Ahead of the NBA All-Star Game next month, the Charlotte Hornets have added two in-arena amenities that they say will help cater to fans who are breastfeeding and fans who have sensory sensitivities.
Recently added at the Spectrum Center uptown is a small room for nursing mothers, the Hornets said in a statement Monday. In addition, the Spectrum Center is now certified as a sensory inclusive venue, meaning the arena provides special equipment and assistance to anyone overwhelmed by the loud noises and other stimulation at the arena.
Spectrum Center General Manager Donna Julian said the roll-out of the two initiatives is meant to make the arena more inclusive and accommodating for fans.
