And it's my first-ever NFL game! If you guys would be so kind as to fill me in on any information a newbie should know, feel free to tell me! I'll try to make it to the Huddle tailgate too!

Section 523, Row 1! :)

Get as loaded as you can before you go into the stadium, beer is expensive inside.

Don't drop the F-bomb too much, and if you do don't punch the security guard, he has bigger and meaner friends and they don't fight fair.

I don't drink, so I should be OK on that front, but I can't promise I won't be. . .uh. . .encouraging the Cardinals :)

Seriously since your seats are upstairs, and you don't know exactly where they are plan on going in at least 45 minutes before kickoff the lines start to back up around 30 minutes before. Take plenty of cash in the lines at the ATM's are long. If you do happen to forget cash stop by the panthers buck kiosk, there usually isn't a line, and vendors give you cash back for the coins.

Generally when the Panthers are on offense stay quiet. You'll be in row one and won't be able to look at the people in front of you for guidance.

On defense stay loud. Don't get up for a break right when a play is about to happen and step in front of people who now won't be able to see the play.

Eat before you go in the game, cuz the food in the stadium is overpriced fast food junk.

I've spent 11 hours standing 10 feet from a concert stage with 10000 people crushing me from behind, with neither food or drink, so hopefully this will be a piece of cake, minus my lungs when the defense is on the field :)

Are there any gate fees or parking fees, etc. I need to be aware of before I get there?

Parking ranges from $50 to free. If you get there early enough you can park on the street for free, but you won't find many spots.

If you don't mind walking a few blocks you can park uptown at 7th street station or Discovery place for 5 bucks, sometimes free you won't know until you leave if they're charging.

The closer in you get the higher the parking is on the surface lots but most range from $15 to $25.

You can park anywhere around the stadium, but I recommended either uptown or somewhere off of south mint.

EDIT: Duh I forgot to mention the Huddle tailgate is located in the lot that borders Church, 3rd and Popular. Best I can remember the parking in the lots around there is $25 for regular season, maybe a bit higher Saturday.

Is 8 AM early enough? I don't mind walking at all, and I want to get a chance to take it all in and see what's going down. Do they let people into the stadium early to take pics, etc?

no

      LSU receiver Lacy found dead

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yep. Happens to a lot of talented kids. I just think a lot of people don't understand that just because this kid is super talented doesn't mean he's going to make it to the pros. Most of them won't. Some will get injured. Some will run into trouble off the court/field. Some won't put in the work. The catering greatly increases the odds of the latter two. Then most will simply just not be good enough to make it to the pros. Either way, it all adds up to a long shot and the kids need to have solid plan Bs. A few years back my HS had the #1 RB recruit on the nation. He originally committed to UGA but flipped to Bama and was getting decent playing time as a true freshman before obliterating his ankle. He was never the same again after that. Never made it to the pros. Not sure what happened to him but evidently he wasn't the brightest bulb and was basically just getting passed through school to stay academically eligible. I don't think he was a bad kid, never really heard anything like that. He just wasn't all that bright and all the eggs were in the football basket.

      Ekwonu contract

      Our current hand is to pick up his fifth year option and then we have up to two more years to work on developing him and evaluating him.

      Ekwonu contract

      By Basbear · Posted

      That's just our current hand, its unfortunate. No easy solution and damned if you, damned if you don't.  Signing each is less wrong... Just wait until BY is up for a contract..... horn and icky will be nothing and each is super nerve wrecking...
