Charlotte FC season opener will cause road closures

Don't get caught up in a traffic snarl in Uptown on Saturday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte FC kicks off its second season on Saturday at Bank of America Stadium. 

During its inaugural season, the club broke an attendance record, beat Chelsea in a friendly, barely missed the playoffs and caused fans to flood into Uptown every time there was a match.
