Charlotte Hotels for Games

The Marriott Center City on E. Trade is really nice....very close to the stadium and has a Hooters right across the street!

Have stayed there a couple of times but on the down side this is where most of the Buc and Falcon fans stay when they come to town.

There is also a Courtyard by Marriott right up the street from the Huddle Tailgate as well as a Residence Inn right beside the stadium which is also down the street from the Tailgate. All of these hotels are going to be well over $100 per night but there is a cheaper Days Inn near Discovery Place on down from the Marriott Center City.

A lot of the visiting teams stay here as well.

This hotel is one of the nicest I have stayed her seven times and I only stay here when I can't get a room at the Marriot closest to the stadium. I personally met Julius Peppers at this hotel while he was getting his mom a room when the Panthers played the Colts a couple of years ago.

This is where I normally stay because of the proximity to the stadium.

I like the Westin. Might go with that.

What about the aloft Charlotte Uptown?

The Loft will appeal to your Euroishness. Hip spot and is at the Epicentere which has a lil bit of everything going on.

Somebody mentioned Ascot Inn. Shut down now. Now is the time to get a good deal on heart shaped tubs...:eek:

You can't be serious about that Days Inn! That place is a pretty much a crack house. I used to work next door and one day we watched a raid.

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
