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.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
