    One of the best teams in the NCAA. If you are into college basketball and love Duke, this is where it is. Unfortunately, due to Cameron Indoor Stadium's small size, it fills up quickly and the tickets sell out fast.

    This is a AAA Minor Leauge Baseball team (a subsidary of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays). This is by the the best and only fun thing to truly do in Durham besides going to the mall. Tickets are extremely easy to come by, and are very cheap.

    Kitty Hawk Sports is the oldest watersports business on the Outer Banks and has been in continuous operation since 1981. It has 6 locations in Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Duck, and Corolla. It is is best known for its leadership in its windsurfing and kayaking programs and the variety of other water sports that it offers

    I haven't used any of the locations both because it was too cold when I was there, and because I'm not a surfing or beach type of person.

    The Panther Players are especially happy to give out souviner gloves or wristbands when they win a game!!

    Make sure to get a seat near the tunnel to have a chance to grab a souviner from your favorite players. Sections 105-108 is close to the Panther Tunnel and if you are a rival fan sections 134-137.

    Ericsson Stadium
    by b1bob
    The Carolina Panthers (National Football Conference: Southern division) play their home games at Ericsson Stadium in downtown Charlotte, NC. Since their founding in 1995, they have had lackluster seasons (2001 when they won only 2 games on 16) and great ones (1996 when they played the in the NFC championship game, 2003 when they played in- and almost won- Super Bowl 38) and everything in between.

    American football season begins in September and the regular season ends round about the New Year. The postseason runs through to the end of January. From October forward, it could get chilly especially for the late afternoon or night games.

    Fishing Charters

    by traveldave
    Due in part to the Gulf Stream bringing warm water up from the Caribbean Sea, the waters off North Carolina offer some of the best sea fishing in the world. All along the coast, dozens of charter companies and individuals offer fishing charters where fishermen can rent a boat to take them on a fishing trip. Charters can be tailored to meet a client's needs, and can last a few hours or a few days. Fishermen can also choose between inshore and offshore areas, depending on what kinds of fish they want to catch.

    Fish that can be caught in the inshore areas include speckled trout, gray trout, flounder, bluefish, red drum, striped bass, grouper, and snapper. Fish found in the offshore areas include yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, blue marlin, sailfish, dolphin (mahi mahi), king mackeral, Spanish mackeral, and wahoo.

    Riding in Smokey Mountain NP

    Riding in National Park
    by Florida999
    There are lots of stables in the Smokey Mountains and the trails are for the most part very nice. On the particular ride in the photo above from the Smokemont Riding stables, part of the trail went up a very narrow mountain path that was very wet, and the horses kept slipping. I was not very comfortable with this and would not ride up that particular trail again, unless it was dry.

    We liked the Nantahalla Village Riding Stables in Bryson City , but it's been a while since we were there. The guides were nice and didn't freak out as soon as you start trotting a little, and the group was spread out enough on the trail to make it fun.
    My biggest complaint about trail rides is that there seem to be none for people that do know how to ride, and even if you do, you are treated like someone that's never been on a horse at all. I wished they would offer like "advanced" or at least "intermediate" rides!!
