Josh is that you?! 2 kids for us, Riley is doing great! Good mems for sure. When I get some time I’ll post a bunch of the ones I still have I still have @Darth Biscuitand the Huddle to thank for meeting my husband! Never would have had the courage to pick him up at the gym without all of you guys telling me to pull the dumb card - totally worked

It was a lot of fun working with Zack and figuring out the membership, donations, setting it all up. We had some truly epic tailgates in the days before RR got big- I remember that year we played the Steelers and the Seahawks (that was when the Seahawks were really good), and we just stood there and harassed every single bandwagon Seahawks/Steelers fan that walked by...man, good times. That was also the same year (I think?) that we went down to Jacksonville, that was an INSANNNNEEEEE trip and game. Its wild to see how much Roaring Riot just blew up after that, and its still going! You were always a supporter @Darth Biscuit

What's up everyone, long time! It's been about 10 years since I logged on, I figured I'd make a return on here after all these years and what better time than now? I was looking through some pictures yesterday from the playoff run in 2015 and the tailgates we put on back then before Charlotte changed so drastically and kept tearing down our lots, thought it might be fun to come on here and say hello. I'd love to start a nostalgia thread in the Panthers forum so everyone can post their pics from way back. Hope all of you are doing well, in good health, and ready for the start of the revival of this franchise. I'm feeling the most optimistic I have in 10 years, looking forward to my kids hopefully seeing a legit team for the first time in their lives. Here's a few from the last time the Huddle tailgate was alive, in case any of you n00bs were wondering how hard we used to go back in the day....

I know work is killing me!!! Still have yet to find time to post TG my pics thread

Its about that time of year for the old 'Jangler creates a female avatar and tricks everyone right before posting bewb pics' thread. Except that time 4-5 years ago when it really was me, a girl.....that REALLY threw everyone off

I hate I haven't been here to read this thread!! Either way, this tailgate is going to be effin EPIC.....you are the ish RR, Thanks for putting all this together!

Hey buddy! Long time no see!

Well hello everyone

As a few people said, its hot as all hell down there----- take a portable fan! especially if you are a woman. standing around for 3 hours in the muggy weather dripping sweat around a bunch of sweaty men and packed in close with people I don't know is not my idea of a good time. buying a mini fan was the best training camp purchase I've made. lola made a good point- if you can wear a dress do it. you just might not be able to sit down. I always like to wear Panthers colors, but sometimes it just doesnt work for me since it has rained the past 2 years and my hair has gone to poo. if you cannot stand for more than 30 minutes at a time and don't want to wander around to watch all the different break outs, feel free to bring a chair. there is a place with bleachers where you can sit, but that is usually the VIP section for people who get on-field passes. they bring them out about 30 mins after practice starts and sit them there. otherwise, there is no other place to sit that isn't grass. bring a chair- esp if you go to a morning practice, the grass is still wet from morning dew. You probably won't get an autograph unless you go stand over there roughly 30 minutes before practice ends, which is usually when the most exciting things are going on. sorry, just trying to be honest with you. I am the size of a child and have only gotten 1 autograph ever- #89! children completely overtake that area and I feel bad trying to push through them all. It is fun to stand there and see all the guys walk off the field, though. They appreciate you yelling a "good job, today"' or "lookin good out there", especially the new guys trying to make the team. In my opinion, the best spot to stand is back near where Zod has labeled the "Morning Shade Area". Its usually pretty packed and since I am extremely short, I squeeze in right behind the field goal of the right field from the aerial shot. He's right, you get some shade back there, but there are a lot of bugs and its also extreeeeemely humid. But, that is usually where the offense breaks out and the quarterbacks stand most of the practice. Some of the last half, they will run drills right there in front of you in the end zone, but sometimes they go on the other side of the field and all you can see is the back of the play. A few of my pet peeves- don't stand there and act like you don't know who anyone is, they give you a full player's guide as you walk in- use it to your advantage and don't look like a dumbass. I might not be able to follow 1st team 2nd team, etc. but I at least know who plays what position and who is competing for certain positions. If we are 5 feet from players and watching drills, don't stand there and have a 30 minute conversation about your friends and the plans you have for the weekend- no one gives a poo! we are all there to watch football- if you aren't interested, stop taking up a good spot and go sit in your car. IF YOU WEAR THE JERSEY OF AN OPPOSING TEAM TO MY TEAM'S TRAINING CAMP, I WILL COMPLETELY EMBARRASS YOU IN FRONT OF EVERYONE THERE. NO, I'M NOT KIDDING. JACKASS. you look like a complete dumbass wearing another team's jersey to an event in a small town where you have to go out of your way to get there and where only hardcore fans will most likely attend. If you are there and we are not- please make all attempts to live tweet- we want to know whats going on play by play! most of you are pretty good at this already and we create a tweet thread for almost every practice. I think someone will be taking me down to the 8/7 practice for my bday this year- morning practice! See you guys down there! GET EXCITED! Panthers season is almost here!

Whaaaat?! You have to be there!! That way I can say I met boo!

yeah, i don't know if we are going to make it this year. its just become SUCH a mob scene for panthers fans.

haha, and if you google Chandler Carolina Panthers, one of the articles on the first page that comes up is: "Nate Chandler’s last-minute switch pays dividends for Carolina Panthers"
