Where's everyone staying in Charlotte?
- Thread starter Drewbowski
- Start date
I reserved a room at courtyard next to airport.
Reviews show it's a good place. Not far from downtown and there is some kind of light rail service nearby to downtown and the stadium

Ive stayed in Charlotte several weeks over the years. Last time was at a HGI by the NASCAR museum. I'm sure it'll fill up because it's by the stadium, but it's nice.
You're further than you would think. Easily 20 or 30 minutes depending on traffic. I have no idea if you have kids or anything, but if you're going to party and get drunk, you might want to reconsider. There isn't much out by the airport.
Having said all that, Uber has really changed the game (assuming it's in NC).

Really?
I estimated it being just 4 mi or so from the stadium and it's well inside the I 485 Perimeter. From what I saw, I can take that rail into town for the partying and Courtyard has a shuttle that runs the few mins back and forth to the terminal.
UBER is not a bad idea. I'm sure it's active in Charlotte.

It's actually called uptown rather than downtown. Not sure why but the locals seem to get their panties in wad when you call in downtown, or at least in my experience. I've spent a good bit of time there for work over this year. It's a fun place.
Hampton in Belmont. It's cheap ($100/night) and has great reviews on trip advisor. Just off i-85 west of Charlotte. Looks to be 15 miles to the stadium. I'm bringing at least one kid so I don't care about the night life.
Timing of the game kinda sucks though... mid afternoon on the 30th.

I live in Charlotte.
Not sure how crazy the hotel prices are but imo, if I were coming for the game, I'd stay in Uptown/downtown or Southpark (near the mall not on/near Tyvola).
I'd avoid the airport hotels. And anything on 85 if at all possible.
Yes Uber is here, as is Lyft.

Staying at the Doubletree by Southpark and will drive to the game. There seemed to be decent parking around (due south of the stadium) based on the Panthers games I have attended.
Uptown, renamed from Downtown to promote a new image of the area, certainly has a big city feel to it. We would typically find our way to EpiCenter when in that part. We would usually eat at NIX, now called Cowbell.
Our group will likely head to NoDa after the game for dinner (Cabo Fish Taco) and then to NoDa Brewing. Other breweries in this area include Birdsong, Heist and Free Range.
Around Southpark are plenty of dining spots, more national names. Cowfish in the area gets a bunch of press but I have never personally visited. Taco Mac for a watering hole.
Others that we would frequent: Duckworth's (on Park) for beer, Mac's (on South) for BBQ, there's also plenty of places in Dilworth around East at Scott. Pinky's is a good burger spot on the outskirts of Uptown.

If you stay in Southpark why on earth would you drive to the game instead of taking uber?
That's crazy to me. You'll pay as much to park as your uber fare

I hear you...didn't realize a kid was involved.
No uber family here yet.

Got a spot at the Marriot in Southpark near mall. What about this McCormick and Stic-whatever resturant?
