A non trivial number sleep in campgrounds and then there is a large percentage that drive in the day of the race.

Apples & oranges...

And to the OP...

I don't think so. Much as it may pain me to say, NYC is a special enough place that it deserves special consideration. Chicago maybe but not Charlotte.

Chicago?? doubt it

Drive by the track today and tell me how many hotels on wheels you see.

Although I'm currently 8 time zones away and won't have a shot a driving by the track today, I am a Concord native. And I know there's no driving by the track when they all come in.

However, between Charlotte, the Concord Mills area, Gastonia, Rock Hill, etc, the area couldn't handle an influx of what - 60,000 out of towners? I call BS.

(I'm only guessing at the percentage of out of towners who will fill the stadium - I have no basis for this number)

I think we could easily spend a little money to rent some buses for our joke of public transportation.

I believe the super bowl brings in excess of 1M people into an area, most of whom are media and support. No way Charlotte has the transportation, dining, parking and lodging capacities for that large of a sudden in flux. The Jacksonville super bowl still gets bashed by the media because they couldn't handle it.

I stayed in Jacksonville for 4 days for the Superbowl and didn't see a big problem. Sure they had cruise ships parked in the river for hotels but I didn't see the big deal with it. All the events I attended were well done and a lot of fun. Admittedly it was the only Superbowl I have gone to though.

Personally I think the media bashed it because it didn't have the fancy restaurants,clubs, etc like some of the bigger cities do that they are used to blowing their spending accounts on. Besides, it was 90% Eagle fans everywhere so it was probably best that it wasn't in a nicer city.

This isnt about cold weather places getting a Superbowl.. this is about whatever NY wants, it gets

on ESPN they were saying NY needs the money it will bring and the attention to the new stadium

Since when does ANY city in the US not need an extra 500 million from tourist?? And since when did having a new stadium make you a sure thing to host a Superbowl.. Its all hype and lies b/c the media loves to bow down to the great "NY Media Market"

Charlotte will never host a Superbowl

      NextGen Passing Chart - Week 3

      last week the QB finished horrifically when the gimme ball was taken off the table.  Couldn't move the ball 1 yard when it mattered.  Bryce Young is a backup caliber QB.  The issue is the issue.  This game altered nothing in the Bryce convo.  It was a variant of last years AZ game only in this game the opposing QB was comically bad and they gifted us one.  The people calling out the O and the issue in Carolina....are making the most easy and in your face call.  It's not even in the realm of controversial in reality.  Bryce Young is not what any team wants at the QB spot.   We don't need to keep this silliness up past this year.

      wish the base look would just be Tmac and Tremayne outside w/ Renfrow in the slot.  For all the talk of Canales saying play the youth.....he shouldn't be putting his boy David Moore out there so heavily vs Tremayne.   Who might be this years Coker.

      I mean, Bryce did dig us a massive hole last week before playing well against soft D and then folding like a lawn chair when they had to start playing stingy again out of need. And we did play a team that turned the ball over at will yesterday while failing to do much as cross their own 30 yard line all game long allowing us to win 30-0 while passing for 121 yards and 0 TDs with a 5 yards per attempt average. I don't think we learned anything new about Bryce yesterday. Whatever you thought of him going into yesterday you probably still think.
