In 1988, long before the Carolina Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes or Charlotte FC, the Charlotte Hornets put North Carolina on the professional sports map.
Thirty-five years after the NBA franchise’s first game – a 40-point loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers – the Charlotte Museum of History captured the team’s history in its “Hive at 35” exhibit.
The exhibit walks viewers through the history of the Hornets with tons of memorabilia and things fans can interact with as they tour the exhibit.
