Spectrum Center
In the Hornets' own published statement, Spectrum Center achieved Sensory Inclusive Certification through KultureCity: arena staff were trained by medical professionals, and sensory bags — noise-cancelling headphones, fidget tools, verbal cue cards, and weighted lap pads — are available at the Guest Experience Booths outside Sections 102 and 208. The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority, which manages the arena's back-of-house operations, likewise states Spectrum Center partnered with KultureCity. A sensory room outside Section 102 is widely reported in local guides, but it was not stated on the arena pages retrievable in this pass, so no room is recorded until it can be re-checked on the venue's own site.
