CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Major venues across Charlotte are throwing their last party for the CIAA weekend.
Between the basketball tournaments and the parties, CMPD is expecting about 100,000 people to come into town. Last year, about 100 bullets were fired in a shootout in uptown Charlotte.
CMPD is cracking down on permits for private parties, which was a new step taken by police to protect thousands in town for the tournament.
