Fans Can Arrive for Football and Stay for NASCAR at One Charlotte, NC Hotel

CHARLOTTE, NC--(Marketwired - Oct 9, 2014) -  Having one's cake and eating it too is not, as it turns out, an impossibility. While the rest of the world demands that people choose between two desirable things, the Charlotte Marriott City Center invites its guests to enjoy it all -- at least when it comes to sports. The hotel's new Football and Racing Fan Experience Package lets football fans extend their enthusiasm to NASCAR, all while enjoying the comforts of one of the finest hotels near the Charlotte Convention Center.

Exclusively available during the weekend of November 14 and 16, 2014, the package enables football fans to come early or stay late for that weekend's football game and pay a visit to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

The package is easily one of the most inventive to be offered among hotels in Charlotte, NC. In addition to hotel accommodations and two tickets to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the package includes complimentary high-speed Internet access, free self-parking and guests' choice of an Atlanta Falcons- or NASCAR-themed gift. Guests will also receive a $25 food-and-beverage credit (excluding alcohol) to use at Champions, the hotel's own sports bar where 42 large, flat-screen televisions ensure that patrons catch every tackle and touchdown.

Located among hotels near the Bank of America Stadium, the hotel offers unmatched convenience for football fans arriving to watch the match between the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers on November 16. But guests who stay an extra day or two with the package can easily take in some of the city's other highlights from their Uptown Charlotte hotel's enviable address. Visitors can easily spend an evening dining and dancing at the nearby EpiCentre, for example, or make a day trip to Carowinds theme park. Arenas, museums and shopping are all close by as well.

Rates for the Football and Racing Fan Experience Package range from $249 to $329 per night with a two-night minimum stay required. To secure the promotion, travelers may use the promotional code SPO when booking online or by phone at 1-800-228-9290.
