My first thought is that the roads leading into Porter's Neck have limited capacity. Porter's Neck Road is is a two-lane residential road. I think they would need remote parking and buses to handle crowds of spectators.
Any other thoughts on the issues facing the Wilmington infrastructure?

wilmington is used to having television cameras around due to the movie scene in the area. I am not sure how many people a PGA tournament would bring in, but do you think it would be any more than the amount of tourists that visit during the summer, or the azalea festival?
