I thought I was In Wisconsin

I heard you guys talk about it before but I truly couldn't believe the amount of Packers fans I saw in Bank of America today. It was crazy; we were louder but not by much. The ratio ratio was probably 60/40 Panthers fans by sound but I saw more Packers wearing their colors today than Panther fans. There were cheesheads everwhere.

Attendance locally will pick up as the team maintains some level of excitement; parlaying that excitement into some wins wouldn't hurt either. We are coming off of a miserable year (frankly a miserable era with a few bright spots).

I think once the team gets their legs fully under them and people start to figure out that the changes made in the offseason are going to bring about a different kind of team than we've seen in the past things will change. Until then remember that we are dealing with teams that have generational fanbases - the first generation of "born" panther fans are only just now getting old enough to make a difference. Teams like Green Bay that have old national fan bases travel well and it doesn't bode well for young teams coming off of bad stretches *shrug*

I remember the 49ers game last year, I was in the lower levels, my god there were so many niners fans. I was embarrassed to see that in OUR stadium. What really pisses me off is when Pittsburgh comes to town, I can't stand steelers fans. There are so many northern transplants in Charlotte though, It's kinda part of it I suppose. But that stadium should be filled with at least 75% Panthers fans, I guess when they win a super bowl things will change. The franchise isn't that old either. Kids how will inherit the team and things will change then. Patience.

Please disregard this thread. It was no where near close as far as attendance and noise level. Probably 80/20. Also, that place was loud and rocking on GB 3rd downs, almost as loud as I have ever heard. It really was a playoff atmosphere.

Yeah, I was there and I'd say 80/20 is much more like it. Panthers fans were loud, caused false start in the Packers 1st possession

I'm not sure what the game was like in other sections but Panthers fans sounded loud.. it was rocking in the west end zone.

and on moral victories...

We had some charming cheese heads in our section, very vocal but respectful...and for two quarters...absolutely scared to death. I mean their world was upside down, to see the panic in their eyes was priceless.

Been a while since I've been a proud Panthers fan and spent so much time on my feet....willing my D for a stop or basking in large chunks of real estate as we made our way down the field.

Yep, another moral victory but for a half of a game, we were feared by the champions....and i want more.
