We have recently become fans of attending the Carolina Speed arena football games. I think it is a fabulous way to get kids into sports. You are sitting so much closer to the action at the arena, the kids are able to see what is going on so much better. The tickets are extremely reasonable and they typically have a meet and greet with the players after the game. Parking is never a problem and the arena is easy to access from Monroe Road or Independence Blvd.
