Belk Bowl

Enjoyed the game, too many commercials on jumbo screen, not enough replays

Great time! Great seats! Go hogs!! The employees and staff we AWESOME. Everyone was so friendly and helpful when we needed anything. They even had shuttles back and forth to our cars. We also went to the Music City bowl in Nashville. This was 100s times better. From the stadium, to the people, to the city itself. The people are awesome! No comparison between the two bowl games. If you had to choose one, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO.

We enjoyed every minute. From Pep Rally to after game celebration.

Great venue, beautiful city to visit. I would plan on spending at least game day plus two.

Great game ... until Duke lost. Amazing seats! Front row at Bank of America Stadium, woot!

I'm a longtime UNC fan and to see Duke lose it at the end was classic.

Great game, great venue, great city....I would go back again....only thing bad was it was really cold in the 2nd half, but I'm sure the 6:30 Thurs night kickoff is best for tv ratings

Rainy day for a bowl game. Too expensive to go again next year.

Miserable conditions. Team lost. On the upside we stayed out of the rain all evening.

The pre-game events were awesome! Loved the chance to see Carrie Underwood Live! (hey - next time set up the stage at the bottom of the hill instead of the top so the people in the back might have a chance to see the artist - and not just on the big screen). The game was awesome and Belk had lots of extras for the fans like free face painting and you weren't even allowed to tip. If you have the power to change the weather next time that's the only thing that could have made it better:) Nachos at snack bar outside section 125 were AMAZING and fed 3 of us for $10. Mississippi State Won, so this bulldog was very happy!

Couldn't do anything about the weather. I felt bad that Carrie Underwood had to perform in the pouring rain. Overall they did a good job, but we were really hoping to see Virginia Tech. We bought tickets in the hopes of seeing Frank Beamer's last game. It would have been nice if the Belk Bowl would have publicized the ACC rules preventing them from selecting Virginia Tech.

Venue, facility, and fan fest were all great and good value for the price of ticket. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative, but the day was fun and fans were festive!

Our first bowl game was fun day even though it was raining. We had a very enjoyable time at the game.

Weather was terrible due to rain, however we can not control Mother Nature. Through all this we really enjoyed ourselves. Bank of America stadium is a great venue for sporting events. The college atmosphere was great. Looking forward to next year.

Awesome! Great seats and even the rain didn't stop us from coming. HailState

Great time. My team didn't win but the purpose was to spend time with my father. That was successful.

This is the second year in a row my son and I have attended the Belk Bowl. This year we sat in the Club Level seats which were very good, especially since the weather was a little chilly. We really enjoy the stadium and the city!

I got tickets as a Christmas present. The stadium was clean and the fan fest had lots of fun activities, including face painting, food, coffee/hot chocolate tent (which was great because it was cold!) There was also a Miranda Lambert concert. A great time was had by all.

the seating was great. the crowd was courteous facilities were top notch

Bathrooms and concessions were 20 feet away. Great seats.

Excellent seats for a great venue!!! The SEC/ACC match up was extra ordinary great choice of teams for this annual event!!!

I wish this bowl game was played in a warmer climate.

It was my first ever college game. And my first bowl game obviously and it was an awesome experience.

Had fun going to a bowl game with my son; he's not a football fan. The Bank of America stadium is a good fit for this bowl. UGa won over UofL. My team did not play. The teams competed well to the end.

This was a great game! The two teams were pretty evenly matched so it made for a good football game.

We left early because of the fans - 1. you had to stand to watch the game 2. we were in the middle of some drunks who beginning to harass fans of the other team - they came that way.

I got these tickets for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift because he is a huge UGA fan and he loved that he got to go to the game!!! We had so much fun together!!!

My boyfriend and I had an awesome time at the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, NC at the Panthers Stadium. No problems with the parking, great concert by Miranda Lambert, great seats in the stadium and the GA Bulldogs won!!!!! What more can I say?

Great venue to watch a football game. Really nice stadium in Charlotte. Felt very safe walking downtown to the game. Would definately go again. Go Dawgs!!

My first college football game, great experience that i plan to make a yearly routine of now.

great seats for cost had never been to stadium before,stadium workers were very kind to us and also had daughter in tar heel band go heels

Great game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The staff was friendly. Enjoyed every moment and enjoy the seating did not move to lower level.

Go to the Belk Bowl. It's only going to get better with the SEC replacing the American as the opponent for the ACC in 2014. Bank of America Stadium is a decent enough venue and it might be your last chance to see college football in person until next fall.

The overall experience was cool. But the game itself was a wash. We left in 3rd quarter because it was cold, and we were sucking. The city of Charlotte is a fun place, other than drunk homeless men bothering you from time to time.

Downtown Charlotte was fun, restaurants and bars were accomodating, the events before the game were fun and entertaining, the venue is an awesome stadium to watch a game, our only complaint was with attendance. A larger crowd would have added to the bowl atmosphere.

Everything about the day turned out great. The pre-game concert was enjoyed by everyone and the football game certainly was enjoyed by UNC fans.

What a great weekend. We went as a house divided with each of our kids having graduated from UNC and Cincinnati. The facilities, fan events (especially Blake Shelton's concert), the Hyatt and city of Charlotte were great. The local restaurants we enjoyed also catered to the fan experience. City Smoke, Blue were especially tasty. Everything was within walking distance making it very convenient. Our only disappointment was the low turnout by UNC fans and putting up with the exorbitant food/beverage prices in the stadium. UC fans were everywhere!

We had a great time at the Belk Bowl! The seats were great, the game was amazing, and the company was the best! Panther Stadium was clean and the employees were attentive and professional!

