I have ticket stubs from games in Death Valley when i was 9 years old.

 

Keep Pounding

I found this program from the first game at death valley.  I took it to training camp the year after for autographs.  This explains the prominent muhsin muhammad signature since he wasnt on the 95 team.  I can make out dom capers, moose, and honestly i cant read many more. 

I also found this old helmet that had sam mills, biakabatuka, and steve beuerleins autograph.

Finally, i found a collection of newspaper clippings that i clipped in 1995.  This was really pre internet for me so i wanted to keep some history from that season.  I actually kept over 400 pages of newspaper clippings that year.  Here is a picture of the paper after our first win.

I stood and nearly froze to death in RFK on Xmas Eve, last game of season one, cheering for Kerry Collins to get us to 8-8 in our inaugural year. Didn't happen, but I still remember thinking how awesome it was to see my team in person. Wasn't until a few years later I saw them in Ericsson Stadium.

If you can't name OUR "Salt & Pepper" then your possibly a late bandwagoneer 

oh yeah been there since day one and was a "panthers huddle.com" member before they threatened Igo with a beat down  if he didn't give up the address, now we have carolinahuddle. Valuable info for the newbs, you're welcome.

Who remembers when our WR corps consisted of Willie Green and Mark Carrier and our starting RB was Derrick Moore? Feeling old admitting that I remember them from '95...

One thing i remember about the first home game i saw at clemson against the rams (who had just moved from l.a.) was the panthers had a lot of interceptions (5 or 6) and played all 3 of their qbs  -  frank reich, jack trudeau (i believe this was his only appearance as a panther...and i did remember his name without looking it up), and kerry collins saw his first action as a panther in the 4th qtr that day).

That game was a day before my 15th birthday and was my birthday gift that year.  Our seats were so high up but i will always remember it as my first nfl game that i saw in person.

I remember 7 of the 8 home games at clemson were blacked out because death valley seated approximately 4 million people and we never sold it out so i listened to most of the games on the radio.  I had never followed the nfl before that year so i had no allegiances but i watched the preseason in 1995 and became a panthers fan for life quickly.

My second game that i saw in person was in 1996 when the panthers beat steve young and the 49ers to reach 3-0.  That was also a birthday present.

My first game was the 96 49ers game. I had my wisdom teeth removed the next day. Neat story.

[Swedish Butt-Whistle]

I too tailgated in the rain at death valley before ericsson stadium was open, but who cares? All it really proves is i'm getting old.  The more my team can profit off jersey and ticket sales the better. The bandwagon argument is dumb when i've heard for so many years "we don't get the respect we deserve" card.

Thought we had something when we won the season opener. Boy were we wrong.
