We sold our season tickets this year, for a variety of reasons. Good reasons that have nothing to do with the team's performance or anticipated performance.

I have very, very mixed emotions about this. I only missed two games last year (for health reasons), and those are the only two home games I've ever missed in the entire existence of the team.

Wow ... it's going to be awfully strange!

Guess you will have to change your name to Panthers_Liker now ;-)

j/k sorry I would so hate to be in a position to give up my gamedays....In 2008 at the season opener I tried to make it to the game even though I was literally dying - actually was driven to the gate in a cop car, got in the gate, but could not make it to my seats and had to be wheelchaired out. Wife (then GF) drove me home where we watched the end when we came back and beat the Bears, thinking I was going to stroke out on the couch....next morning I was admitted to the hospital for over a week. The idea of not being able to go would be devastating to me.

Hopefully you can pick up a few games to hit during the season....good luck

I am hoping to make some games. I am in physical pain pretty much every day and am working on alleviating that, but it will be a long road, I fear. It was a very difficult decision.

We haven't sold our PSLs, so there's still hope!

I just hated when I ended my streak of never missing a home game. I did attend one last year that I never should have been at ... I was having a reaction to medication I was getting through injections for my knee problem, though we didn't know the medication was the cause at the time. I was just so, so sick and could barely stand up or see what was happening. I even made my daughter drive home, and for people who know me THAT's unheard of -- me letting someone else drive. I couldn't even remember the drive home.

Still love my Panthers, so no name change necessary!

My issue was a reaction to meds as well - wierd

[Panthers_Lover]

[PntherPryd]

Me too PL, get healthy.


but if you get in a bind with those playoff tickets........

[AppStatePanther]

get healthy brother. That's definitely first and foremost and hope you get back out there soon.

[Panthers_Lover]

Thanks, everybody. Working on the health issues. Just talked with a friend of mine who has box seats who said he'd work with me to be able to get up there at least a couple of games. He has close parking, which will help. (He's the guy I bought my Super Bowl tickets from, for face value.) Nice!

I wish my fan-base had more die hard fans like yourself. Take a year off and get better physically. I'm sure you'll be back at BoA for the 2013 campaign.
