I have some stuff - cornhole boards (painted in orange & blue w/ Bronco logo, of course), a shade hut and a few folding chairs.

I'll have to check with the wife though - we were talking about skipping the tail-gate and taking the train to uptown.

tsiguy96 · 10-19-2012, 07:29 PM

well worst case we will host the tailgate, we simply dont have the supplies to make it a big one. will have beer and food regardless though.

Talked to the wife - we are in. What did you have in mind? We have most supplies except a full-size grill.

Definately up for trying some homebrew - i'm a brewer myself, but into kegging these days and don't really bottle any more.

tsiguy96 · 10-19-2012, 09:29 PM

yea my brother does kegging as well, i think he will post here about the beer but we will figure a way to get it there. will also try to bring some NC BBQ and some other stuff.

we will be in a hotel 1 mile from the stadium the night before and the night of the game.

mwill07 · 10-22-2012, 07:22 AM

Panthers just fired Hurney. All hope is lost. Tickets should be easier to get now. No reason not to fill BofA stadium with orange!

McDman · 10-22-2012, 09:13 AM

I'll be driving in from Nashville.

mwill07 · 10-24-2012, 11:54 AM

let's start planning this mofo. Who all is driving to the game, and any suggestions on parking?

I did find this link for reserved parking. Unless anyone has a better suggestion, I say we all at least try to get to the same lot. I've got my eye on 801: 801 McNinch St - $20, 0.26 mi from stadium, allows tailgating, restroom facilities available.

tsiguy96 · 10-24-2012, 12:05 PM

how many spots do they have?

that spot works for us

Man-Goblin · 10-24-2012, 12:21 PM

I have no idea where the good parking spots are, but I would be happy to investigate if it results in a raging tailgate.

Let me know if you guys need anything. I will bring my sausage balls. I'll bring snacks, too.

not sure if that was a joke

we will have a good amount of beer and some food, but someone will have to bring a smoker/grill because we dont have one.

Jay3 · 10-24-2012, 03:01 PM

I may go -- I live near Charlotte. I'll check in for the latest at this thread if there's a tailgate organized.

tsiguy96 · 10-24-2012, 06:25 PM

if that lot works then lets do it. i want a lot where we can make sure we have enough cars though..

tsiguy96 · 10-24-2012, 06:40 PM

three options:
http://www.parkwhiz.com/p/charlotte-...00&event=59361
.26 miles

http://www.parkwhiz.com/p/charlotte-...ews=1#comments
.37 miles

http://www.parkwhiz.com/p/charlotte-...ews=1#comments
.4 miles

That's fine. you make a good case. Bigger lot is better so we can get as many of us in, especially any late-comers. Convenient to uptown as well. One of the smaller lots ls likely to fill up sooner. Let's make this lot the Official Bronco Tailgate Headquarters.

tsiguy96 · 10-25-2012, 04:03 AM

sounds good, consider ours booked.

just troll-PMed everyone a link to the lot. we have potential for 20-30 people at this game, would be awesome to have the biggest bronco tailgate in the area.

McDman · 10-25-2012, 05:11 AM

Anyone know if scalping is allowed there?

ShimSizzle · 10-30-2012, 07:34 AM

Anyone looking to go out the night before? tsiguy and myself will be there Saturday night.
I plan on bringing a keg of cream ale or IPA depending on what i have ready. I will most def bring other beer to since i cant drink IPA the entire time.

mwill07 · 10-30-2012, 08:14 AM

I don't think I'm up for going out on the town Saturday night - I live about 45 min south of uptown and if i'm gonna be up at at it Sunday AM, I need my beauty rest the night before.

However, I am interested in a sports bar this Sunday for the Bengals game - I'm assuming it won't be broadcast here in Charlotte.

I live in the Raleigh area so that would be a bit a drive. Thats the reason are we are making a weekend of it.

Any places we should go to Charlotte to eat or drink? We are staying near the BOA.

plenty of places. Charlotte doesn't have the best night-life in the world, but it's not completely dead on weekends either. The obvious place to mention is the Epicenter. I really like Black Finns there - think upscale sports bar. There are a number of bars and clubs all in the same area.

There are a number of other decent bars and restaurants in the area, but I haven't really had the chance to explore them all. Dixies Tavern is supposed to be pretty good. RiRa's is a good Irish pub.

A little further out than Up-town, Olde Mecklenburg brewery has a nice little tasting room, but not much around. Taco Mac has a great beer selection. Bill Spoons is probably the best BBQ near up-town. I like it better than Macs Speed Shop, which is where people tend to suggest...I'm not really a fan of Macs, it's over priced, IMO and the place tries to be an "upscale biker bar"...the type of place where bank executives will ride their Harleys to. I know there's some cool stuff in NoDa area, and there are some cool spots at the NC Music Factory - VBGB beer hall, in particular.

ETA: you are a homebrewer, right? Might be worth while checking out NoDa and Birdsong breweries. I haven't been to either one, but they are next door to each other and about 4 miles from the stadium.

looks like it's gonna be beautiful weather!
