It's more of a party in recent years with some pretty entertaining activities for viewers. Shows the players having fun and competing in skills MUCH better than playing a real game without anything on the line.

Reposting from other convos about TV market size to support your comment about St Louis being a "top 30" TV market.... and point out where Kansas City happens to rank in comparison. One would think that a higher-rated TV market would automatically mean the NFL would be interested. But that's not always the case

similar to Atlanta and the NHL. Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer). Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer. Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years. They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

As they say in the field: if you dont want us to score, keep us out of the end zone. The Missouri side of Kansas City had opportunities to keep the tax base a team provides a chance to stay. They were unable to make it happen. Maybe the voters in Missouri weren't interested in funding things? The Kansas City DMA is not losing a team. Teams are not assigned on a state by state basis (Iowa? Nebraska? Florida with three?)

also the reason why the Draft has been on the move around the country - gives stadiums that are less likely to host a SB something to use as a showcase

it's a 20 mile move across to the other side of the city. This is not an expansion play

it's also nice to have our highlights near the top of the NFL recap shows rather than shoved into the final 2 minutes. I'm sure the graphics departments were racing to dust off the Panthers logo collection after years of non-use.

said it before: last season, we were the happiest 5-12 fanbase vs other teams at the same record. We saw the potential and ended the season on an upswing. There was hope of what could come

and we're building an environment that those on the outside looking in could legitimately say, "i want to play for/with THESE guys".

Not a fan of Arthur Blank wandering the sidelines during a game, or pushing his star quarterback around in a wheelchair. During the game, stay up in the suite and enjoy what the people you've hired to do, do what they do

As we all do, every day

Pretty sure there's no doubt now about Canales securing his third year.

Teppers been in the locker room, which is fine. He's the owner. More important is that he doesn't look to be grabbing the spotlight anymore, like some other owners were today (this was Jerry after the Dallas game)

Carolina *is* considered "Big Market" in terms of TV viewing size. Perhaps you meant "larger fan base"? (As fans, we all have to stop saying that the Panthers are a small market team. Because we arent)

opening another bottle from the Panthers Wine Club shipment tonight. Cheers!

Would not be surprised if the networks/NFL choose to flex our Week 18 game into the Sunday night slot . I don't think there are other matchups on the schedule with as significant a playoff influence as that one. It really depends on how next week goes. For whatever reason, the NFL gives just one week notice on Week 18 schedule changes, which really messes up those who buy tix and need to travel.

the crowd seemed loud today.

Step one, done

Feels so good so good so good

Sweet Carolina, bah bah bahmmmmm

One time is the only one that matters

They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn. How would it have made a difference at that point in the game? https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

put in the Giant Leprechaun. They'll never see a sneak coming with that move
