Section 101 at Spectrum Center

- At most basketball arenas, the worst seats are located behind the baskets. However, at Spectrum Center, these seats aren't as bad as one might expect. First, there are no seats directly behind the baskets. Instead, a stairway splits the baseline sections so nobody is stuck staring at the back of the hoop. Second, the rows rise from the floor with enough elevation to comfortably see over the fan in front of you. With many basketball teams sharing an arena with a hockey team, baseline sections are usually made up of temporary seating with very little rise to them. But in Charlotte, you don't have to worry about that. Finally, sections 109 and 110 are very small for baseline sections. So even the back rows of these sections are only about 20 rows from the court.
