Uber/Lyft on game days

My friend and I usually drink at a hotel beforehand and catch an Uber.  We have to get out and walk a couple blocks but it’s not bad.  We usually walk to the Epicenter after and drink more, then take an Uber back to the hotel from there. Haven’t driven once because we’re always intoxicated.  It works if you don’t mind spending a few extra bucks for the surge.  We try to go to prime time games though so it could be different for afternoon games

Anybody ever used Uber or Lyft to and from the stadium on game dsys? Is it doable?

I have an Airbnb nearby for 2 games this season. Season parking fell through and am considering going game to game

Good luck getting an uber home. Every time I've tried it, it has been a disaster. They close a bunch of streets and it takes the Uber forever to get to stadium. Better off waking a while and then requesting an uber.

Immediately it’s rough but If you walk toward epicenter and have a few more beers and catch the first half of the next round of games it’s simple. Either way expect to arrive and depart at least 2 blocks away.

This is my fear. Was planning to head to Draft on Cedar street and texting Uber from there once Cedar clears out.

Yea, it can be a nightmare immediately after the game. There's been a few times where the driver has cancelled or I've cancelled simply because it connected us but we weren't going to meet up for at least 30 minutes due to traffic. Eventually, you find one that's sort of close to your spot so you start walking to them, they'll call you, and you won't be able to hear them or understand what they're saying due to the noise pollution and the fact that you're drunk. Beats a DUI though.

Like others have said, the best bet is to go sit and wait somewhere or walk further away from the stadium.

It's in South End. I could easily walk but my wife couldn't. Got it for Cowboys and Saints

Most games I have a 2 hour drive back to Winston Salem so a little wait shouldn't be too bad.

You could also take the light rail. It's still a pain in the ass after games due to everyone trying to cram in but it's another option especially since your place is in south end.

Even the walk to closest rail station would be pushing my wife's limits. We are old farts

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
