Home crowd has made great strides this year.

People here act like it is complex to figure out how to cheer at a game. The reason our crowd isn't crazy like Pitt or Philly is bc The Panthers have been an average team and CLT is predominately white collar. I don't blame people for not yelling all game in the hopes we finish 6-10.

The years we are relevant, the crowd is great.

Also, JR doesn't want a Philly type atmosphere bc he wants you to be able to bring your kid to a game. I am thankful for this and I don't have kids.

Majority white collar? That's laughable. The majority are unemployed or making very low wages.

Well to be honest I am one of those ACC Basketball fans. Now I've been cheering like a maniac for the panthers since Death Valley, but I see what your saying. The Bank reminds me an awful lot like the Dean Dome in the Rams Club section. A bunch of ugly sweaters no one stands and the most demonstrative action is the occasional finger point/ golf clap.

Ha, nice. Yeah, I don't care for basketball like that, so that doesn't surprise me. Love football though.

Only game I've been to this season was the opener against Seattle.  And I gotta say, even then the crowd was better than in years past.  Probably due to the general optimism that comes with the start of every season and the fact that we were playing a good team.  But still, we weren't yet "winners" and the crowd was still pretty good that game.  I bet it was awful in the Giants game two weeks later though.

 

Oh and on a side note: why is RG3and10 not banned yet?

It's sad that in today's day and age the majority of a 72,000 person crowd does not know how in the fug to act at a football game. We've been kicking ass for years in SEC stadiums. Just do what you normally do at an SEC game.

I don't think that BofA is typically full of people who attend SEC games. Do you?

The hard part was staying sober long enough to actually "grad".

 

I gave up the "staying sober" part during freshman orientation and never looked back.

Final step is for the tools at big companies to either

a) sell the tickets they let go to waste.

Or

B) give them to charity.

I'm sick of going and seeing full rows empty bc Joe Douchebag Inc owns the rights to sec 130 row 2 and the secretary of special events doesn't realize it's her job to handle the tickets her company owns. Is a joke..

You'd hardly notice the difference if this team gave the fans something to cheer about consistently

[raleigh-panther]

I just wish people could

 

a) be there for player introductions

b) National anthem and kick-off

 

How hard is that?  ...given how much these tickets cost and  knowing when the game starts.

 

I would think, even though these are pro players, they'd like to see the crowd when they come out of the tunnel.

 

As one person said, 'we players live for that...that is what we hope to get from our home crowd'.

 

People in Charlotte fail at this over and over and over again...its like they are surprised there is 'traffic' or 'security jams'.

Most of the fans don't realize that you're supposed to arrive to tailgate at least four hours prior to kick-off.  But it seems that most don't even start tailgating until 11am or later! I don't get it. I personally try to get there as early as possible, I mean who wants to tailgate/drink for an hour or less?

This was my first home game this year.  I thought the crowd was pretty good. Better than I have seen in the past.

 

We are clearly a fanbase-in-transition though. In the Jets game I sat in the home side, lower level, and there were a bunch of other 20 somethings around me being loud as fug, cheering during the right times, knowing player names, etc. 

 

On the other hand, there were still plenty of quiet "Panther" fans, who didn't yell/cheer/stand, and kept looking at me and the others like "why are you being loud".  Those people always disappear sometime in the third qtr, never to be seen again. Me and my buddies have always wondered where they go.

Tailgating at 830-9 am is not very fun and this is why NFL tailgating isn't the same as college. Most games start at 1 and this isn't ideal. College tailgates aren't that lively for 1230 kick offs either.

Sorry buddy, CLT is a white collar town and the majority are not unemployed or low wage.

I don't think you know what majority means. There are more people who are unemployed or making less than $30k/year than those making 6 figures.
