NEW ORLEANS EXPERIENCE:
The New Orleans Hornets are in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Hornets were formed in 1988 as the Charlotte Hornets. The team rose to prominence throughout the 1990’s behind the leadership of NBA greats like Larry Johnson, Vlade Divac, Glenn Rice, and Alonzo Mourning. The Hornets made regular playoff appearances but were unable to reach a championship. The Hornets’ ownership moved the team to New Orleans in 2002, but in 2005 Hurricane Katrina forced the team to relocate to Oklahoma City for more than two years as New Orleans recovered from the storm. The Hornets returned to New Orleans Arena for the 2007 season.
The Charlotte Hornets have been the buzz of the NBA since their team's inception. The team chose teal as their primary color, which became a fashion craze in sports at the time of their induction into the NBA. The Florida Marlins, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Jose Sharks all chose similar colors when they were inducted into their various leagues. Also, the Charlotte Coliseum raised eyebrows, as it was the largest basketball-only venue in the NBA - and one of the most advanced facilities - when it was constructed for the team. Make sure to watch this trend-setting team continue to turn heads throughout the years.
The Hornets play their home games at the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana. The arena opened in 1999 with a capacity of 18,000 for basketball games. New Orleans Arena weathered Hurricane Katrina better than other landmarks in the city, and was used to house much of the sensitive medical equipment used in the aftermath of the storm.
