From rendering to reality. The second phase of the Re!magine Spectrum Center project is on track. The $245 million renovation project is slated to give sports fans and concertgoers an improved experience, just in time for the Spectrum Center‘s 20th anniversary, fall concert lineup, and the Hornets’ upcoming season.
“We are looking fabulous,” Donna Julian, Hornets Sports and Entertainment’s Chief Venues Officer, told CLTtoday. “We wanted this to elevate our guest experience for all of our fans who are coming in.”

- Belk Concourse: Within the main lobby, fans won’t miss a view of the new 225-ft LED board + new signage, brighter lighting, and flooring.
- “Grab-and-go” markets: Seven new spots along the main concourse, offering hot and cold food items and drinks, including two Amazon stores.
