I got pretty good tickets for Canes vs. Maples on 3/25 right behind Canes bench.  I have never been to canes game before and I’ll be driving from Charlotte.  Any advise on what to do and parking?

You can pay $25 for parking through park whiz or pay $30 at the gate. Since it’s your first game, I wouldn’t recommend parking at the fairgrounds. Get there early, check out the eye and watch warmups. Have fun. That should be a great atmosphere.

Take it all in. Get there early enough to walk around and see the arena a bit. Try to take some of the intermission entertainment in if your bladder/cravings will let you. It's usually pretty fun stuff.

I’m taking my 9 year old (his bday present).  I might have 1-2 beers tops and that’s it.  I plan on driving to Charlotte after the game.

Yell RED during the anthem.  Prepare to hear Scorpions several times.  I've always parked at Raleigh Neuro and walked down.  It's free, but they do have no parking signs.  I've never had problems, and others park there as well but ymmv, obviously.

Park on the backside. For sure. There is always parking.

Since you are bringing your kid definitely stop by the broadcast booth, if it’s not ticketed. Spot #20 and #74. Tell your kid to keep an eye on them.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
