“What’s different this year is that the Belk Bowl is the same day, so you can be uptown all day. You can do the Belk Bowl at noon, you can stay here for dinner and then you stay here with that great party with friends and family starting at 8,” said Vica Bondurant, with Charlotte Center City Partners.
