If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

That arena was half-empty ten years ago. Amazing what good ownership and winning can do.

[Ricky Spanish]

I'm not spending $100s in this economy to watch my favorite team be sub-par.

Give me the better odds to actually watch a victory unfold with a good and competitive team and I'd gladly pay for a hit of that sweet dopamine.

The Rangers have one of the biggest fanbases in all of the NHL.

 

Bad comparison bro.

 

Raleigh is the heartbeat of the Carolina's. We are loud and we don't sit in our seats all game while the opposing fanbase outcheers us in our own house. Charlotte is laid back the people are just there just to watch a game.

 

Raleigh we are there to be the difference. Don't compare us with them. We are on another level when it comes to actually supporting a team.

 

They not like us.

You are the same guy who spent pages bitching a few weeks ago at anyone who went to the games for “needing to send a message to tepper to sell the team”. Take your little brother complex somewhere else

How is bashing the fanbase going to make the team that has the worst win percentage in all of sports the last few years any better?

When the team strings together some sustained success you will see better attendance. It's not any different from other struggling sports teams.

I don’t see visiting fans taking over the Jets stadium

I’d be embarrassed to be a Chiefs fan just because they win.

The Jets have been in existence for 65 years. The Panthers have been around for less than half that time. There just has not been enough time to establish that level of committed fandom here. The other issue is how bad the team has been over the last 6 years or so. That combined with what is now a transplant city with every rando from around the country wanting to plant their flag here is how you will continue to get a football stadium overtaken by opposing fans.

The lack of generations of history is fair. That's a very real factor. The whole "transplant city" thing isn't. Every city that is growing substantially is a transplant city. Go out to Denver and try to find somebody who was born and raised in Denver.

Waiting for the end of the season when tickets are under $20 again so that I can bring the family up from Charleston. Those Chiefs tickets were expensive the moment they went on sale.

Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

First: The fans that were there supporting the panthers were very loud. I was shocked with the amount of noise they produced, because it was at least 90% KC fans in that stadium. 

Second: I can't blame a single fan for selling tickets. Tepper has driven a proud franchise into the toilet. As much as I wish the stadium was full of black and blue, I can't blame people for making money on a product they've paid thousands for, they've been charged more for, and has gotten worse over time. 

Third: I think this team is turning a corner. With a healthy 95 next year, and some investment on the defensive side of the ball in the draft and free agency, we have a chance to be good. So I hope y'all will come back. 

[PantherGuy]

The Chiefs are indisputably the better team. It's okay that we lost by 3.

If you want to support David Tepper more power to you. 

Then why are you even a fan at all? If you refuse to support anything David Tepper and he owns the Panthers then why are you even hear? What's the matter, does Tepper not fall in line with your same bull poo political opinions as he should like Canales didn't as well? Seems you can't stand anything or anyone in the organization at all so why even be a fan? If you leave the Panthers are simply down one weak little whiny twit anyhow. Bye sweet titts
