TWC no more: Hornets arena to change name to Spectrum Center

For the first time since 2008, the Charlotte Hornets will be playing in an arena called something other than Time Warner Cable Arena.

This season was going to be one filled with many changes already, as the Hornets' roster underwent a major renovation over the offseason.

Now, their home is as well.

When the Hornets host their home opener on October 29 against the Boston Celtics, they will not be playing at Time Warner Cable Arena. Instead, the game will take place at the Spectrum Center.

The Charlotte Observer first reported the news early Wednesday morning and, in hindsight, it is one fans probably should have seen coming.
