You can't attend a college football game in Charlotte, well for now anyways.
Actually you can. We have JCSU in the CIAA football. This division 2 NCAA conference is actually quite competitive and has alot of historical significance. JCSU and Livingstone played the first HBCU football game in history.
I think you are forgetting that Epicentre (and the block around Epicentre) is not a finished product. There is quite a bit of construction in that area. Bank of America is building a 30 story office tower. H&M and Bang & Olufsen might be coming to that area. Epicentre might get a condo tower built on top of it (one of these days ). In short, Epicentre and its general area is still very much so in its infancy.
Also (as one poster has already pointed out) Epicentre is quite busy from Wed-Sat night. This past Tuesday, there was a loooong line of people waiting to get into Whisky River sometime around midnight. Yeah, on a Tuesday night. It makes you wonder, when do some of these folks go to work?
I guess I am not the only 2nd and 3rd shifter here in the QC lol!
Don't forget, NCMF has opened recently as well, so things are looking up for the QC in terms of continually adding to its nightlife scene. Btw, how are things on Sundays, I rarely go down to Charlotte on Sundays, its usually Saturdays that I venture down there, and I know how busy it gets on Saturdays, it is usually crowded.
A little over 9 million. Close to half of that population is within both, Charlotte and Raleigh CSAs.
Yea I thought so...I saw a photograph of the whole city of Charlotte from Ericson Stadium to the Hearst Tower and the photographer had written some stuff below it. It said about six million people reside within ten miles of Charlotte. I don't know how old it was but I dont think its called Ericson Stadium anymore... Thanks

You aren't missing much on Sundays. There are some clubs and bars open in Charlotte on Sundays. However, the streets are DEAD when compared to Wed-Saturday. Club Crush (it is now "Club Ice") used to be packed on some Sunday nights. Since the name change, I haven't noticed anyone there on Sundays. The place actually looks closed now on Sundays.
On a brighter note, "Club Savoy 2002" on Brookshire was FREAKING PACKED this past Sunday night. The club ran out of parking space so people were using Burger King, the ABC store, and a nearby gas station's parking lot. It was an amazing sight for midnight on a Sunday night.
In time, Charlotte will become a true 24-7 party spot. There seems to be alot of push from city leaders to make this a reality. More nights to party is certainly a welcome sight IMO.
If you like the stereotype of Texas then Charlotte is for you.
If you like the stereotype of California, then Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill is your cup of tea.
I as well am curious as to what you are alluding to. I think maybe political type of cities may be what you mean as well. I also wonder if you could be talking in reference to economies. I am not sure, please do explain.
