Right next to stadium is a huge, and I mean huge new green space called Carolina Park, or Old Farmers Market (goes by both), with not only reserved tailgate spots, but large open areas for anyone to visit with refreshments, tents by TWC with TV's, seats etc., sometimes live music etc etc. That is where you go to tailgate. Beautiful new area that cost tens of millions to build and is a huge success past two years. As for parking, pay your 10-20 bucks for any of several paid lots within a mile of stadium, get there early and you can park real close. Get there anywhere after three hours before kickoff, you will be a mile away. After parking, go to the public area of the Farmers Market next to stadium and enjoy.

Also, if you are a smooth talker and friendly, you will see several private "tailgate clubs" with bands, covered party spots, VT's etc., maybe you schmooze your way in, if you are real slick, you will walk up to the caboose area and party there as well, they are all nice folk, fear not. But you will have no problem walking into the new farmers market tailgate area and partying in the free/open to public area that has tents from many corporate sponsors like TWC etc