Best bowl game ever! The venue, Charlotte and our seats were incredible!

After finding parking about a quarter mile down the road from the stadium, my friend and I walked through the rain to the North entrance. Upon arriving at the entrance we were greeted by a mean looking employee who was literally yelling at everyone to remove everything from their pockets. His tone of voice sounded angrier than a pleasant employee. After getting through security, my friend and I made our way up to the 500 level to our seats. When we got to our level we began walking around towards our section (538). When we were walking in between sections 535/536, I saw a member of the stadium personal literally sitting on the ground, not saying a word to people but just smiling as he stared off into nothing. I was startled how he was simply doing nothing but smiling and staring. Once we got to our seats things got better because the game had started. Overall, the attitudes of many employees, particularly the entrance and security ones, was very poor. The professionalism of other employees was lacking as well, as was the case with the person sitting on the floor. Good football though!

This was a Christmas present to my son,7 years old. We had a lot of fun and our seats were great!

Sponsored tailgate games with mascots and prizes during the Fan Fest was attractive entertainment for families that would enjoy this sporting event most. Increasing the hook ups for free phone recharges with some way of warming up while you wait is recommended. Another source of musical entertainment to compliment the event would be acts that Smiles Charity has booked. Having a Fan Fest was a great way to spread out traffic accumulation, while police and security handled very graciously and professionally the exiting traffic. The Fan Fest was endearing when anecdotes were shared about how the ACC vs. SEC teams were chosen. I look forward to future involvement. To convince more people to brave the possible weather in an outdoor bowl game, I recommend offering heated seats! Thanks so much for providing an exciting opportunity for good times and memories to end each year.

Awesome venue, beautiful Carolina weather, great football game!

decent game - UNC fans were vocal and supported. Cincy didn't play that well. Loved both bands. Stadium staff was very helpful as usual. The replay system was outstanding. Quality excellent. Our 8 bowl game out of the 12 - looking forward to the next. Attendance was very disappointing.

Was a good game to attend and a great experience. It is the first bowl game that I had a chance to attend, and went down from Indianapolis to see it.

My son and I really enjoy college football and like watching the Belk Bowl at Bank of America Stadium. This year's game was really entertaining. No better place to watch the game from the Club Level, as you can go inside and get out of the elements whenever you want.

The bowl game was awesome!! The extended wait to check in when the weather was extremely cold and the confusion created by some of the staff at the entrance about when and how to check bags was frustrating; however, once inside, the atmosphere was generally good. The stadium concession stands were excellent and the food was great.

This years game was insane. Arkansas leads 24 to 0 at half and Hokie fans are reeling. Then Hokies find a way to score 35 in second half and win! Stadium was very convenient to many Hotels and Bars making it a walkable experience. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly city. of Charlotte..

The game was great because I saw my school mount the biggest comeback in school history, but the tickets obviously priced many fans out of the game. The Belk Bowl prides themselves on being a bowl that applied to be a New Years Six Bowl, but the most entertaining thing to do around the stadium was to go to a restaurant, get food, and watch other bowls finish up. Then, inside the stadium, the atmosphere was something that two proud fan bases were not used to: a stadium that did not even reach half capacity. This bowl pulls from two conferences chock full of great fan bases that, for the most part, are not far away from Charlotte; this game should be packed and vendors should be lining up to provide pregame festivities outside of the stadium. On another note, having Tim McGraw was great, but showing his concert all over the city on screens did not incentivize him to put on a great show for those actually in the stadium. I think the Belk Bowl can be vastly improved by not pricing families and students out of the game and expanding the area around the stadium that has pregame events; price needs to go down, value needs to go up, or both.

The Belk Bowl was incredible - perfect day! I have been to a few bowl games and the Belk Bowl is now my favorite.

The Belk Bowl was a great game! Even though my team lost! We will be back again!

This was our first trip to a college football bowl game. We got to see part of the Tim McGraw concert as well.

The fanfest and concert and other activities for fans were great and organized very well and easy to get too. Tickets were relatively reasonable. The only negatives was the process to get tickets for the concert and parking which is a challenge with any very large event.

After a dismal first half the Hokies turned it around like never before. Stadium is well laid out and everyone working there was so friendly.

Ticketmaster was very helpful and accomadating!! We ended up needing to switch seats prior to the game, and the representatives at Ticket Master helped us to do so!

The game was good. The stadium is nice. The game was colder than we expected so plan on it being a cold game.

Great Game and even better that Virginia tech got the win

Tim McGraw was amazing and VT was unbelievable. 2ND BELK BOWL we have attended

The coaching staff did an excellent job of keeping the players focused and positive!

Great time! Thank you Belk Bowl for supporting Charlotte.

Lots of parking around the stadium, great venue and easy to get into

The concert before the game was absolutely amazing, along with the number of companies that were there promoting their business. The stadium was very structured and easy to get around, not to mention the game was awesome. Go Hokies!!!

This was a well organized event, packed full of fan fun. Parking could have been clearer but with all the construction nearby maybe they had to block off the lots.

Great facility. Upper concourse had almost zero concessions open...bad. Good field view even for upper deck...good. Was not aware of some security aspects and lost favorite pocket knife (had to surrender)...bad. Loved new escalators...good. Concession prices are anti-fan experience (but typical of a pro venue)...bad. Great jumbo tron but only showed replays once, even if play was under review....bad.

Stayed downtown and was able to walk to the stadium(short walk). Enjoyed exploring the Skymall, the bars and restaurants downtown. I wish the weather could have been better though. Stadium was a great venue for a game.

It was sufficient. I enjoyed it very much even though it rained.

Stadium was great... The entire event was great even in the rain.
