Hornets New Scoreboard

What is it with Charlotte and the honeycomb pattern?

Probably because they're the Hornets...

Well yes, but there are other places the patter is used around Charlotte. Off the top of my head one of the rides at Carowinds hear Charlotte uses a similar patter in its theming.

Late in the Revolution, British General Cornwallis encountered sharpshooting Patriots at the 1780 Battle of Charlotte and Battle of Kings Mountain nearby. A “hornet’s nest of rebellion,” he called Charlotte. Cornwallis departed, soon to be defeated by General George Washington at Yorktown, ending the War.

The Hornet is used in a lot of different symbols around the area.

No hornet on the court anymore

It's just a placeholder court for college games. The same honeycomb court is still around, just being spruced up.

And needless to say there uniforms are still disappointing considering the hype they got....

I bet we ordered that for the All Star game...

Super cool. I love it for them.

I wish that all teams in the league would get on it and add cool touches like this. The Heat have always had a cool scoreboard too.

I thought the Cavs had the best screen so era is over?

Cavs' screens are still bigger by a good amount, at 33'x57'. Not sure that's necessarily better, though I've never seen em in person. They are they nba version of the Dallas Cowboys'. Hornets' looks good!

Now I can go to the game and watch the big screen.

The underside of the monitors is pretty cool, we did ours a couple years ago and while it's pretty damn sweet looking I think everything going on in junction with the giant monitors is actually a bit distracting. I think I would've preferred everything trimmed down another like 30% or so.

Target Center got new video boards over the Olympic break for the Timberwolves and Lynx.

These big screens are the new trend. Banker's Life has had a big screen for years. From personal experience, I can say I really like them. Banker's Life is a very steep arena. It's great you can grab $12 and $15 tickets to most games, but you'll also be way up there, so the screen helps; especially if you like to pay attention to stat lines.

the Cavs "Humongotron" is still the biggest with the sideline screen dimensions of 31.5 x 56.69, but it looks like the hornets one is of a better video quality.

Kings new scoreboard, expanding almost the length of the court with the main screen at 44'x22' in 4k ultra hd.
