Bojangles Coliseum[a] (originally Charlotte Coliseum and formerly Independence Arena and Cricket Arena) is an 8,600-seat multi-purpose arena located in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is operated by the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority, which also oversees nearby Ovens Auditorium and the uptown Charlotte Convention Center. The naming-rights sponsor is the Bojangles restaurant chain.[5] The building's signature domed roof is made of tin, rather than steel or iron.[6] The dome spans 332 feet in diameter and rises to 112 feet tall.[7]
