The exhibit will include interactive spaces, a timeline of Carolinas basketball history and plenty of artifacts, from the original teal-and-purple Hornets jerseys and game-worn shoes to commemorative items from the team’s inaugural season and other milestone events. Also on display: vintage Hornets giveaways such as Hugo plushes, team holiday cards and a limited-edition Hornets cookbook. Fans can participate in the exhibit through the “Hive Drive” campaign. By donating as little as $5, fans can have their names displayed on a digital list of supporters on the exhibit’s website.
The “Hive @ 35” exhibit opens to the public on Tuesday, Oct. 10, and will be included as part of regular museum admission. All Hornets season ticket holders will receive a single-day pass for free museum admission to see the exhibit.
