Parking - South Gate

We have PSLs near the South Gate but always end up parking on Trade Street since it's $20 and a quick 5 minutes to pop on I-77.  The walk isn't usually too bad for us and the kids, though they do get tired towards the end.  We're all headed to the game on Thursday for the kids' first night game and I was hoping to find a better parking location nearer to the South side of the stadium, but have never parked over there before.

Is there anywhere you'd recommend us parking so we can get home (Matthews) a bit quicker rather than walking with the crowds all the way to the other side of the stadium out the North gate and then all the way down to Trade?  We don't tailgate if that matters.  I don't mind paying $30 or $40 for a one-time parking, but don't want to pay a $50+ premium just to be in a decent tailgating lot.

I saw that site, I guess my issues are (A) having never parked in that area, I don't have a good feel for how long it takes to walk to/from the stadium vs our normal walk to Trade, (B) ease of getting out of the city after the game, and (C) general feel for the lot(s) in terms of kid-friendly, heavy tailgaters, etc.

Thanks all.  It sounds like South mint isn't too bad.  Couple more follow-ups on it:  Do you usually pre-pay parking or just pull into a lot?  If you just pull in, do they fill up quick?  Lastly, is it safe to walk back at night with the kids?  Walking up Graham is usually pretty safe since half the street is blocked off but google maps shows Mint is a bit narrower with narrower sidewalks.

I truly appreciate all the quick responses.  Our girls are very much looking forward to their first night game!

not on the south side, but dilworth grille has free parking and free shuttles to the stadium. i park there every week and walk the mile to the stadium (my experience is it is quicker to walk than sit in the traffic on the shuttle). right next to I277. FREE!

Try parking parnda's website.  I used to part on W. Summit.  AFter the game, you can sneak onto the john belk, hang a u turn, and be on 77 in about a minute from your parking spot.    For thursday, i'm parking on morehead,  just west of 77.  parked there for the Bills game and it's not a bad walk.  down hill on the way home.

There's lots of folks on S Mint who will tailgate throughout the entire game, so I wouldn't worry about safety, there's plenty of people around.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
