Ms Jan,
Thanks for the info. I'm sorry to hear about your health. Did they take a chest xray? What type of URI did they say it was? Stay hydrated and sip on some echinacea tea periodically...should help recover quicker. So just to clarify, the Saints will be warming up towards endzone sections 119-123 and their tunnel will be b/w section 136-137? Also, do they allow digital cameras into the game? I appreciate the feedback Ms Jan and thanks for writing back and keeping me in mind.
 
Unless things have changed since last year, you can bring in any camera you want, except for a video camera. The gates will open at 11. If you are chasing autographs, that is the time to enter. In the past, stadium staff has let fans go down to the section next to the tunnel up until about noon, maybe a little later. At that point, you must leave so ticket holders can get their seats. I used to go in at that time and hit the tunnel, but now I stay in the parking lot and party until about 12:30.
 
Thanks JRead2. Can you suggest any place to park. I am coming to BOA for the first time and unfamiliar with the surroundings. I don't mind a short distance walk. Appreciate the help.
 
jaimun, no chest x-ray but I've had bronchitis several times & that is what the symptoms are....lots of chest congestion, bad cough, some nasal congestion. The EMT's took my blood pressure because I take medication for high blood pressure. I felt like I was going to pass out in the stands, also had a lot of nausea. They gave me an ice bag to keep cooled off. We finally left in the 3rd quarter due to my illness & the game being a blow out.

There are lots of parking lots to park in. The lots farther away are only $10. We paid $20 yesterday in a lot on South Tryon across from the Charlotte Observer building. It was about a 3-4 block walk. The trickiest part is getting through downtown Charlotte with all the construction going on. The usual exit we take off I-277 had a detour & we ended up in a part of Charlotte I was not familliar with. We just asked directions & got back on track.

Hope you can make to our tailgate.

this will be my first time in Charlotte as well for a game. we are driving up from Atlanta on the morning of the game. how do i get to the stadium coming in from I-85. Also what time does the tailgating begin? We are leaving Atlanta at 7am.
 
Ms Jan,
Good idea you left after the 3rd. Take good care of yourself. By the way, when do you start tailgating and at what location? Will it be the lot on South Tryon? We will try and make it but still don't know exactly when we will be leaving due to some work related issues. Anyways, hope to stay in touch.
 
possible flight/ticket package

Well it looks like my group of 14 may have dropped to 11 leaving us with three extra non-refundable flights (from MSY to CLT on Friday morning and returning on Monday morning) and three extra game tickets. I should know by the end of the day if those that dropped out will be able to fill the seats, and if not, I am offering the roundtrip flight and ticket for $315 per person. The flight is via AirTran and we got a group package, so the passenger names can be adjusted up to 24 hours prior to departure. The tickets are in section 522, row 17 and are part of 14 together, so the seats will be with Saints fans. If anyone thinks they may be interested, send me a PM.
 
Flight/Ticket Package

I only have one package (roundtrip flight from NO to Charlotte with Saints Ticket) left. anyone interested let me know.
