Could Charlotte protests could threaten Dolphins at Panthers game?

The Miami Dolphins and Carolina Panthers game for Saturday night could be in question as protests erupt around Charlotte.

Protests have erupted all over Charlotte, centered around tonight's Triple-A baseball game at BB&T Ballpark. The protests, which are demonstrating following a mistrial declared in the case of Randall "Wes" Kerrick, had been peaceful throughout the day, but police were deployed around BB&T Ballpark as protestors advanced toward the gates of the stadium and began throwing rocks through the gates.

The stadium was hosting a baseball game at the time, and fans were not allowed to leave the stadium through the main gates.
