Thanks for creating this.  The last time I went to Wofford was mid-week when Jimmy Clausen and new rookie Cam where " competing" for the starting job.

My kids are 3 and 5 years old. Are there events that they can enjoy?

Are there specific days that are better for young children?

I see practices are usually about 2 hours in the morning. Are there events going on during practice?  What about when practice ends, what other events are going on?

What are some best practices for obtaining autographs?  (For the kids, not me of course)

The kids aren't old enough to be Panthers Pals and get on the field yet. That starts at age 6. There is an area the kids can play but you really can't see practice from there. 

Honestly, I wouldn't take really young kids. Way too hot, although it would definitely help you get autographs. 

The best place for autographs is along the fence as close to where the players enter and exit as possible. Those spots fill up early though, both before practice and people even skip a large portion of practice to line up there for the post practice autographs. 

I don't know of any events after or before practice.

Probably a good idea.  I'm not sure what your kids are like, but at 4 my kid was miserable in the blistering heat watching what (I think) is really an event for hardcore fans.

A few simple questions..

I noticed the vast majority of practice times are in the morning according to panthers.com. Does it still feel like the weight of the sun is pushing down on you during that period? Are we allowed to bring some sort of beach umbrella for shade or just tough it out? I don't see anywhere that says they prohibit certain items like the stadium page.

In a word, yes.

By 10 o'clock the hill is in full sun and you want to die. Bring a shade umbrella. Seriously. It is a must have.

Is parking hard to come by? Plenty or packed to the brim? 

 

Thanks

I definitely had an issue when I went.  We arrived not long before start time and had to drive around the local neighborhoods to find a spot.  Might be worth arriving a half hour to hour prior to start to avoid that.

      Our rookie class on offense looks promising

      The problem with Tmac im almost certain he will go top 5 and I can't see either Jacksonville or New England passing him up.   I think in a perfect world we draft either Tmac or Hunter, but they interviewed Prime on Speak today and he said he will have a say in where Sanders and Hunter play. So I'm not even sure if Hunter is a option now lol.

      Trading Deontae was 100% the right call, as he's not a #1 either and we weren't going to re-sign him, but we still got an awful return for him (thankfully the Mingo trade made up for it). And yes, we need that smaller shifty WR, but we also need a true outside #1 as neither XL or Coker are that. That's why I think T-Mac is a perfect fit for us in the early 1st round as that outside #1, Coker and XL could both play on the other outside and in the slot, and find a small shifty WR to work from the slot too, with Sanders, Brooks, and now Hubbard with the extension, plus our OL, is an offense that can succeed with a good game manager type of QB and not need a superstar.

      Put the pipe down. You are what your record says you are. They need talent and a lot of it. Brown is set but he can use upgrades all around him. ARob is fine but a short timer so competition is needed as a hedge against him chasing money next year. They need a bunch of LBs. Jewell is stopgap and Shaq is losing a step. He's the smartest of the group but he can no longer hang with a TE. They are playing harder yes, but it's due to grit and pride more than skill. They are finally getting tired of getting their asses kicked. Unfortunately for them the beatings will continue until moral improves.
