All my infro is dated. 

Only one place to stay- marriott everyone thats covering/helping/etc the panthers will be staying there. You can catch some "semi-famous" nfl people in the bar/restaurant if youre lucky

A small "downtown" strip within walking distance. Had shops, couple bars, and a 3 star Chinese place. One night a BMW employee happened be at that bar, long talk and long night, bless her soul.

Beacon is only if you enjoy greasy southern food. Everyone told me to go as welll, I finally did..... The booth I sat at had not been cleaned since the 1969 moon landing. Layers of dark grease in the corners. My plate had a HUUUUGE pile of onion rings and I didnt order them. Sweet tea put me in a diabetic coma......but overall helped cure my hang over. 

Bonus marriot toilets were able to handle the after effects without making the "call"..

Get rest things happen early. 

Enjoy.

 

Forgot there was a great local doughnut shop close by( I think, can not member the name) and sunscreen like the others have already said.

I stayed there 3 years ago. Was eating breakfast and I heard this voice that sounded lumbergh from office space “Yeah, I’ll have a coffee”. I knew it wasn’t the real lumbergh but yet I know I’d heard it before.

I turn around and it’s Joe by God Person. Check please.

You need to try Shotz. It's in the little strip mall behind Food Lion. It's in the corner, just down the walk from Mr. Gattis.

 

Great food, great atmosphere, and alcohol. Lot's to do. Tell Carly behind the bar Cookie sent you. She'll know what it means. lol

 

Oh, and I go to Karaoke on Thurs. night.

Lucky you!.... I bumped into Darin Grant and a female NFL network reporter whom no longer works for them today. They always look so different in person. She wore a hat, button up shirt over a tank-top, and long athletic shorts. Poor woman had a bad cough and kept clearing her throat. You nailed Person, I have no clue how he gets on any radio/TV with that voice.

After a few one-liners back and forth, Darin walked off with this line " Never meet your heroes .."

Is there still a local bakery spot thats close to fields, god-like donuts? I may have my places mixed up. Its was across form the main road entrance to the fields/stadium.

There are no Spartans or (ice) "burgs".  Not many signs due to the public school situation in SC--so take a GPS.  You will know when you are there when the kids have gun racks on their tricycles and the girls with debutante tattoos and bedazzled spit cups try to con you out of a quarter.  I am sorry--what was the question?

It's actually just down the street of the entrance to the College on Church St. Krispy Kreme. About a block from the Marriott. 

 

The entrance off Pines St. Where the Camp entrance is. Is on the other end of the College.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Shotgun · Posted

      The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
