I think it's magic that this place can be in the middle of uptown and somehow, wildly, I've never been caught in game-day traffic. I was horrified to think of the quagmire it could have created, but even though Charlotte's roads have that bowl-of-spaghetti kind of organization, it's really never been that bad.
I have been to a few Panthers games. I'm not a football fan...not at all...but the games are always fun here. I like walking around uptown in the vicinity before and after as well, as there are always a lot of interesting characters hanging out.
The food in the stadium is overpriced, just like the food in every stadium, but it's not shockingly overpriced. The crowd is always hype, and it's fun to go out and find a spot where Charlotte really comes together. We can be a kind of hodgepodge, soulless city, but you get a sense of who we are at the Panthers games.
