Our arena requires improvement? It's one of the newest in the league. What do we need? I don't see us needing reinforced backboards, Byron Mullens and Ben Gordon are gone already.

Other smaller-ticket items include moving the ticket office, creating a youth activity area and repairing the floors

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/0 ... zCZZc6yFSo To keep Time Warner Cable Arena among the NBA’s most modern buildings, the Charlotte Bobcats and tourism officials have submitted a $41.9 million list of improvements to the city of Charlotte.
The request includes suite improvements, restaurant renovations and moving the ticket office at the 8 1/2-year-old facility.

Where would you move the ticket office? Down stairs? It seems to be in a good spot.
I would guess they would want it to be easier to get in the arena like it was at the old Coliseum

In a shocking turn of events, the Hornets were thrown into the lottery and drew the first pick.
