per jordan fan letter from bobcats.com>>

We have spent a great deal of time and effort over the last year trying to improve every aspect of our organization. We have been able to assemble a young and talented nucleus of players. We maneuvered to add two top ten picks to our team from this past year's draft. We also have a coaching staff in place that did an incredible job of developing our players last season. Most importantly we have achieved this while creating the type of flexibility needed to continue the process of improving our team.

There is a lot to look forward to as we get ready to take the court and we would like nothing more than for you to be a part of it. As a thank you for your support, we have a number of fan appreciation events that will be taking place. It all starts on December 17th when you can get your first look at our team during a free scrimmage at Time Warner Cable Arena. Then at our preseason game on December 19th against the Atlanta Hawks, all kids 14 and under can attend for free. Opening night is always a special game and on December 26th we would like to offer 50% off concessions for everyone in attendance. As another thank you, for our first 3 games in January, every ticket in the upper level will be only $5.
