"Team Charlotte's" a sports mecca. Home to Panthers. Bobcats. And NASCAR racing. As much a hub for the arts as for finance and commerce. Hospitable. Beautiful. Focused on the future. From museums to theme parks. Grits and stock car races to trendy night clubs. And only a short commute to some of the world's finest golf courses.

Taking inspiration from General Earl Cornwallis's comment that Charlotte during the American Revolution was a "hornet's nest," the city named its original NBA franchise the Hornets. When the team played its first game in 1988, it lost by 40 points and still received a standing ovation - a prime example of Southern hospitality! Although the Hornets have given way to the Bobcats, Charlotte still proudly cheers its hometown team from October through April.
