1. You can never be known or recognized as a loud fan base when the stadium's acoustic design is atrocious. If the wind is blowing the slightest, you can't even hear the halftime crap, and that's amplified over a loudspeaker system. The only place in the entire stadium where crowd noise has ever had any impact was in the east end zone area. 2. If your team was founded and run by Jerry Richardson, how did you think the crowd would behave? This is as "fired up" as you'll ever see him. 3. Is it still against stadium rules to take your shirt off? Yeah, fans are doing it in Buffalo when it's -20 outside, but when the sun is scorching your ass on the north side of BOA in September, you better not! 4. Larger markets without an NFL team include San Antonio/Austin, and throw in the fact Texas has no state taxes...

I read the article. The only threat of relocation was a rumor they might move to Kannapolis. That would actually be better for me. The discussion about moving to another state was purely conjecture on the part of the reporter. While its certainly not outside the realm of possibility, there hasn't been any actual mention of it.

I knew this was coming, BoA needs an update but Panther fans feelings toward Tepper has yall talking crazy. what ever happens there is already of precedent of the city giving money to team owners and Michael Jordan wasnt the great owner of all time either.

That was a decent article.

You under estimate him.

there is no way you are this obtuse

They are sucker's for passing it. It's just another waste of taxpayers money.

Hey if she made the picks, we would at least have Stroud.

After watching some of the ladies high diving trials last night I'm channeling my sports focus on that for now...

I am not a proponent of them leaving but in that scenario, it might be worthwhile.

People keep saying Tepper wants to move to a bigger market aren't taking in to account that Charlotte has been a pretty quickly growing market. It is currently the 21st biggest market in the country and every city ahead has an NFL team. He would technically have to downgrade market size to move.

Damn, all that gear. My son just gave me a hoodie and a heavy sweatshirt for Father's Day...I'd be good as long as they stay in the Carolinas. Yeah, that's my first thought, so bite me, and get off my grass.

well, if we continue to suck, they deserve it

I went to 4 of those games and they could have been much louder. The team damn near went undefeated. We should have been the loudest fanbase in the NFL. Cam mentioned this in his podcast that he had to get the crowd involved to get him going. Dude shouldn't be running around the stadium just to get the crowd to make noise. Loud crowds don't need the players help to get loud. I been to a couple of Ravens game and their crowd is louder than any Panthers game I ever attended. People say we are loud probably haven't visited other stadiums around the league. Ask Big Kat how different the Panthers crowd are compared to other stadiums. I guarantee you we are at the bottom.

What does this have to do with Panthers fans not being passionate?

In my world this is fact.

Matt Rhule's wife is still the best scout of the Tepper era

Yep. Boston is a big city so a ton of fans to draw from and I grew up close to there. I remember going to pre-Brady games in Foxboro and getting handed a bunch of tickets from people who likely had company tickets. They sure weren’t the current obnoxiously annoying fans back then. The Cam years, especially the playoff runs were a lot of fun. We’ve been poo for 6 years now. In 2018/2019, we went 1-15 to finish those years. That pretty much guts a fan base when you also lose both your best offensive player ever and best defensive player ever after 2019.

gonna come out this was a Nicole pick

so we can't hear our calls b/c opposing fanbases flood the stadium?

the plan all along. GTFO and get someone in here to start over.

I thought this article was stupid AF. And when the hell was Tepper trying to talk to Kannapolis? I couldn't find any information on it other than this article.

TBH, if there's one place there should be an overabundance of humor is any conversation about the Panthers or the Hornets. Otherwise, I'd think some are just taking the game way too seriously.

We have one of the worst stadiums in the NFL. Why not bulldoze it and build a real dome or something conducive to crowd noise like Seattle has? This would just be lipstick on a pig

I mean, 40 year olds that grew up on other teams.....simply aren't the same as people that were passed down a team for generations in their family. When I was kid, my favorite player was Darrell Greene. Because my team was the Skins. If the Panthers suck, I can just watch the NFL at large. It is what it is. I adopted the Panthers because they were the local team. The Panthers and the Browns simply aren't going to have the same fanbases right now. Shouldn't be expected. And most of the real purchasing power is with people who didn't grow up with the Panthers. The money isn't with a 19 year olds. and if the Hurricanes were less successful, people wouldn't be hyping the Raleigh fanbase as much. But I can concede that is slightly different, as hockey isn't big in the south so most in the area haven't switched over from other teams. It's their introduction to the sport. Which makes hockey a little unique as sport. If you have Raleigh a random MLB team that sucked......I don't that folks could get away with claiming Raliegh fans are "built different" than Charlotte folks.
