Rumor: (Confirmed) Carolina Panthers to charge admission to Fan Fest in 2017

I have a friend that has been working for the organization now for a few years.There was a company meeting a few weeks ago that was attended and It was explained to me that this years Fan Fest will involve an admittance fee. It wasn't said whether it was fifty dollars or fifty cents, only that there will be an admittance fee. The organization will be treating this event as a regular season game day. After the past season ticket system, and people trying to profit off of it, it will now be a fee based ticket system this year. I have no reason to believe I was lied to and I have done several internet searches to see if this claim is in fact true or false. I have come up empty in my endeavors. To be clear this is only an unsubstantiated internet rumor imposed by me based on the things I have been told. What say you Huddle, can you find anything in regards to this?

 

Oh, also by the way. Adults that are sitting in the end zone when a touch down is scored and Cam wants to give the ball to a kid and you, as an adult, interfere. You will be asked to leave the stadium. There has been a real problem from adults taking the balls away from the kids when Cam scores a TD.

Any adult that would try to take a ball from a kid needs to be ejected. Or kicked in the groin

Even more, ban them from the stadium forever and revoke their fandom. That's some low poo there.

The problem is all the people that scooped up 6 tickets last year because they were free and ended up just not going. So many empty seats last year.

If they charge a small fee it will automatically eliminate those wishy washy fans who claim a block of seats without knowing if they will go or not.

Yep - exactly. 

And the show at the end of practice alone is worth the $5 charity donation to get in. Let's all think here before overreacting.

What a sad little party they are having together.

    • If there's a prospect who looks strong on the field but has the question marks, makes sense to bring them in and see if they are indeed a nutjob or not.  Especially if they couldn't get a good sense in limited time to meet him at the combine.  Randy Mueller has talked about it before -- many GMs don't just use these top-30s to validate the guys they already love.  Although we seem to do that and kind of show our cards a lot lol.   But to the point, if they love tape, have met enough coaches/teammates and talked to them at the bowls/workouts, many teams don't need to wine and dine and get to know them.   There's certain guys who get to know regional scouts, GMs and position coaches starting mid-college season last year.    On the flipside, there's the wildcards who aren't privy to developing relationships with the pro-community while in school, have bad reps, and teams need to dig a bit further into it.  A top-30 becomes a good measuring stick for those teams think could be a stellar fit but are unsure on who the guy actually is - which matters a ton at the end of the day.  Organizational fit has so much more weight than let on and is why these drafts after the first few picks get so all over the map.
