You may not know it, but I think the Charlotte Bobcats are on a path to the playoffs. They have won their sixth straight game, according to the Charlotte Observer.

The Bobcats beat the Knicks for their sixth straight win.

Some say that the franchise was named for their founder Bob Johnson, who also owns the BET Television network.  Or they could be named for the mountain lion. Who knows. 

The stadium they play in is relatively new and sits right in the heart of downtown. I think some dining establishments have sprung up around the stadium, although I can't name them. Charlotte's uptown and nightlife districts have become more happening over the past ten or 20 years thanks to the stadiums bringing people downtown. Panther's stadium is also located close to the banking center downtown.

The Bobcats stadium is much closer to the end of the light rail line that has sprung up in Charlotte, making it super easy to jump on the train in Pineville and jump off at a basketball game. In fact, the final stop of the rail line is the stadium, I think. Just remember to wear plenty of orange. Nobody wants to see you at a game wearing Knicks blue or Suns purple.
