The organization made the announcement at their BB&T Point Progress Party on Thursday.

The date was revealed as part of a "rocking out" ceremony, where a rocket chair, painted by Troutman Chair, was hoisted to the top of BB&T Point.

Fans chose the team name earlier in the season, and in the next month or so, fans will get the chance to vote on the name of the team mascot.
