Try Sutton's Drug Store on Franklin. It opened in 1923 and is open for breakfast and lunch. Carolina Coffee Shop open for the same meals and started in 1922 and is the across the street. Sutton's is no longer a drug store as of 2014 and Coffee Shop hasn't been a coffee shop since before my time. Sup...

I hope so. I've been going for years and have never noticed a box score with an attendance figure over 4100 even when a sellout was announced, but maybe this weekend it will happen. I know I'm locked in on those UNC vs. LSU matchups :cool:...

I'm a season ticket holder who purchased all session tix before the regional was announced. My tickets hit my account just over an hour ago. Assuming that is true of others, as there are many on SeatGeek now. Cheapest are $9 for Game 1. [link=(https://seatgeek.com/ncaa-baseball-chapel-hill-region...
[quote]Well I don’t know how many show up for Lacrosse, but the stadium was packed pretty good the other night when they played Wake Forest in the semifinals of the ACC baseball tournament.[/quote] Almost 10K, one of the best crowds in NC college baseball history. Not much in BR but impressive he...
[quote]Tickets for game 4 will be over 50 a piece. Not sure how many lsu will get, but your going to have to pay 300 plus for the weekend. [/quote] I sold some of my Saturday season tickets versus VT and Louisville for around 30 bucks a pop, so I think the potential UNC/LSU tickets should be con...

[quote]Is the AC hotel is walkable to the ballpark? It looks that way from the map. Im bringing my 11 year old son, so was trying to find a hotel where we can park and walk everywhere. Appreciate the insight[/quote] It's a mile or so from the ballpark. With a kid, it might take a while but the...

[quote]If open a trip to the Dean Dome is worth the time. Makes Rupp look small time....admittedly an anti Kentucky bias, tho. [/quote] It might be your last chance to see the Dome as well. There is chatter about tearing it down and replacing it, or perhaps doing a complete rebuild. It's not att...

[quote]I just noticed what else is at Franklin and Columbia, a Raising Cane’s. [/quote] They just moved in recently. One of the best locations in CH for sure. A lot of people weren't thrilled that a chain has that spot, but I'm looking forward to trying it. Never been to a Raising Cane's before...

[quote]It’s okay for fields to have character and not all have cookie cutter symmetries. I’ve been to games there, it’s a nice place. [/quote] Boshamer is a classic brick green chairback stadium. Not enormous but a really nice place to watch a game (though as noted, the sun can be a problem)....

Breakdown of UNC's lineup: Vance Honeycutt is the headliner. Two time ACC DPOY at center and twice a 20/20 guy. Lots of power and speed but there is a lot of strikeout in his game too. Casey Cook was a singles hitter last season who has almost 20 jacks/ 75 RBIs this year. Plays a solid left fi...

[quote]What’s tailgating like on the campus? I hope there aren’t a lot of restrictions, because LSU likes a good tailgate. [/quote] For baseball there isn't much tailgating. If LSU fans want to they can set up on Stadium Drive on Saturday and Sunday and the Raleigh Road Lot on 54 could be a goo...
