Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
Buildings the Hurricanes have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a former arena or an earlier naming-rights label.
- Temporary home (relocation): Greensboro Coliseum (1997–1999)
- Current home: Lenovo Center (1999–present) — also known as RBC Center (2002–2012) and PNC Arena (2012–2024)
Coverage in Ticket Timeline’s game data starts in 1997, when the franchise relocated to North Carolina—a data-coverage year, not a franchise-founding claim.
If your ticket says Raleigh Entertainment and Sports Arena, RBC Center or PNC Arena, that’s the same Raleigh building now called Lenovo Center.
The franchise began in 1979 as the Hartford Whalers and played 18 seasons in New England before relocating in 1997. Those Hartford and Springfield nights have their own page.
Carolina Hurricanes play home games at Lenovo Center in Raleigh, NC, USA. Dates for those nights are anchored in Eastern time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names a former arena or an earlier name of the same building.
Rebuild your Hurricanes history
Use that timeline when dating a night: Greensboro Coliseum (1997–1999) is a former home—a different building from the Raleigh arena, not a rename; and tickets naming Raleigh Entertainment and Sports Arena, RBC Center or PNC Arena all refer to Lenovo Center under an earlier name. Rebuilding Hurricanes attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, arena names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended games is enough to start matching opponents and arenas. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.

For fans who live at Hurricanes home arena nights
Carolina Hurricanes home games at Lenovo Center deserve a clean record. Ticket Timeline keeps those attended nights organized with matchup and arena context, and stays useful when you also add road games later.
A memory worth recovering
If your stub says Hartford Civic Center, the game was from the Whalers era (1979–1997). If it says Greensboro Coliseum, that's a rare night during the 1997–1999 relocation window. If it names Raleigh Entertainment and Sports Arena, RBC Center, or PNC Arena, those are earlier names for the building now called Lenovo Center, in use since 1999.
