Raleigh Recommendations
Some friends of Team A-Game have provided some bar and restaurant suggestions in Raleigh. “If you like Irish, there is RiRa's, but staying on Hillsborough Street is great — multiple options with no franchise stuff!”
Hillsborough Street Highlights:
Porter's Tavern (Click here for a review.) “It's a nicer restaurant that still gets a walk-up crowd.”
Mitch's Tavern (Click here for a review.)
Sports Bars:

Previous Trips to N.C. State
Team A-Game made the trip in 2001, 2003 and 2005. 2001 and 2003 were unforgettable trips, ranking among our best tailgate/gameday experiences ever. Pack QB PhiLLLLip Rivers was always UM's Player of the Game in those days. 2005 also was a good time despite the loss. Our experience has been that Wolfpack fans aren't as welcoming as their neighbors in Chapel Hill, but they bring more energy to the stadium. A lot of the fans, in the lower bowl at least, stand for much of the game. Fans standing and cheering for their team at a college football game — imagine that!
