The Cumberland County Sheriff's Department and Fayetteville Police Department worked with motorists to avoid congestion on U.S. 301, Owen Drive and Mountain Drive. Cumberland County Schools' high school graduations also experience heavy traffic and during the 2012 graduations, the Crown exemplified how it can become a city unto itself with the huge amount of activity that often takes place inside the complex. On one day, the Cape Fear Heroes were practicing during their turn in the coliseum and the next day, the turf had to be moved to the arena, so grad- uation setup could occur in the colise- um. Approximately 45 staff members help keep the Crown rolling. The Crown's in-house catering service, Centerplate, provides fabulous food to customers.

"They've done very small events. They can do large events. They're very good at working at whatever kind of bud- get a group needs. They'll do whatever they can to accommodate them." While Centerplate answers catering needs, the Crown as a whole has kept the regional population full of great entertainment values.
