Hornets vs. Wizards Preseason Game Thread

I agree with you... preseason games should be road games and used as a marketing tool.

 

We've had several Wizards games played near me, for the same reason.

I don't have any issue with Pre-season games being played around the Carolina's.... Wilmington, Raleigh, Asheville, Columbia, Myrtle Beach and wherever else in the area. But regular season games? that's a no go for me.

Without South Carolina, the Carolina Panthers wouldn't exist. They did a lot to help create this franchise. Changing the name to Charlotte would lose a lot of support this team gets here. And regardless of what people think, their are a good bit of panther fan in South Carolina.

 

 

No doubt. Having training camp at Wofford and playing games at Clemson was definitely a help. I was pretty young at the time but remember going to games down there in 95 and have been to camp many years. 

 

I am sure much of the "help" was compensated for with money for the area from incoming fans as well as Panthers paying money as well.

 

Teams everywhere in all the major sports (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) name their team after the city they are located in. I understand trying to gain the "local" marketplace but when most are still fans of former team (prior to Panther existence) Redskins, or Falcons or maybe just a bandwagon fan Cowboys, Steelers, Pats then I am not worried about them.
