Fox Sports says Panthers have the 24th best stadium in the NFL.

The tailgate scene in Charlotte is sort of lacking, but that's what happens when a stadium is right in the heart of downtown. And that's a compliment. Centrally located stadiums are where it's at. Eating and drinking in a climate-controlled establishment designed for such things and then walking to the stadium is far better than standing around in a parking lot convincing yourself that cooking hot dogs on a small, charcoal grill while wearing your huge winter gloves is some sort of rite of the football fan. Don't get me wrong -- some people do tailgating right. Most of them just happen to be doing it on Saturdays outside SEC stadiums.

Top 5:

5. Heinz Field (Pitt)

4. Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia Eagles)

3. Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Chiefs)

2. CenturyLink Field (Seattle Seahawks)

1. Lambeau Field (Green Bay Packers)

Nope.  Because you didn't say f uckin.  You said f uggin.  Which looks like you're 12 years old.

There is close to zero tailgating in Seattle. It's all bar-gating.

Good to know.  Didn't know that.  Will make it to Seattle eventually.

I lived in Philly for three years - the Eagles tailgates are incredible. They're out there before 7a. We roll out around 10:45-11a here.

Yeah, I know.  I try to get out there around 9ish.  Philly sounds amazing.

My group in by 8am.

So, they aren't really ranking the stadiums...just the atmosphere's outside?

Also, I do wish that Charlotte tailgates started earlier, but I probably wouldn't make it into the game if I started drinking at 7.

Ummm......I don't ever remember seeing you when I get there at 7a. Or while I'm usually alone until 9a. Unless Alvarez or Brandon comes by
