Cool experience at the game yesterday

[Hotsauce]

I had pretty amazing seats and access yesterday. 50 yard line, club level in the “Suntrust Club”. I had access to the field, and to the tunnels where the players came out. The Suntrust club had a bunch of awesome amenities like free top shelf liquor, free food like ribeyes, sushi, snow crab legs, etc. They had the Lombardi on display, which was really cool to see.  

I didn’t take a ton of pictures, because I was in the position of either shaking hands and exchanging words with players and coaches, or awkwardly trying to take their picture. Another great thing was I was one of the only Panther fans in the area, so I got a lot of attention for the Panthers. I shook hands and had a brief conversation with Hurney, got a lot of high fives from players, etc. 

 One really huge difference that I have to point out his last year I was in the same seats, and I only saw Jerry Richardson for a brief moment leaving the stadium on the golf cart (he basically stayed in his suite the entire time). This year Tepper was everywhere, he was on the field, he was walking around with the players in the tunnel, he was interacting with fans. Complete difference from last year, which was awesome.

that's a pretty impressive spread.  i'm glad to hear about tepper.  it's refreshing to have an owner who is engaged with the fans and players.  looks like you had a good time despite the outcome of the game.  thanks for the pics.

Good thing this wasnt a Bucs game...  Jameis would have swiped all the crab legs !!

Why is the Lombardi Trophy there? Ahead of the Super Bowl which will be played there, I'm guessing, since there's no other reason a Lombardi would be on display in Atlanta.
