Parking and other tips?

[GamecockSmitty4]

Been a Canes fan as long as I can remember. Been to a few games in Florida in 2007ish but finally going to my first home game on the 21st against the Flyers with my stepdad (Flyers fan). Any advice on parking for fairly cheap? Any other tips?

1. Put the Parkwhiz app on your phone and buy a general parking ticket. QR code on your ticket is scanned at the lot entrance.

2. I drive in from Blue Ridge Rd past the museum and over Wade Ave. Turn right on Trinity and turn right into the dirt lot right outside the main entry to Carter Finley Stadium.

Since I come from the west each game I prefer to park in the first west lot. I come in off wade Ave, right on Edward's Mill. When you make the left into the arena stay in the far right lane...cones will guide you to the first general parking lot. I park there for ease of exit after the game!

Because I'm going west it's way quicker back to wade ave/40 leaving from that lot! 

Only thing you need to watch for is they'll close the Edward's Mill exit off wade at 615pm. I have ways around that too if I'm running behind.

I think you can still park free in the fairground lot across Trinity, where you walk thru the tunnel under Trinity, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe someone else here can answer.

Ease of entry and exit will depend on which way you're coming from. But, it is only 15k people in the arena, so it's not like trying to escape the BOA traffic in Charlotte.

You can also save $15 on parking if you buy before you get there apparently. $40 if purchased at the lot.
