ATX fan flying in for home opener!!

[joeyxfresco]

Hey guys, so I’m flying in this Saturday to watch my first ever Panthers game. I grew up loving the Panthers because of Julius Peppers and I couldn’t miss his first game back on Charlotte. Just wondering if you guys had any recommendations to make the most of my time in Charlotte. I’m flying in Saturday afternoon and leaving Monday evening. I already have the basics down like making a visit to Bojangles and visiting the stadium on Saturday or Monday so I can get some good pictures. Is there anything else I should do?

There's that party district down there(I'm not from CTL so I can't remember what it's called Epicenter or something). NASCAR museum, killer southern BBQ.... I'll just hush and let the CTL's talk.

Welcome!

Depending on what time your flight arrives and depending on what kind of day you're trying to have Saturday- I'll be out doing this:

 

otherwise- hit up some of the local breweries...Enjoy yourself...go Panthers

Stay downtown Saturday and Sunday.  Plenty to do/see.  Enjoy.  Monday, visit the Billy Graham Library before your flight.  It's close to the airport and closes at 5.  You'd need 1-2 hours to see/enjoy so try showing up at 3 or 4.  It's nice, peaceful and FREE.  My recommendation.

Eastland Mall is a happening pla...  Oh Wait!

Stay near the city center and NoDa.  Just relax and maybe take in some Carolina Q.  Enjoy.

Gonna definitely have to check out some BBQ spots. Anyone have some recommendations?

 

Hows the tailgate scene?

Find Roaring Riot for tailgate. @RoaringRiot

As for BBQ I'll let them charlottens say their favorite spots. I'm an eastern Carolina BBQ fan.

Ahh yes the epicenter. Destroyer of Charlotte night life.  Or maybe I just got old.

I hate that scene too. Just like KCP&L(power and light) when I lived in KC. Anything mainstream I can't stand. But most people enjoy the experience.

Come on in and just enjoy.

I Might be at one of those Barcrawl bars, but not all of them. LOL

I'm in for the 90's bar tho! (Roxbury)
