Day tripping guide to Charlotte, North Carolina, as sports fan

After driving north for just over an hour, you’ll find yourself in the beloved Queen City. Home to the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Hornets and five other professional teams, Charlotte is a sports lover's paradise.

Having a strong professional sports culture is an important part of the city of Charlotte.
