List things the Panthers could do to improve their relevance in South Carolina


Recommended Posts

Eh, I don't think it's anymore relevant in cities in NC as you get farther away from Charlotte than South Carolina.  There's already a pretty big population increase right on the state line.  As Charlotte grows in size and the Panthers popularity rises, then it's relevancy will reach further away.

I wasn't aware that they needed help. I'm from SC, and I don't consider them them the NC Panthers. we do have a lot of Steeler, Cowboy, Packers and Redskin fan down here, but doesn't every area in the USA have that fan base. Lots of Panther support in SC. I've been a fan since the start, went to 3 of the first games in Clemson, I pull for the CAROLINA Panthers!:shades:

Keep training camp in South Carolina.

More player caravans/events throughout the state.

One thing i really like about ATL is the many billboards around the city. I see a few in NCs major cities, but very few in SC’s (Greenville, Spartanburg, Columbia, Charleston, Florence). There needs to be more billboards and advertisements. There needs to be more of that in NC as well.

A new owner currently living in SC will help

I live in Charleston and although they will never be as popular as the Gamecocks or Tigers, there is a pretty big Panthers fan base here. It’s honestly not that much different than NC / Charlotte. 

For reference I split time between the two cities.

Also Charlotte is the perfect city geologically for the two states. It’s closer for me to drive from Columbia or Charleston to Charlotte than anywhere on the coast of North Carolina.

Charlotte is closer to Atlanta than Charleston for example. I know more Falcon fans in NC than SC. Should we move the team further away from Atlanta?

I couldn’t disagree with this statement more

I’m just talking about Charleston since that’s where I live currently. We have a pretty large Panthers fan base, much larger than any other NFL team.

I have lived in Charleston / Charlotte a combined 25 years. I will say winning definitely helps. Since Cam was drafted the fan base in the Charleston area has at least doubled.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
