Why do you think you see pictures of a stadium full of people wearing bags when they played horrible? The fans were still there supporting the team even when they were horrible. Falcons can't even fill up their stadium before halftime in years they go 12-4. I remember the Georgia Dome offering free hot dogs to bribe people into being in their seats when game starts.

UUhh. Your stadium was not full when you were the bagheads. Get real. That stadium sold out in the early 90s and the late 00s. 

 

 

 

In 2006 despite being a better team you were behind the falcons in attendance. 

2007 when everyone knew we would suck? 3 spots ahead in attendance LOL. NO was a sb pick that offseason.

 

Just for the record i do think Saints fans are more loyal on average. The true ones anyway.

I just hope to one day see our stadium packed full of Panthers fans...not Cowboys, Steelers, or Redskins fans. I also hope the lower bowls are someday filled with people that actually care to be there. As a diehard Panthers fan I've gotta admit, our gameday fanbase is pretty pathetic.

Until I started posting here, I had never heard of this and still find it very strange. Why would you go to another teams game all the time in your teams jersey? I mean I understand if you want to see the occasional live football game so you go to the local teams game, but they have people with Panther season tickets doing this. A lot of times these people are at the Panthers game while their team plays at same time, why wouldn't you want to watch your own team play on TV at home or at a local sports bar with fans of same team? It makes sense if it's playoffs or SB and your team is eliminated, but otherwise, Just so strange!

It's actually pretty simple.  Charlotte is a huge melting pot of people.  Being the #2 banking city in America brings a lot of people down here from up North, and with them, their teams.  Other jobs have done the same, not to mention people flocking to the triangle area for jobs as well.  Less taxes, less cost of living, and a booming economy brought down tons of people.   I know some real estate agents and half their clients are from NY.  They inherit their parents' house and sell it for a good sum then buy a bigger and nicer house in NC for half the money as the one they sold.    That, combined with the fact that before the Panthers came around people in this area were Redskins and Steelers fans and still hang onto their old teams.  

 

It's a catch-22, on one hand you want all Panthers fans there, but on the other if we weren't a melting pot there is a good change we wouldn't even have sports teams.   Our best bet is the children of those fans become Panthers fans from growing up here.  It'll take time.  Not having back to back winning seasons also hurts the growth.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
