Hey @Panthers_Lover couple  questions....

1) any rules to what kind of vehicles are allowed in the TC parking area? Specifically, can I bring a RV?

2) Any rules prohibiting tailgating before a practice in the parking area?

I'll check on RVs, but I think they're probably fine. Tailgating as well should be fine. They'll pack vehicles in, so you may not have a load of space.

I need clarification. You weren't talking about staying overnight in an RV, were you? No, that wouldn't be allowed.

Oh no. But if I pull in the parking lot driving a RV is that ok?

You should be fine. They may direct you to a different location, depending on how cars are being parked. Just don't tell them I said it was OK! Ha!! (The truly best thing would be to park it at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium and take the shuttle bus in, but I know that's not what you want to do.)

Most important question @Panthers_Lover....which Bojangles is closest?

Probably Asheville Highway near Hearon Circle. From Wofford, take North Church Street/US 221/US 176 north. Where US 221 bears right, continue straight on Asheville Highway/176. It will be about 3 miles on your left, before you get to Hearon Circle at I-85 Business Loop.

If you're on Business I-85, get off at Hearon Circle and go toward Spartanburg. It will be on your right.

Damn, missed these. KK's the way to go. Just seemed to be fresher there. When are you going? I may try next week. Seems like it might be a calmer work week.

I'll be there Wed, Thurs, Sat, and Sun this week. Don't have next week set yet. Start breakfast at Bo's on Sat.

This will be our first year attending training camp this Saturday. We've always gone to fan fest and the last 2 years were not enjoyable for us at all. I am happy to see the fan base grow, but miss the days of being able to go out on the field to play games with the kids and try to kick field goals. 

If we want our 11 year old to be able to get a few autographs and see some of her favorites up close, is 8:30 early enough to get there or should we go sooner? We will be staying in Spartanburg Friday night so we can get there asap.

Honestly? It is early enough to get a decent, not great spot. My sons and I got a lot of autographs and saw everyone up close. First, be ready for lots of players, including the stars (aside from Luke), to not sign at all. Second, if you wanted to guarantee more autographs, get there when it opens. Way less people and you will see people run to get setup at the front of the fence where they come out. Also, you have to camp there all day to get people on the way back in and while they sign a little bit before practice if they come out early (if they don't, no chance they sign before), after practice is the biggest signature time. If you don't stay at the fence, you won't have a spot after practice. We didn't stay on day 1 and of course Cam barely signed but did for 1 lady right where we were. He didn't sign anything the next day. Day 2 we wanted to make sure we got autographs, so I setup 2 chairs and we rotated watching practice so we always had someone manning the chairs to keep our spot. Worked like a charm, but you definitely miss a lot of the practice because the good spots aren't anywhere near where you can watch.

Thanks for the tips! What time do they open up for fans to come in?

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
