Based in North Carolina, the Charlotte Hornets are currently owned by basketball icon Michael Jordan who acquired controlling interest in the team in 2010.
The original Hornets franchise was established in 1988 as an expansion team, owned by George Shinn, and went through quite a few changes before becoming the franchise Charlotte Hornets Ticket Holders love to watch play today.
After several seasons in North Carolina, the franchise moved to New Orleans in 2002 and became the New Orleans Hornets. Meanwhile, in 2004, the NBA established the Charlotte Bobcats, which was regarded as a new expansion team at the time. In 2013, the New Orleans Hornets rebranded itself the New Orleans Pelicans. The Hornets name, records, and official history from 1998 to 2002 were given back to the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets returned to the court for the 2014–2015 season to the delight of fans.
For a team with such a relatively short existence, the Charlotte Hornets have had a lot of instability. This has certainly contributed to the team's inability to build momentum and lack of success on the court. They've won no or conference or division titles at any point in their history. However, that hasn't dampened fans' enthusiasm for their home team. In fact, Charlotte is known as "Buzz City" during basketball season because their fans buzz with excitement every time the team plays.
The Hornets play their home games at the Spectrum Center, which fans refer to as "The Hive." The arena seats more than 19,000 Charlotte Hornets Ticket Holders. Fans of the Charlotte Hornets can get premier seating to all home games from Golden Tickets.
