Charlotte Bobcats Arena has announced a deal that has renamed the venue.
It will be now be known as "Time Warner Cable Arena."

If you weren't at The Evening Muse last night for the first edition of the Crowntown Showdown, you missed out!
The monthly open mic series kicked off strongly and it's going to be tough to compare in the coming editions.
Based on the famous open mic series at Eddie's Attic in Georgia, it's held on the first Monday of each month and finalists will compete at the end of the series for prizes.
As one of the judges, last night's competitors were tough to compare.
A quick list of some of the big names releasing albums this week:
The Breeders Mountain Battles
Leona Lewis Spirit
Nine Inch Nails Ghosts I-IV
P.O.D. When Angels & Serpents Dance
