The Carolina Panthers were added to the NFL as an expansion team in 1995. The Panthers nearly defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII, and seem to be the hot pick to win the NFC South many seasons.  With a little luck in the injury department for the 2010 Carolina Panthers schedule, it would be no surprise at all to see them finally win the division again.  We're looking forward to a fabulous Carolina Panthers (affectionately known as the ‘Cardiac Cats’) 2010 season at Bank of America Stadium.  Carolina Panther tickets are guaranteed to allow you to see a contending team every year.  See the most exciting team in the NFL; get your Panther tickets today!

Charlotte is known as the birthplace of professional hockey in the South, and the Charlotte Checkers are proud to be part of that history.  The Checkers, a member of the ECHL, are the affiliate of the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League and the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League.  Following a 17-year hiatus from hockey, Charlotte welcomed the Checkers back in 1993.  Since their return, the Checkers have made the playoffs nine times – highlighted by an ECHL Championship in 1996.  Charlotte Checkers look to continue the tradition of exceeding the expectations of their fans by providing a family-oriented environment at home games, quality broadcasts and a commitment to the Charlotte community.  With 36 home games filled with exciting hockey, fun promotions and great giveaways, the Charlotte Checkers have a ticket package to fit every budget.

Charlotte NC: Art Abounds at Spirit Square 

First Baptist Church, erected in the early 1900’s, was designed by J.M. McMichael of Harrisburg, PA.  The central element of the structure (which has no steeple) is the Byzantine dome, similar to New York City’s Madison Square Presbyterian Church. 

Church goers marveled at the stained glass windows, as you will. One window on the south side of the sanctuary was donated by Vinton Liddell in honor of his father, W. F. Liddell.

Originally doubtful that the acoustics would be sufficient for even being able to hear a sermon in the church, but the acoustics did work!  The sound of the music was unbelievably glorious and the sermons reverberated like music to the ear. 

In 1975, the old building was destined for destruction.  A local  chairwoman of the Board of County Commissioners Liz Hair, gathered ‘troops’ to rally and was able to save the building from destruction.  First Baptist Church is now the main performance hall for Spirit Square, a popular Uptown center for the arts.  

Visit www.BlumenthalCenter.org and plan to see a performance in the intimacy of McGlohon Theatre at Spirit Square—hear the wonderful acoustics for yourself!  You simply won't believe how amazing they are!  

I recently attended a charity event in the McGlohon Theatre with someone who had never been in the theatre--without any prompting, he said, "I can't believe how good the acoustics are in this place!"
