University of North Carolina Tar Heels Football

It seems every year this bowl game has a great match-up resulting in a close game. I was disappointed that at least 1/3 of the stadium was empty...maybe lower ticket prices will result in larger crowds and therefore more overall income in concessions and overall ticket sales. I try to go to different bowl games each year (this was my 8th different bowl game) and this facility provided for a very enjoyable experience.

Other than the fact that the Heels lost by 2 points, my husband and I were impressed by this event. Our seats in the club section were extremely comfortable. We have season tickets to the Tar Heel football games, but never get to enjoy the luxury of backs on our seats or being able to walk about 50 feet to get some snacks with virtually no line. Being 8 months pregnant, this game was so much fun because of the comfort. A win would have made it perfection!

Overall great but I picked the Big East Side but we were surrounded by NC fans... next time put us in the Pitt section.

Good opportunity to see a bowl game outside of your typical areas. Cheap seats are a good value but seats are sold in clusters to give the impression of a full venue. We were stuck in an almost full section of rowdy college kids, but we dodged the ushers to sit in an empty section. Wish there was some sort of brochure or giveaway to differentiate this event from a Panthers game and to have as a souvenier.

Other than the final score, this was the perfect game to take my son to see his first college football game.

RBC Pep rally was in a mud hole. Could not visit vendors without getting muddy. The emcee was partial to Pittsburgh and left when the UNC band played. The day after Christmas is a terrible choice for a game date. This was extremely obvious with all of the empty seats in the upper deck. When the band played for half-time, the acoustics were terrible and even in the lower area it was not even audible. Plus, the Pittsburgh band did not even come on the field. Fans did not seem welcome in the arena. It is just another event for Charlotte not very special or exciting. UNC played the usual game and threw the timely and costly interception.

Our family has attended each of the bowl games in Charlotte since they began. This was our worst experience by far. The fans in our area were drunk, vulgar, hostile, inconsiderate and overwhelmingly provocative. After repeated requests to tone down their comments and language we were met with more of the same to the point of confrontation and moving to a different area of the stadium. Additionally $20 to park is ridiculous. I doubt we will attend what use to be a family holiday event for us.

Great seats at a great price. Great game. Ticketmaster delivered tickets well in advance of event.

The 2009 Meineke Bowl was fantastic!!! It was a great opportunity for me to share the excitement and experience of a bowl game with my 10 year old and his friends without breaking the bank!!! Next year I will go again!!!

Out of the 5 years going to games at BOA Stadium, I've never been so close to the feild. Section 130, 4th row was awsome! Regular tickets would have cost me a fortune, but I got two tickets under $150. Not to mention I bought these tickets a week before the game.

We had a great time at the game! The food was fine and had a lot of fun. Just wish a different team had won!

because Pitt won LOL. However, the fan atmosphere could be a little bit better.

Very exciting game. Very nice stadium. Very enjoyable event.

Game was exciting. UNC got hosed again. 4th down offsides should have been a false start on Pitt. Did not enjoy NC State fans at the game pulling for Pitt. Disappointed to see UNC play so hard and have that call as well as poor coaching decisions beat them. Just made a frustrating season more frustrating. Ruined my Christmas.

It was a good game to watch but I wish Carolina had won. It was fun to sit on the lower level since I normally sit on the upper level for Carolina Panther games.

The pre-game activities were not very good--very muddy. Costs in the stadium were terrible (7.00 personal pan pizza). Band performance was terrible at half-time. Overall, game was good.

The Meineke Car Care Bowl was a great game. We really enjoyed the very competitive game. The weather was not bad, although on the cold side, it was not windy. The game came down to the last few seconds to determine a winner. We had a great time. Bank of America stadium is also a great place to watch a game at. The views from the upper level are great.

great event, enthusiastic crowd, marvelous venue!! only criticisms-very little support from the city of charlotte in the way of transportation. why not provide shuttle buses from concord mills or lowes speeday from the north and carowinds from the south to make it easier to get tot he stadium? also, food and beer prices in stadium were outrageous. eat before you go. $6.25 for a bottle of beer is ridiculous.

The game was a good one although for the 2nd straight year Carolina loses. The staff was amazing as always. Had a great time and may attend next yr if carolina is there and has a shot.

Charlotte was hospitable, parking was easy, and everything was great, except for the attendance (you should NOT invite a team 2 years in a row), and the result of the game. Also, please do NOT schedule the game on December 26. A weekday is better than the day after Christmas. Most of us have family obligations, and would rather take vacation time from work to attend a weekday BOWL game.

The crowd was smaller than last year but likely because it was the day after Christmas. There was a large UNC crowd and a moderate Pitt contengent. The game was close and not a run-away and entertaining. This was my third Meineke Bowl and I will likely go again next year as it is convenient and affordable.

The Meineke Car Care Bowl is one of the best non BCS bowls around. Good matchups and always well organized. Easy access to / from stadium, plenty of parking, and good people to help you if needed.

game was real good and but i would have to see the matchup for next year before I bought a ticket.
