The city's major selling point was the brand-new downtown basketball arena that is the current home of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats. The sprawling arena covers about nine acres with a capacity of more than 20,000. The structures that anchor the main building will provide plenty of space for the customary fan interaction and the ever-popular Vendors Pavilion.
While the basketball games will be the main attraction, there will be plenty of other things going on. Check back with WRAL-TV and WRAL.com as we present stories from the CIAA festivities.
