How are they coming when the crowd is 60/40 at best?

 

 

Have you ever been to a game when the panthers are good?  We've sucked for 4 and a half seasons. When the team is good people show up. Same as 99% of other fan bases. How many people were going to canes game when they sucked?

the attendance still sucks but I think it's mostly because they're a "new" team, charlotte is full of transplants that root for other teams, and obviously the product is too inconsistent. when the panthers are playing well it definitely get rockin.

Yes!

 

I was at 3 games during our best season in franchise history. And the crowds were still pretty underwhelming. Maybe it was 70/30 back then.

GOAT this is what I have been trying to tell you this entire time.

 

Im not knocking Charlotte as a city. Im just saying the location isn't exactly great to build a true HFA. Certain cities in NC have much more rowdy fans. Charlotte fans seem more laid back than usual. Even the bars are much more quiet.

Charlotte is where the money is, the team will never move to Raleigh. You might as well get used to it.

Now this is hilarious!

 

Charlotte is a smaller version of Atlanta. It's growing but to say it's where the money is crazy. NC as an entire state is not very rich. If you want land and a farm NC is the place to be. Otherwise not many rich people in NC in general.

 

The money is in bigger markets like LA/NY those places are where you find millionaires/billionaires.

What you think is loud may not be as loud to another person...

 

To act like we have some huge HFA at BOA is crazy. Even our good years the stadium was never overwhemingly Panthers fans.

 

The Seahawks is what you call a true HFA. That crowd never changes. It's always 90% Seahawks fans. Panthers have never had that type of crowd.

Never said we're the loudest fanbase but when we're good fans show up. It isn't 70/30 when this team has a winning record.  The exceptions would be the steelers and cowboys. That's probably 70/30. And that's because those fan bases don't have a brain cell between them and will pay 5x face value for tickets

We have one of the weaker fanbases for sure. We had the #1 pick in the draft and I only saw 9 Panther fans in the crowd.

 

BOA is 60/40 on a good day. Charlotte is flooded with fans of other teams.

 

I keep saying this, but the crowd support would be much higher if the team was moved to Raleigh. Just something about Charlotte the crowd is just not loud enough. The Hornets games are the same way smh.

Not very good fans there if they don't travel a few hours to Charlotte. Most people who are serious fans travel for their team.

Even Cam mentioned it in 2015 no less

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
