Select Relevant Info On The RBC Center

By Renee Jones


One of the many attractions for North Carolina is the RBC Center. You can find it in Raleigh, on Edwards Mill Road, about ten miles from the Wyndham Raleigh Durham Research Triangle Park hotel. The center offers a lot for visitors to enjoy so it is worth it to check it out.

It is home to the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League. The team was initially the Hartford Whalers that relocated to Raleigh in 1997. They have won a Stanley Cup since then, in 2006, and are an exciting team with a good following. Catching a Hurricanes hockey game can make for a thrilling night in Raleigh!

The NC State University Wolfpack team calls this place home also. The men's basketball team is always very competitive. College basketball is as fast-paced as it gets and will definitely please any fan with its non-stop action.

Seeing as the arena is so close to the Wyndham hotel, it would be awfully easy to plan an evening of sports-watching and stay at the hotel. They say it is the perfect place to cap off a night of exciting sports and relax. After taking in all the action, you will be glad you don't have far to go to reach your bed.

There are a few things that make this attraction so special. This is a large indoor entertainment and sports complex; seating capacities for basketball is 19,722, for hockey 18,176, and concerts can hold 19,500 fans at once. It must be said this is a state-of-the art concert venue, with over two hundred speakers hanging from the ceiling accompanied with over five hundred forty acoustical banners hung in its steel roof.

This center opened its doors in October of 1999. It has since changed its name to the RBC Center, as we know it now. It has become somewhat of an institution in Raleigh which is fitting because it houses two of the city's favorite teams. Very often, you will find the rafters in a sea of red as this is the predominant color on both teams uniforms.

At sixty-six luxurious suites and a capacity for nineteen thousand, chances are good you will find a seat for the big game. You can book a room at the Wyndham hotel quite easily and simply and dinner can be had at the game during the evening. Don't worry about missing any action if you are on a bathroom break. The center has almost six hundred television screens all over so you don't miss a minute.
