However, if approved, the new contract with Parking Unlimited will cost the city $270,000 a year, according to the Charlotte Business Journal.
Since the newly renovated Spectrum Center reopened in late October, it has welcomed more than 300,000 people.
That includes concerts, college basketball games, and Carolina Hornets games.
Despite a losing record, the Hornets have increased attendance by 11% compared to last year.
