My buddy is the head of the Charlotte Bills Backers Club. He asked me to pass this on to fellow Bills fans that are planning on attending the Bills-Panthers game in Charlotte. I know its early but they only have 50 rooms reserved if you prefer to stay uptown and its right next to the stadium. From my understanding a lot of people from a few Bills Backers Clubs is coming into town for this game so there will be a ton of Bills fans at the game.
I may be able to get a couple extra tickets to that game if you do not already have tickets.

Here is the note from Ed:
HI FELLOW BILLS FANS: If you're coming to Charlotte for the Bills vs. Panthers...here is the pre-game party and hotel info:
SATURDAY NIGHT: A pre-game party has been planned at:
The Township Grille (5:30pm to close)
10400 Independence Blvd., Independence, NC. Tel: 704-847-2480
This is the Charlotte Bills Backers official game viewing location. The bar can hold 175 people. Great Wings, Fish Fry, and Beef on Weck. It's a direct route from downtown (about 20 min.drive).
SUNDAY MORNING TAILGATE:
The Township Grille
10400 Independence Blvd., Matthews, NC. Tel: 704-847-2480
The day of the game we will have a buffet of wings, hot dogs, ziti meatball, salads, chips and 2 drink tickets for beer, tea, and soda. Plus, beverages on the bus for tailgating at the game. The Buffet will be from 11am to 2pm and then we have hired buses to carry everyone to and from the game. The cost of tailgate party and bus will be $45.00ea.Call the Township directly to reserve your spot - 704-847-2480. If you don't want to ride the bus..ask about a "party only" price.
HOTELS:
We have blocked rooms at:
The Hampton Inn
9515 Independence Blvd., Independence, NC. Reservations: 704-841-1155
This is a suburban location about 2 blocks from the Township Grill and 20 mins. from downtown. Call direct for reservations and request Code BBG - $89 per night. This rate is good until Oct 1.
As an alternative for those visiting fans who would prefer to stay in downtown Charlotte closer to the stadium, we have negotiated a great rate at:
Marriott Courtyard City Center (4 blocks from the Stadium)
237 S. Tyron Street, Charlotte, NC. Reservations: 704-926-5800 or 888-839-1758.
The Buffalo Bills Fans rate is $115 per night including free wi-fi. We have only blocked 50 rooms so please call early. This rate is good until Sept 30.
This is the only hotel close to the stadium that also has an outdoor pool area -ideal for those fans who want to gather and celebrate before or after the game. Like some other cities, this stadium is not suited for traditional tailgating, so the outdoor pool could be a great location to meet with fellow fans from the Pinto Kenny/Aussie/NY/West Coast Backers group
The B of A stadium is in the city center of Charlotte surrounded by many restaurants, bars, shops etc. So you have a big choice of activities right within walking distance..
At this time, we are looking for an additional location for a Saturday night party downtown. We urge you to support the Saturday night party at the Township Grille. Yes - they might be a little further from the city center, but we can share cabs from downtown. However, because they cannot accommodate more than 175 people and we have often had 200-400 at our Saturday night parties, we may need to arrange for a 2nd location. Watch this site for more announcements or email us in early October.
See you in Charlotte! Let's go Buffalo!
