| Checkers Reach Tentative Agreement to Return to Bojangles’ Coliseum Posted: 24 Nov 2014 03:10 PM PST CHARLOTTE – The Charlotte Checkers announced today that they have reached a tentative agreement with the Charlotte Regional Visitors’ Authority to return to Bojangles’ Coliseum beginning with the 2015-16 season. The 10-year agreement, which contains two five-year options, is contingent upon a Charlotte City Council vote to approve $16 million in funding for renovations to the Coliseum that are necessary to raise the building to American Hockey League standards. The vote will take place on Dec. 8. “We are extremely excited about the possibility of returning to our roots at Bojangles’ Coliseum,” said Tera Black, the Checkers’ chief operating officer. “We believe the move would be greatly beneficial for our organization, our fans and the city of Charlotte.” The $16 million in funding requested by the CRVA is comprised of $12 million previously proposed for amateur sports and civic events. An additional $4 million in improvements is needed to accommodate the Checkers and the infrastructure demands of an American Hockey League team. The Checkers’ history at Bojangles’ Coliseum dates back to Charlotte’s first professional hockey game in 1956. The team occupied the facility at various points between then and 2005, when it moved to its current location at Time Warner Cable Arena. | ||

| Posted: 24 Nov 2014 07:45 AM PST RALEIGH – Every year, thousands of people travel on North Carolina's roadways to spend time with loved ones over the Thanksgiving holiday. For most of them, it's a trip full of family, food and fellowship. But, for those travelers that don't buckle up, the trip may not have such a happy ending. "If you are involved in a crash, wearing a seat belt reduces your risk of critical injury or death by 50 percent," said Don Nail, director of the Governor's Highway Safety Program. "Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the busy holiday travel season, and it is the perfect time to remind North Carolinians to buckle up no matter where in the car they sit." During the Thanksgiving "Click It or Ticket" campaign, which begins today and continues through Sunday, Nov. 30, law enforcement officers across the state will be out day and night to keep those who drive our highways safe. While North Carolina reached a milestone in June by achieving a seat belt usage rate over 90 percent for the first time, November remains one of the top months for unbelted fatalities, particularly among 18-34 year-old males. The N.C. Department of Transportation and the Governor's Highway Safety Program offer these safety tips for drivers and passengers as they travel this Thanksgiving: • Buckle Up. Every Seat. Every Time.; • Don't drink and drive. Make sure you have a sober designated driver; • Obey the speed limit; • Keep a safe following distance; • Turn on your headlights in the rain; and • Put away all distractions including cell phones - it can wait. For more information regarding "Click It or Ticket" activities, contact Heather Jeffreys at (919) 707-2660 or visit the GHSP website. ***NCDOT***
