REPORT: Panthers looking at 25% capacity for Bank of America Stadium

[Peon Awesome]

I find it hilarious the difference in responses between the NBA and the NFL. NBA is going through painstaking depths to create an isolation bubble from the rest of the world with zero fans, constant testing, no traveling and several contingency measures and still acknowledges that a major outbreak could derail everything. NFL, with quadruple the roster and staff size, is maybe going to play with "only" 17,000 fans in the stands, and otherwise operate at status quo other than frequent testing and players not being able to swap jerseys. It's almost like Trump is leading the charge in the NFL. Just pretend the virus is a minor nuisance and push forward. That's definitely going to work

What did “they” do?

There's a bright side to to 25%. They could almost all be Panthers fans. Very little tickets for the other teams fans to buy or want to travel.

If it ain't happening in MLS and overseas soccer, MLB (for now), the NHL, or the NBA, it ain't happening in the NFL. Just give up already, you schmucks. You've lost money and you will lose money. That's just the way it is.

Surely it has dawned on the NFL that some states and/or municipalities they play in will have limitations of gatherings of more than x amount of people and the number of people required to conduct an NFL game even without fans will exceed this number.

The NHL is happening, NBA probably too. NFL will give it a go and likely succeed in some fashion

They gave yall a better defense which includes YGM and Derrick Brown and offense and OLINE. Better coaching staff which INCLUDES joe Brady. And yall are still not satisfied.

I mean you may be right, Tina. There defense was the worst in the NFL last year and that was with Luke, Bradberry, Addison, and Eric Reid. If they were poo with those guys I guess that they can only go up from there.

I mean let's be real, we always had the talent, we just had INCOMPETENT staff. That's over now.

It will be interesting 

this is the one time that an outdoor stadium is an advantage but club level at the Bank...have to  walk  through the inside to go outside  and vice versa 

Then  Bathrooms.  Bars. Don’t really  want to stray at a hotel afterwards  

No thanks. I’ll take the refund 

there are billions of dollars at stake. They will try to play 

I just feel bad for all the people in the stadium and the hotels that rely on this for income 

it’s a shame. All that had to be done was social distance, wash hands and wear a damned mask and it was simply too much for people to do so here we are

Exactly!! That’s why I don’t come here as often!! I would like to enjoy my team!! It’s a weird year for sure!! Rebuilding is tough but excited to see what happens!! Enough negativity out there!! Stay positive!! Go Panthers!!

It will be nice not having to tell fans to sit down because they are blocking my view.
