Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

The final sign check should say Bojangles Coliseum, not Ovens Auditorium, before joining a line.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The compact arena bowl can feel close to the action, but floor and stage changes still require the live map.

03

Positive

Event-day character

Its historic, smaller-scale arena character distinguishes it from Charlotte's larger uptown venue.

Fit and tradeoffsWhat to expectThe practical strengths and the details that could change your choice

Compact historic bowl

  • ✓The historic compact bowl puts Checkers hockey and mid-size touring events closer than Charlotte's larger uptown arena.
  • ✓Facility parking surrounds the BOplex campus with primary access from Briar Creek Road and Independence Boulevard.
  • ✓The connected campus can pair arena and auditorium programming while keeping each room distinct.

Two-building wayfinding

  • ×Bojangles Coliseum and Ovens Auditorium share a campus but not entrances, queues, or seating charts.
  • ×The older compact bowl offers less concourse and circulation margin than a modern large arena.
  • ×Event-specific bag and security instructions need to be checked because the current BOplex event notice controls entry.
