So I'm trying to come into NC for the Bears game from California. My brother lives in Wake Forest and I'll be staying with him Friday and Saturday night, but I'm trying to inconvenience him as little as possible. Me and my lady will be flying in Friday and leaving Monday. I'm thinking of flying in to Raleigh-Durham, and flying out of Charlotte. I can then just rent a car Sunday morning to come out to the tailgate, watch the game, and then drop the car off Sunday night. Is this a good plan of attack? What hotels are close to the area? Where can I find a place that is good to eat and has good beer close to the stadium? Any help you locals could give me would be greatly appreciated.

priceline a hotel in downtown charlotte, you got plenty of time and they'll all be very close to the stadium. I know Courtyard by Marriott can almost be seen from our tailgate lot. There are tons others I'd honestly just priceline it though.

Pretty sure the Hilton downtown has a rental car kiosk in it as well. Beer places there are tons of so don't worry about that.

Beware of the Raleigh to Charlotte drive. Although on a map it doesn't look that far, truth is, there's no easy, short way to get to Charlotte from Raleigh.

Why am I thinking of the pawn shop from Pulp Fiction mixed with Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs?

And, based on that statement, you might not want to travel any backroads...

My daughter & son-in-law make this drive a few game days every year. It's not a bad drive until you get past Salisbury on I-85 south. Otherwise it's a pretty wide open ride and now cuts off a great deal of road where you never see Greensboro. Find a fast pack of cars and stay with them. They're going to the game too. 540 to 40 is the sweetest drive in Raleigh.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
