Because Charlotte is a melting pot of its own, it offers its visitors and residents a variety of things to enjoy. Charlotte is home to several sporting and recreational teams, such as the NFL Carolina Panthers, NBA Charlotte Bobcats, AHL Charlotte Checkers, and the Queen's Cup Steeplechase, to name a few. ("The winning ticket," 2013) Aside from sporting events, Charlotte is also a great supporter of the Arts. People can either go to NoDa, which is one of Charlotte's most popular art district, and enjoy some Art, food, and shopping, or they can visit a variety of museums and theaters located in Uptown Charlotte. For example, the Bluementhal Performing Arts Center proudly presents a variety of art performances, such as "The Lion King" play, or the Charlotte Symphony. (Gustafson, 2013)
