Away game safety

Short question to ya'll who are familiar with other stadiums. I will fly over from Germany to see the TNG at Tampa. A few weeks later I will be in Florida again to see the game in Miami. I will bring my wife and our five year old daughter to that game in Miami. We have upper level seats, so called child / family seats. In Tampa I have a lower level seat behind the panthers bench.

Do you think I / we will get much heat from drunken morons or are both places known to be safe / welcomming? I was at our away game against the Giants three years ago, lower level, people were quite nice. I am a little concerned because we bring our kid and I do want to avoid any trouble. But of course I / we want to show our colors.

Thanks for some suggestions. Go Panthers!

Tampa has a worse overall fanbase than us, they were 31st in attendance only beating Oakland last year. Not only should you have no problem with fans, there should be plenty of empty seats around you and a seat in front of you to put your feet on.

 

Miami was 29th in attendance, same situation.

 

Florida is the worst state for football fanbases in the country.

I went to see them in Miami in '05 I believe it was, and I wore my Panthers Jersey. Ill never wear a Panthers jersey to an away game again. The miami fans at one point were throwing plastic beer bottles at some Panthers fans. I heard alot of poo talk. Im glad the panthers lost that game because It was a pretty ruff crowd and if they had won I probably would have been in a fight or two.

You won't have any issues in Tampa. I flew in from Hamilton, Ontario for last year's season opener. I donned Panther blue in the upper level and didn't hear a word from Bucs fans. Terrible attendance made for a poor atmosphere, but you'll be safe and can enjoy the day with your family.

 

I don't expect to experience the same courtesies this weekend in Buffalo!

I don't think those stadiums will give you much grief any more than our own... you're going to encounter drunken morons pretty much anywhere.

 

I saw my fair share Sunday.  I was seated beside a drinking Seahawks fan, but he was pretty tame honestly.

 

The two Panthers fans on the other side of my son were far more unruly, and drunk, than he was.

 fixed.

 

 

You must not watch college football. Gator, Noles, and Canes fans are something else.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
