The RBC Center is one of the main attractions in North Carolina. It is situated in Raleigh, at 1400 Edwards Mill Road, approximately ten miles away from Wyndham Raleigh Durham Research Triangle Park hotel. This attraction has a lot to offer to visitors and is worth taking notice.

This is where you will find the Carolina Hurricanes that play in the NHL. In 1997, the hockey club relocated to Raleigh from Hartford where they were known as the Whalers. Since then, they won the Stanley Cup in 2006 and are always as exciting to watch. Taking in a Hurricanes game can guarantee an exciting 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.

Since the Center is around the Wyndham hotel, it is very easy to go out for a night of sports and sleep at the hotel. It is said this is the best place to end an exciting night of sports and hit the sack. After watching the live action, you will be happy to not have to travel very far for 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 venue first opened its doors in 1999, in October. Since then, the name has changed to the RBC Center, just like we know it today.
