Huddle Tailgate Thread- *Panthers vs. Cardinals* NFC Wild Card Matchup

Recommended Posts

Happy Playoffs everyone! We would like to do BBQ again this week as we are anticipating a somewhat larger tailgate if some of you are coming into town. Last year's playoff tailgate was INSANE, can we top it?

Below is everything you need to know about the tailgate with most questions answered. Make sure you read through everything below before you post any questions in the thread. 

 

****If you plan on joining us at the tailgate, please let us know in this thread so that we can have an approximate head count when we order food. If you are bringing guests, please let us know if you can estimate how many people you will be bringing. Doesn’t need to be exact, but we don’t want to order food for 70 people if only 30 are going to show up and vice versa. ****

 

TL;DR version- come anytime after 10am. Bring me my damn money and I feed you. BYOB.

 

 

WHAT TIME?: 

Times will be a bit different since this is a playoff game at 4:35p. RR will be out to set up around 10-10:30am and I will be there shortly after!

 

 

LOCATION:

Our new permanent location for this season is 601 S. Cedar St. This is the location where Hartigan’s used to be (is now replaced with Draught) and is right beside the practice fields. If you are familiar with the Morehead side of the stadium, Cedar is the first light after you go past the stadium on your right going towards Freedom OR if you are coming from the highway, Exit off 77 on Trade Street and take a right on Cedar. 

 

If you are looking at Draught we are directly to the left outside of the roped off CANS area

 

PARKING:

Parking is all around where we will be, you can either choose to park down Morehead towards Freedom, or anywhere in the office buildings across the street from us, you can also go under the tunnel up Morehead to the other side of the stadium (not recommended since that is where the DogHouse is and there are people everywhere), or you could park over on the Mint side of the stadium and cut through near the practice fields.

 

 

Here is an aerial view of the Tailgate. The red spot is where we will be. The yellow line is the walk to the stadium (or you can just walk up Morehead to the gate on that side). The yellow highlighted spots are not where we are, we are actually more where the yellow car is up from there.

THE GOODS (WHAT’S INCLUDED):

In addition to the tailgate spots that Roaring Riot has donated to us in the lot, the following will be included:

·         Our very own Porta-Potty 

·         Food this week will be provided by Sauceman's BBQ

·         Water/Soft Drinks- we will not be providing alcohol, BYOB

·         Music 

·         Convenient Parking nearby

·         Close to WFNZ DogHouse

·         Short 5 minute walk to the stadium

·         Family friendly atmosphere (to a certain extent since I have a mouth like a Sailor)

·         Inclusion into a lot already dominated mainly by some of the largest Panthers tailgates in CLT

·         Various tailgate activities including Cornhole, Beer Pong/Flip Cup

·         Tents, tables, silverware, etc. provided

 

HOW WILL I KNOW WHO YOU ARE?:

Look for the Carolina Huddle banner, but we also have signs taped up,  look for those and the PortaJon.

 

If you are looking at the roped off area outside of Draught, we are directly to the left where the PortaJon is under the tents. 

 

DO I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IN IF I DIDN'T DONATE PRIOR TO THE SEASON?:

No, you do not have to pay to get in; however, if you want to eat our food and use our Porta John, plan on bringing a cash donation (no minimum required) to put in the bucket I will be passing around at the tailgate. Yes, I will be harassing you, yes, I will know if you are avoiding me  ;)

 

CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE SUPER AWESOME T-SHIRTS OR KOOZIES?

Yes, you can, they will be available for purchase at the tailgate for a small fee. 

 

 

I WANT TO BRING MAH FRANZ/FAM, DO THEY HAVE TO PAY AS NON-HUDDLERS?

Please, bring your friends! Especially if they are Panthers fans! Just like you, if they plan on eating, etc., please ask the group to make a small donation, it only goes to help us provide more food and drinks for you! If you plan on bringing fans of the opposing team, we will be asking for double normal donations because they aren't Panthers fans- any Steelers fans- quadruple. Should be a profitable tailgate that week. eff you steelers fans.

 

IS THERE A LIMITATION ON THE ALCOHOL I CAN BRING?

That's a no. Especially when it gets cold, feel free to bring some moonshine to cover your donation costs for that game. We will try to provide as many coolers as we can for everyone to store their beer, but please feel free to bring your own.

Will be at the game bit can't make the tg on Sat. Son has another championship swim meet downtown that starts at 12:30 in Sat.

Have to watch him swim and then head over to the game.

You should make your son quit the swim team. Nobody likes a winner.

He is potentially looking at college money for swimming...so, gotta keep him focused.

He just got home yesterday from a 4 day training trip to Atlanta where he trained with several Olympians on the SwimAtlanta team. If he is willing to work that hard, giving up a couple of tg's is worth it.

    • That fact that any of these guys are starting or contributing significant time in rotation speaks to the overall lack of talent on this team. The record speaks for itself. Be thankful that any of them show anything resembling nfl level skills out there. This team needs a lot more talent to start winning games. 
    • Personal opinion but I think Canales moves XL around too much. He’s been pretty damn good when he’s operating as the X and just galloping down the field. He seems to struggle a little more when playing the Y or Z. His route running and overall concept of NFL defenses doesn’t seem to quite be there when he’s playing off the LOS. His route running isn’t exactly graceful and you’ll sometimes see him carry his route too far specially against zone defense when he’s playing inside. As an X he’s really good though, especially against cover 0. Watching the Chiefs/Steelers game yesterday I couldn’t help but think that we should be using XL the way the Steelers use Pickens and they should be using Pickens the way we use XL.
    • Vrabel seems like a perfect fit for the Browns' job.  Ohio State product, Super Bowl Champion--I see the Browns hiring from within. Personally, I would like to see Leslie Frazier here.  I think, in today's NFL, your DC needs to be very familiar with the defensive backs.  Horn would become great and if we sign Mike Jackson back, he would be even better. Curry is my second choice--it depends on the type of Coordinator Canales is looking for.... Not Rivera, please. I just feel that he is not very smart--and I feel that he sacrificed Cam for his own career.  Just me--not looking for affirmation.
