UNCC Parking

Where is everyone parking on Friday?

I'm looking to get to Charlotte by 2/3:00 in the afternoon on Friday and am worried we will run into lots being not open due to normal M-F 9-5 parking hours.

Do any of our Charlotte people have recommendations / suggestions?

Copying in Gonzos recommendation from another thread. Theres tons of parking garages in downtown and then walk. For the ECU game, we found ample parking off West Morehead at various buildings and not expensive, either free or less than $20. Granted that was 4 inflation years ago.

heres a map of the blue line. You can park at various stops both north and south and ride for a few bucks.

Pregame:
"The French Quarter" (colloquially the name of the entire strip of bars although "French Quarter" is the name of one of the actual bars in the alley) is my favorite pre-game spot for games at BOA. It's just across Church St from Romare Bearden Park. Very fun area. You can walk around with open containers, it's like a small alley that leads into Latta Arcade, which contains some small restaurants. An absolute must-go for a group of 21-22 year olds who have never been to a game uptown. They added a ton of outdoor TVs recently. It's incredible. The only time it isn't the most fun option in the area is if it's too crowded.

I'm not sure if it will be open for a non-Panther's game, but Dog House is right on the other side of Morehead from the stadium. Another fun spot.

There's a brewery a little further back towards South End near Dog House called Hopfly that's decent.

On the other side of the stadium (away from the city) is a bar called Clutch that's decent and pretty popular. It's just completely isolated so if you were looking to pop around and see a lot, I don't think going there would be very efficient.

Parking:
There are dozens of lots that will be between $20-80 per car, depending on proximity. You can find some cheap spots to park if you don't mind scootering or ubering to the BOA Stadium area. If you're staying the night Friday night I highly recommend grabbing a lyft instead of parking uptown.

If you must park uptown for the game, this lot (667 W 4th St, Charlotte, NC 28202 -- google maps calls it "Preferred Parking Lot # 705 E. Trade) is the best value, IMO. Before my kids were born we tailgated for the Panthers games for many years and this was by far the cheapest I found this close to the stadium. There's a little path next to the Panther's practice facility that makes it a 5 mins walk. I bet it's $30 for a game like this, but I'm not sure.

Anyone participating in the Alumni events throughout the week?

Depending on where you’re coming in from, you can park at one of the light rail stations and ride into Uptown. I’m south of Charlotte so I always park at the South Blvd station. Much easier than dealing with parking near uptown.

I was looking and bought a spot at 604 S Cedar Street but that appears to be in the middle of UNCC's Student tailgate. Now I am looking for an alternative. Does App have a site like this? https://app.charlotte49ers.com/DukesMayoClassic

I am not worried about finding parking Friday night. Better question for me is are there any lots that will allow tailgating? I remember when we played ECU at Bank of America, most of the lots did not allow tailgating until after 5. But, that was on a Thursday so it may be different on a Friday. Does anybody have any insight to that?
