has hosted 170 events, 20 more than the 150 predicted.

The Ellerbe Becket-designed arena is home to the NBA Charlotte Bobcats, minor league hockey and myriad concerts and family shows. It’s located in the Uptown section of Charlotte where $3.9 billion of development is occurring – half of which leaders say is attributable to the arena.

Ellerbe Becket has designed or renovated 17 NBA/NHL arenas, more than any other sports firm in the world. Most are in downtown locations, serving as a catalyst for redevelopment. Click here for more on the arena’s impact on Charlotte.

An innovator since its founding in 1909, Ellerbe Becket is a leader in architecture, engineering, interiors and construction, with office locations worldwide.
