The Charlotte Sting are a Women's National Basketball Association team. They play at the Charlotte Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina and they were one of the eight original teams that began to see action in 1997. Robert L. Johnson, founder of BET, purchased the team in January 2003, shortly after he was announced as the principal owner of an NBA expansion franchise that was scheduled to begin play in the fall of 2004. The NBA team was later named the Charlotte Bobcats. Johnson changed the team colors from teal and purple to blue and orange in 2004.
The Sting will move into the Bobcats' new home, Uptown Arena, in 2006.
