I ran for State back in the day, and it's interesting to me what out of towners do in Raleigh (considering the growth since 2004) when they visit.
1. Brownstone at the corner of Cox and Hillsborough used to be the unofficial "host" hotel (it is currently being replaced by a new development). I even stayed there on my recruiting visit. Do teams with $$$ stay at the Umstead? If so, that's crazy.
2. Do most teams go to the Whole Foods on Wade Ave. or go to local establishments for meals? If so, which ones?
3. ATT did not exist when I was in college. For those doing a long run on Saturday - ATT or Umstead are the key locations. Which is more popular (flats vs hills post race)?
