About Spectrum Center Parking Lots

Welcome to Spectrum Center, Charlotte’s premier arena and multipurpose venue. Located at 333 East Trade Street, this iconic space has hosted major sports, concerts, and conventions since opening in 2005. Whether you’re catching a basketball game, a headline concert, or a big-time event, we’ve got you covered with straightforward ticket access and practical details about seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotels and restaurants.

Note: seating configurations vary by event—basketball, wrestling, and concerts may use end-stage or center-stage setups, and capacity ranges from 19,077 (basketball) up to 20,200 for certain configurations. When you book, you’ll see the exact layout for your event.

Parking is convenient with nearly 30,000 off-street spaces within a 15-minute walk, plus seven park-and-ride lots accessible via the Lynx rail network. The arena sits adjacent to the Lynx light rail line and across Trade Street from the Charlotte Transportation Center (CTC), making public transit a solid option for many attendees. For a comfortable stay and easy access, consider nearby hotels such as the Omni Charlotte Hotel, Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel, and the newer Moxy Charlotte near Brevard Street. Plan ahead with our affiliate partner recommendations for hotels and dining to secure the best options for your visit.

Event history highlights include the Democratic National Convention (2012), CIAA tournaments, NCAA Tournament games (2008, 2011, 2015), and the ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament (2008). Spectrum Center has hosted performances by major artists like the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, Jay Z, Aerosmith, and Beyoncé. Regardless of the show, we’re here to help you find great seats and a smooth experience.
