Pffft. This is ridiculous. I'm literally laughing at this.
Carter-Finley is right next to the RBC Center. Where Raleigh just hosted the NHL All-Star game. It's one of the most visited places in the city for concerts, events and Carolina Hurricanes games. It is very much one of the safest places in Raleigh to visit and in a perfectly nice area. There aren't many other areas in the city that see more traffic from families with their kids. (Save for the malls and Marbles downtown.) It's not even near downtown. It's out away from everything on it's own. Right off of I-40 on the far Western side of Raleigh. It could not be more safe.
Anything to the contrary is utter

. The only things directly around the stadium area are the Fairgrounds, The College of Veterinary Medicine at NCSU and a rich private school for elementary kids. Look it up on Google Maps.
As for all of the school loyalty and Curry talk in this thread, you guys need to shut it down now. This is a thread in the football forum about the NCSU game. Keep it on topic or I'll lock it until football season. Post a topic elsewhere, but that's enough in this thread.
