What was your first live Panthers football game?

[Mr. Scot]

Telling my age here, CatMan... but my first pro game was an AFL exhibition game in the mid 60's... the Houston Oilers vs. NY Jets... they actually played in Memorial Stadium in Charlotte. Got Joe Namath's autograph. Back then, you had a lot more access to the players after the game.

First NFL game was Bears vs. Falcons in Atlanta in 1969. Dick Butkus, Gayle Sayers, Brian Piccolo were all in that game. Atlanta blew em out.

I no longer feel like the oldster here

2007 @ Cardinals with Vinnie. Then '08 Charger game, followed by '09 AZ game. I wanted to go to Charlotte for first time this year, but $ is tight & JR is on my sh!t list.

i think it was 02. VS ATL, and Alge Crumpler made it a bad day.

Went to every home game until 2004, now its harder to go living up in NoVA

Canton Ohio in 1995 for me.

My dad drove me up there to watch some dumb sport named football and all I knew about it was it wasn't Mortal Kombat.

the Panthers beat the Jaguars. I was hooked.

Since then, I've missed fewer than 10 home games.

Mine, too. Went with Broach Sports Tours on a motorcoach. We had a blast.

Haven't missed a home game in 16 seasons, plus went to the Super Bowl (also with Broach). Also a few away games along the way.

I've literally been to more home games than anyone on this site.

It's a weird honor.

Nope ... sorry.

My mom let me get on the bus in Durham at age 16, and take it to Charlotte for our 1997 preseason game vs. the Denver Broncos...

The Broncos were debuting their new jerseys and logo, John Elway played a little bit, and Kerry Collins got his jaw broke... I could hear it all the way up in the 500's...

Went to two night games vs Giants and Buffalo b/t 97 and 98, cant remember which one was first. Been to about 20 or so ever since. Went to the Jax/Panthers preseason game in 01, had skybox seats, those were pretty sweet with open bar and good food. Smitty returned a td or two and Morgan left the game injured. Pretty much foreshadowed their careers in their first games as Panthers.

I don't really remember which was my first game. I have always made it to at least three a year since 95 (I was 13) and more than that the past few years.

For the first 5 years of me attending we lost every home game I went to.
