We plan to do the double Charlotte/Tampa.
Headquarter in Tampa, go to Charlotte on showday and the next day back to Tampa. But we`re very afraid of the cancellations of fligths from/to CLT. Last year on our "missed" tour(Miami,Jax, Houston and New Orleans, on the original dates), we stranded two times in Charlottebtw. now we know a hotel close to the stadium , because we had to stay in Charlotte ...
Some thoughts or alternative travel advices ?

Looks like in june/july I'll be in Charlotte for the 1st time,
but somehow I've been talking with friends about a specific bar for years already.
The Thirsty Beaver Saloon!

Too early to talk about where to meet up before the show? I'm from Raleigh, NC but I have friends in Charlotte who recommended these places near the stadium:
The Dog House
Unknown Brewery
Whiskey Warehouse
French Quarter
Thoughts?

Charlotte is a small downtown ("uptown" I think they call it) area, just 8 x 8 blocks. Everything is walking distance 10 minutes. It should be possible to find a nice place to meet, with large space, beers on the tap, and decent food. My only requirement is not loud music, I just hate it when I can't talk and do not hear because they play loud, also if the aircon is at freezing point it is a nightmare.
I checked the places mentioned above. The only one inside what I call the 8x8 block downtown (uptown) Charlotte area is this place:
French Quarter Restaurant, South Church Street, Charlotte, NC, USA
It looks good for me, but personally I would like to see the place in person before I would like to make it my favorite joint. Arriving 1-2 days before the show, I would be happy to look into places and do a recommendation here.

Well I hear that bar is just a couple of blocks away from the venue, so it will be jam packed on show day. I am sure we will find a better place once we get closer to show day.
