Saints @ Carolina (Oct. 19) (1 Viewer)

Normally, I stay at the Residence Inn, which is across from the stadium. This year (for the first time) they were full. I made a reservation at the Marriott in downtown. It's just a few blocks from the stadium and it's where the team has stayed the past few years. It also has a pretty nice sports bar on the ground floor. Charles Grant was in the bar last year and I got to speak to him.

Any idea when you will find out if you got the tickets or not? Do not want to book the room if tickets are not available.

I looked at the Marriott website and it shows one at Executive Park. Is this the one?

The hotel where the team usually stays and I am staying this year is Charlotte Marriott City Center - http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/cltcc-charlotte-marriott-city-center/

The one I usually stay in and the one we will tailgate across the street from is Residence Inn Charlotte Uptown - http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/cltru-residence-inn-charlotte-uptown/

As for a ticket update, I am at the mercy of the Carolina Panthers. I requested (and paid for) 35 tickets, but they haven't notified me yet if I got them. I emailed them again today for an update, but I haven't heard back yet.

We are debating on coming up Saturday and spend the night or driving up early Sunday morning. If we stay the night we will want to be as close as possible to the stadium. Maybe the below questions will help us make the decision.

1) Does Charlotte have a section similar to the French Quarter/Bourbon Street of New Orleans around the stadium? It does not have to have the strip clubs. We do not want to drive up there and spend the night sitting in the hotel room, but do not want to worry about getting a DWI either. So we are looking for something to do withing walking distance of the hotels.
2) How early do ya'll normally get together to tailgate?
3) Do ya'll normally have a get-together the night before?
4) I figured it would take about 3 1/2 hours to drive up from Mt. Pleasant, SC. Is this correct and are there any traffic issues I should consider? I am mainly concerned with how early we need to get there for a parking/tailgating spot.

Thanks,

Raymond
