Ovens Auditorium

2700 E. Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC, 28205
(704) 335-3100 - Venue Website

Ovens Auditorium, located adjacent to Cricket Arena on East Independence Boulevard, opened along with the original Coliseum in 1955. For nearly half a century, world-greats have graced the stage of Ovens Auditorium. With a seating capacity of approximately 2,460, Ovens has hosted more than 7,000 events, attended by 9.4 million people. Ovens Auditorium has hosted top events and performances from the Billy Graham Crusade to Bob Hope and Bruce Springsteen. Broadway Shows, symphony concerts, opera, dance recitals and nationally known speakers have also found a home at Ovens, along with countless thousands of graduates who have walked across its stage to receive their diplomas. A recent five million dollar renovation at Ovens Auditorium provided upgrades to the auditorium, lobby exterior and grounds. These upgrades enable Ovens Auditorium to effectively serve the City of Charlotte with great entertainment events for many years to come. Still surrounded by its trademark fountains and rose gardens, Ovens Auditorium is truly among the finest of Charlotte's landmarks.
