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.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
