Hello all, I finally found myself in a position to get some tickets to my first game and have them in hand . I am coming up for the CAR vs TN game this sunday all the way from Alabama and looking for the full experience. Anyone have any advice on things to do the day of/before/or after? Any opportunities for autographs? Ins and outs on tailgating, parking or shopping at the stadium? I'm also active duty and this being Veterans weekend, does the stadium have anything planned? Any help or advice for the full experience would be awesome and most heartedly appreciated. I'm so stoked! Will be in section 343, which looks like a really good view point. Thanks in advance!

Last time I went to boa with my dad we walked around the stadium until we saw the players cars parking lot. Chris harris and Otah were walking in together and signed my hat that I was wearing and chatted it up for like 15 min before they went in.

However peppers and gamble were assholes and just walked right past us. Its good to know at least some of the team is personable.

If you want autographs and are going to be in town on Friday morning, then come by practice, I believe they start around 10 am on Friday and it usually runs about 2 hours.

Don't forget to bring the cheese.

Drink beer before you go in unless you have a trust fund set aside for it.

Stop by the WFNZ Doghouse before the game, good spot if you don't have a tailgate to attend.

Damn, I need to go to a game. Been a Panthers fan too long haven't been to one game.

Sunday is Military Appreciation Day at BOA. Not sure of all the activities, though.

1. get there early to avoid the awful traffic.

2. uptown cabaret free admission with game stub after the game.

3. cash headed into the stadium so you can get concessions and avoid atms

What about the Huddle tailgate? Haven't seen a thread yet...

This will be my one and only game I'll be attending this season. I'll be rolling into Charlotte Saturday night. Anybody want to meet up at Coyote Joe's?

I'll be there. I hope Ranucci is providing the food. I have yet to try it.

Like I'm gonna pay to see a game I can watch for free at home.
