DISCLAIMER: I only ready the thread title, so I hope this is the correct response.

Charlotte is unique in its genericness.

 

recently, someone showed me a very basic skyline and asked me if I knew what it was. My only thought was it looks so basic maybe Charlotte. I was correct.

The only advice I can offer is that if you're a betting man, bet the Bills to beat the spread in that game.

I now live in NC as well.

 

On the hunt for three tickets.

 

GO BILLS!

Why are there so many WNY'ers in North Carolina?

 

My cousin moved there as a young adult in the late 80's from Fredonia since he said he heard they had plenty of jobs, whereas the job outlook in the Southern Tier was bleak.

Because haven't you heard that 98 degrees with 90% humidity and basically having 2 weather seasons is so much better than Buffalo? Plus in Charlotte you could be impacted by a hurricane! They're way less destructive than a snowstorm 🙄

 

P.s. I live here lol

She's in Greenwood ... we joined a group for the Washington game a couple of years ago and that was definitely the way to attend an away game. Simplified the ticket purchasing process for us. I would love to have info for the Columbia group!

It's a FaceBook Group - Bills Backers of the Midlands (can't post a link for some reason).

The time of Western New York's demise go inside it with the rise of North Carolina, the infrastructure of North Carolina was primed for growth. Charlotte unfortunately did not plan far enough ahead unlike the Piedmont triad. Raleigh is just a mess.

Raleigh and Durham both a mess unchecked growth and no infrastructure.  thousands of homes and town homes going up in southeast durham and barely 2 lane roads to support them.  Plus inadequate fire, police, restaurants etc.

I live in Charlotte but was out of town the day the schedule officially came out.  Friends were telling me local news and radio was specifically imploring Panthers fans don't sell their Bills game tickets.

 

They know......

Interesting take.  I've lived here since '98 and can't say I agree.  I'm on the border of Durham and Chapel Hill.  Does any town ever get the roads right before the population explodes?  Kinda just the way it is.  Restaurant scene in Durham and Chapel Hill is excellent.

Durm is the benefit of Duke, the best school in a 15 mile radius.

 

That western area is well organized for commuting compared to the northeast, laurinburg area, and wake Forrest. The south is just now catching up. With Sanford growing fast and now the Disney village just south of the RDU that area is going to continue to explode. If you haven't heard of the Disney village, just wait.

 

Also the high speed rail system between RDU and CLT is going to get the commute via train in under 75 minutes is the goal.

much better on that part of town than over in southeast durham all we have is brier creek area.

For What it's worth.

 

I live in NC now and I am looking for three tickets.

 

Thanks!

North Davidson (NoDa) area of Charlotte is amazing and very much not generic...but agree overall it's a pretty generic city. They also have pretty solid public transportation and there's a lot to do...if we hadn't moved to raleigh, Charlotte would have been a very likely option, and back in 2015 or so we came very close from moving from Ft Lauderdale to Charlotte and would have lived in NoDa, but I ended up getting a good job in FtL and ended up moving out of Florida in 2020 so we could actually see family up in NYS

 

Long way of me saying NoDa is amazing and I just learned recently that you can take a $29 one way amtrak from raleigh to Charlotte and kids under 12 ride half price

I live in Northern NY, but our daughter lives in SC. We are planning on going to visit her and attend the Carolina game. Are there any Carolina Bills Backers groups that do a group of tickets? That would save us watching prices, etc. Plus we'd be sitting with other Bills fans. Any advice is great ... thanks!

I went to our last Panthers game in 2017 when Zay Jones dropped the game winning TD/first down with a few seconds left.

Their club is very nice. Carpeted concourse, some parts have A/C, etc. I would suggest that area. Most Backer groups buy the cheapest tickets possible which put you starting directly in the Carolina sun and its HOT.
