BOA was rocking tonight

[grateflday]

This was the fewest opposing fans I've seen in all my years coming to the stadium. And I LOVED it!

 

Without a doubt and one of the best parts of the game for me!!!  I only saw one AZ Jersey all night and that was walking through concourse.... saw none in the stands at all anywhere around me.  I do think part of it was there are not that many people from Arizona living in Charlotte and as a whole their fan base does not travel well.... BUT I will take a full stadium of 100% Panther Fans for a change, it was nice.

We had a ball in Section 544. We actually sat in the wrong section for about 20 mins, then notice we were 4 sections down. We had 2 Cardinals Fans sitting next to us, a husband and wife. They were actually pretty cool, and I talked to them a few times. They really didn't say much during the game. Which would make sense. Our whole section was rocking, and we only sat a few times. our little group around us were making jokes about Bersin, and screaming, " Put Keuchly in" he can run the ball into the endzone.

Awesome game, our section was pretty loud too. Glad the weather wasn't as bad as it could have been.  Stood the whole time, with the exception of when they asked any US Veterans to stand.

519 didn't sit the entire game! We were all piled on top of each other screaming in the stands.

Thank god the poor guy in front of me had on a poncho because I spilled my beer everywhere with those TDs

I was in 232. Very nice place to watch from. Crowd was great. Pics to come.

Was in 232 as well, belligerent and loud.

[ickmule]

Yes it was. We were there and the fans were what I expected for a playoff game.....LOUD

[tailg8or]

Voice is gone, head is throbbing, stomach hurts from pizza at 3am and wallet only has a few crumpled dollar bills ...... GREAT NIGHT!

Dont know if you could tell on tv but the players were feeding off the energy from the crowd. Great job everyone!

In section 102, it was awesome. No one sat at all. Loud on defense and hushed on offense. Couldn't have been a better or more fitting night.

I don't know if it's just the way they mic things up or what.. but the Pittsburgh game seemed much much louder. im sure our fans were loud, but there was a huge difference in presentation quality between the two games.. I guess that's just espn vs nbc

.... I don't know how noise was coming from a lot of yellow seats (empty) during the 3rd qtr. of the Squealer game.

Az only ran 47 offensive plays, 9 of which were punts. Whether it came across that way or not we rocked that poo, everyone who was there knows it.

Keep in mind it's two different production crews and networks. Everything you hear is because they allow you to hear it. Too much noise on a broadcast can be detrimental to the viewers at home. When Ed Hoculi qued his Mic you can hear how loud the crowd is for him down on the field.

I would doubt it's even possible for Pittsburgh to be louder than CLT assuming both crowds are full throat. Simply because of the acoustics.

One time I was watching a Ravens game and the game had been over for 10 minutes and the crowd noise was still very loud. The camera takes a wide angle and the stands were practically empty. I think they were creating crowd noise with the magic of TV.

my Dad texted me at halftime from Pennsylvania saying the fans were loud as hell on the TV broadcast. i just wish our fanbase would learn to shut the hell up when the Panthers are on offense.... 

 

all in all, i was extremely proud of the fans this time. people sat down for a 5 minute period in the 3rd while the Cardinals still had that small lead, but the atmosphere was tense and you could tell the crowd was waiting to erupt again. as soon as the Panthers gave the crowd a reason to cheer, they were back on their feet the rest of the game. 

 

pretty much everyone stayed until the final whistle and the fan-chorus of Sweet Caroline reverberating around the Blue Cathedral literally brought tears to my eyes. 

 

it was a great experience that i will never forget. thanks to the fans and to the Panthers for giving us something to cheer for!
