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

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Some people will shift the goal posts but he does still have to consistently help the team win, eventually. Not only help but be the reason. That's what franchise QB's do.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      One of the Carolina Panthers' newest defenders thinks their pass rush can go from worst to first. ESPN's David Newton recently chatted with outside linebacker Pat Jones II, who signed with the Panthers as a free agent earlier this offseason. Jones comes over from an awfully impressive Minnesota Vikings defense—one that ranked first in takeaways (33), fourth in sacks (49) and second in QB pressure rate (44.4 percent) this past season. And despite a historically-bad campaign by Carolina's defense in 2024, the 26-year-old seems to believe his new unit can be similar—or even better—than his last. "I definitely think we could do something similar, if not better," Jones said, via Newton. "I've seen it before, so I know what it looks like. I look around the building and see we have exactly what it takes to do that." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/24/panthers-pat-jones-vikings-espn/83840667007/?taid=683219b347846900018fa10a&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter     It's the offseason.  Let hope spring eternal. (actually, I think we are much closer than this board thinks)

      5 total TDs against the Falcons was pretty good efficiency and he showed that ability to go off scripts and get 2 of those TDs rushing.  How many times did he deliver big time throws against pressure.  I agree we need to see this offense operate at high efficiency which starts with Bryce. When he does I hope the goals posts won’t shift to some other stat like QB sneaks lol
