Also...

I haven't heard the team or fans mention something I think is pretty significant....

This will be the 25th season of NBA basketball in Charlotte.

Happy Silver Anniversary Charlotte!!!

Well what a spectacular night this is gonna be. Glad I'll get to be apart of it

One thing that I haven't seen addressed since it was brought up during the official name change press conference is what they are planning to do with Bobby Phills' jersey. At that presser they sounded adamant that that was a priority and were in communication with the Phills family.

I would love to walk in and see 13 already hanging from the rafters but it seems like we would have heard about it going up by now or a re-raising ceremony of some sort.

Damn, wish I could be there to get some cool poo!

They announced on Facebook that his jersey will be raised at halftime on November 1st against Memphis.

Should've been done on Wednesday.

Now about that attendance banner.

Wednesday is about celebrating the inaugural team so it's understandable that they would wait on Bobby's ceremony. It deserves it's own ceremony.

The attendance banner can stay under wraps.

Are you insinuating they shouldn't even hang it?

Hopefully it's already hanging when they open the doors Wednesday and unveiled at some point.

I think they could put it up around the concourse somewhere as it has historical significance but I wouldn't hang it.

Only banners should be retired numbers and championships won on the floor but to each his own.

who really cares about the attendence banner.  all it shows is people came out to watch a game 20 years ago.  not something I would really want to hang my hat on.

I disagree. Of course in the big picture it means nothing but to lead the league that many consecutive years is pretty cool

I know the tuxedo shirt they give out won't fit me but at least it will be a collectible.
