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

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
