At least the biggest that a Charlotte team has played in. Final Four was arguably bigger.[/quote]
Uh, didn’t the Panthers already play in a Super Bowl???[/quote]
Super Bowl wasn’t in Charlotte.

Love ya bro, but NO WAY.[/quote]
Only bigger from a local perspective and interest. Final Four brings more $, hotel rooms and attention to the city than the NFC championship. Far more out of towners were here for Final Four than will be here for NFC championship.
2015 Final Four drew 74 million viewers and NFC championship drew 50 million. Final Four visitors are here three nights typically vs one for football.
Final Four site is also promoted all season long and especially at beginning of NCAA tournament. “The Road to Charlotte”, etc.
1994 brought national attention to the city itself which you don’t get from a playoff game.
LOL. I was at the Final 4 and I will be there Sunday. From a local/regional viewpoint, Sunday will be larger. From a national viewpoint, Final 4 MAY have been bigger, but it took place over a 3 day span with more than one televised game (which should mean more viewers).
You both have a point. Now stop argueing.
