Questions for Charlotte Natives

[xbobdog]

We got our hotel a Holiday Inn Express Charlotte N.E. University area , are any of y'all staying there and is there much to do around that area and how far is that from the stadium. thanks

20 Min to stadium, but really traffic dependent. I would give yourself more time if you are going close to the game. I don't know much about that area, but 1/2 way between there and the stadium is NoDa. A couple of breweries and restaurants.

Birdsong and NoDa Brewing are my favorite. Hiest is good too, and had real good food last time I went.

What about weather?

Im assuming its going to be in the high 30's for a night game in December, yes?

Leave it to the ACC to play its championship game in ****ty weather. Based on my research, Charlotte doesn’t seem too impressive either.

It will be cold, but Charlotte is an awesome city. Completely different than the trash elsewhere in the state.

I like Raleigh. Been there a couple of times for business. I'll be in Charlotte in a couple of weeks for the game so I hope you are right.

Concord is another area to stay with cheaper hotel prices and not far from the stadium. 10-15 miles. There is a mall off of exit 42 on I-85 with lots of restaurants (still Concord)

If you like Raleigh, you'll like Charlotte. Similar food and beer scene. Personally, I recommend going to Wooden Robot Brewery and Catawba Brewing when you're in town.

Hotel wise - I would recommend looking south of downtown in the SouthPark area, Ballantyne and even go into Fort Mill, SC which is about 25 minutes to the stadium. Concord and the University Area are both going to have chain restaurants mainly and nothing really to do as far as night life goes and really no good restaurants. I would avoid Huntersville; traffic construction on I-77 is a nightmare right now. FYI the airport is about 20-25 minutes to all these areas.

Plenty of great places to eat whatever your tastes so this is just a sampling; I have been to almost all of these places. I avoided listing chains such as Ruths Chris, Del Friscos, etc.

Olde meck brewery is a good spot to pregame and take the light rail to the game. Traditional german style beer and good food. Really big beer garden patio to spread out too.

MY daughter and grandkids live in Huntersville! We are going to the game and I booked a hotel, Best Western for $55 a night, which is about 10 minutes from my daughter and approx. 20 minutes from the stadium. A win win!

 

[mackjones]

Suggestions for hotels for the game would be appreciated, as well as for dinner.

When U say ' natives. ' Are U implying American Indian natives whom are Cane fans? Just wondering.

Del Frisco's Steakhouse is also a top tier, great steakhouse. Have reservations for Friday for 9!
