Built out of spite and we'll never recover the money.

This is called Time Warner Cable Arena is it not?

Yeah, but I can't refer to it by that name since I gave it the Charlotte Coliseum III nickname in memory of its late predecessor Charlotte Coliseum II and any naming rights given to this facility would disrespect the memory of the demolished Coliseum.

New Orleans are having trouble selling tickets and after Katrina they should have moved the Hornets back to Charlotte. With Chris Paul leading the way i'm sure this place would have been rocking... terrible move by George Shinn and the NBA.

I like the scoreboard.

Nah, should've moved them to OKC and kept the Sonics in Seattle.

That's sort of the problem with all the small market teams. If they aren't real good they have trouble selling tickets. Not being able to sell tickets in a city the size of New Orleans would seem to me to indicate a deeper problem. I wonder if all those people being essentially held prisoner at the Superdome after Katrina might still be having a significant negative impact?
