Has anybody been to a concert at the Lenovo center? Of these section, 106/117 or 104/119 , what would be your preference on section? 106/117 look closer to stage but 104/119 look like they might have better viewing angles.
What row?
106/117 is the best section in the house.
The only way I would take 104/119 is if 104/119 was considerably lower. I have not been at the venue and am just going off of other arenas that I have seen them with the current stage setup.
What is the North Hills section of Raleigh like? Good place to stay and Uber in for the shows? or is Cary area better?
Depends what you're looking for. North Hills will be super easy to uber from and to -- and lots of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, shopping around for the off day. Are you looking at one of those hotels at North Hills mall?
Cary will feel more like a small town, at least the downtown part...there is a decent little record store and some small shops/restaurants/brewery. The part of Cary I really like is Chatham and Maynard -- LOTS of international cuisine if you're into that.

Definitely bars and restaurants. I was looking at a Hilton that said it was about a mile from the bars and restaurants. I’ll check the mall area. Thanks so much for the info. Much appreciated

Yeah no worries -- That Hilton is on Wake Forest Rd and an easy uber to some spots but the Hyatt or Renaissance would put you right in the thick of North Hills mall (ie walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars).
Cowfish and Vivace both good restaurants up there.

I would love to find one more GA for night 1 so both my boys can attend with me on mother's day! If I can't find another GA, I will be looking to offload my two GA so I can find three seats somewhere in the building.

If you are offloading N1 GA, I'd love to have them! Been searching for a while!
If it follows last years dates closely round 2 will be happening and it would be around the game 4 and game 5 time frame.
Those two games are at different arenas so it allows more flexibility with the schedule. It is unlikely that the Canes would play two games at home at that time making the day off between shows a date that might have a game or maybe bump a show back or forward a date.
That said Go Devils so we don't have to worry about it!

That would definitely suck.

I just saw the Canes made the playoffs. Any idea if this will impact the shows yet?
a few years ago there was a warning when tickets went on sale that dates could be moved because of NHL playoffs. Think it was Vancouver. Since there was no warning when tickets went on sale this time I would think we are probably good not to get switched.

I forget Vancouver having that warning. Was it different than the normal warning of dates are subjective to change?
I would assume with the day between shows the NHL would schedule around the shows.
