The atmosphere is getting better. Relatively speaking, we are still a young team with a young fan base. 

 

What truly pisses me off is when you head to a game vs the Steelers, Cowboys, Redskins...and there's people there over the age of 26 who have been "fans" their entire life of one of the aforementioned teams and Panther stadium is as close to a "home game" for them that they will ever get.

 

Next time you see some moron walking around in a Roethlisburger jersey, ask him what part of Pittsburgh he's from. 

 

"BUT BRO, MY DAD HAD A COLLEGE ROOM MATE FROM PITTSBURGH ITS IN MY BLOOD" 

 

LOL...

Two years ago, it was a home game for Minnesota at BOA.

I couldnt believe there was that much Vikings fans walking downtown.

When I was a young man, and had abundant energy, games we great. College or Pros, I loved the atmosphere. Nowadays, it is just too damm easy to sit in front of the tv and be comfortable.

 

I live the same distance from BOA as I did the Silverdome. Weird fact.

 

That, and the wife hates football. So it is much easier to annoy her at home, where she cannot avoid them, then to let her off the hook by leaving to watch the games.

 

I do however love TC. There is just something about watching the practices. Analyzing players and trying to get a feel for the season.  Plus, I can ride my bike to Wofford. Good exercise and Pro football.

 

Fans don't have to attend the game to be a fan.

 

And GOOOOOO  CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Yeah I'm in my mid to late 20's man and I used to be able to go non-stop. Being badly hung over on Monday just ruins my week. I used to stay up till 2 on Sunday nights drinking beer in college watching football...but now I'm usually asleep by 9 on game days.

Ravens game a couple years ago, too. I picked my drunken room mate up at the Epicenter and I kid you not they took that place over. Which is fine, because only morons and tourists go to the Epicenter.

Until you have had an actual Blue Plate Special. I don't want to here it. But I agree, Sunday Night Football is tough to finish.

No. I'm in the very back corner adjacent to the building and tryon. Boo usually stops by every now and then. 

 

I'm going to be honest, it's starting to get over run with more and more people (like my ex GF and her current BF) that I don't really care to see and eat all my sh1t and I'm thinking about finding a new spot. It's like people who I know/knew and their friends just kinda go there now. I mean the more the merrier I suppose but I'm seriously considering breaking off from them and finding a new location. 

 

Two years ago I tailgated with my good friend who is a Falcons fan and all of his family and friends and I brought my Dad out to where he was set up off of Cedar, right up from hartigans. It was a terrible spot. We new someone who had a house across the street so we could go there to use the bathroom. That was the only positive. And they had a keg, too. I was pissed to find out that they had a keg after I already packed a cooler. 

 

years ago, when I was like 21-22, our main spot was the vacant lot up from the Uptown Cabaret. It was an awesome spot but they built that fuging diner there now so we can't use that place anymore. 

 

The French Quarter lot is certainly an awesome place to tailgate. Our TG is still incredible but it's starting to get over run with friends of friends, etc. 

 

You literally set up about 25 feet from us.  We are in the middle row....right up near Tryon.

 

I will have to stop by this season and say hi.

I haven't been to a home game the past two seasons.  But that's because I run the biggest home game after-party in town and start working at 10am.  I go to at least two away games every year.  Always ATL (we usually have 80+ people).  Last year was Philly and this year is Miami and maybe Tampa.

You get into very unpleasant waters when you try to group fans into "castes". Based on who goes to games, who travels, and who buys shirts. It's better to just accept everyone that considers themselves a fan. While silently thinking this victory is sweeter for you because you didn't poof in 2010.

 

We have a problem due to PSLs where many of the PSL holders purchased them as an investment. A scheme to make money. Many of our seats are sold online and fans from other markets living in NC will pay any absurd amount to see their team once or twice in an 8 year cycle.

 

I'm telling you now, when the Panthers are playing well the BofA night game experience is incredible. I've watched the Panthers stampede over the Bucs on a Monday nighter. I've watched an electric crowd against Arizona. (obviously Jake killed the crowd but it was amazing the first drive). To be honest, it's probably easier and just as fun (or more fun) to watch from home. But there is something to be said for saying "I was there". "I saw a Hall of Famer in his prime"

It sounds like Southern Cal has a bigger Panther fanbase than I expected. There's a couple of y'all on here. It seems like there's more of y'all than there are in South Carolina. Another reason to rebrand the team as the Charlotte Panthers and drop South/North Carolina. The further you get away from the Charlotte metro area, the less there are Panther fans.

Whoa it's a lot of us down here in sc

Is it really that confusing that people move ? Lol

I mean it has been almost 20 years since the inception of our franchise ..lots of Panther fans spread out around the nation.

Hell, I went to a Panthers/Broncos game party out here in Denver this past season and there were at least a dozen Black & Blue fans there ...

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
