If you’re loco for the Panthers, take your cat scratch fever full steam ahead with NC by Trains fan train rides.

On the prowl for a live home Panthers game without the (hellacious) drive down 85? We’ve got the inside track—Amtrak, that is. Offering fans a cheap, easy, no-muss-no-fuss designated driver—without the hassle of traffic and parking—the train from Raleigh to the Queen City has long-been the go-to for in-the-know Panthers fans who make the mass exodus on game day to get down, get their game on and get back. And, this year, NC by Trains is rolling football trains to transport proud Panthers to and fro select games—with plenty of extra play time. (Our rec: stadium-adjacent tailgate hot spot WFNZ Jack Daniel’s Dog House). Here, your “know how to go.” All aboard! ncbytrain.org
