It's finally here!!! Who's pumped?!?! I know I am!! 

 

I can already smell the familiar, yet comforting aroma of sweat, beer, Jagermeister, and MadHatter's projectile vomit. 

 

Once again we commence another year of seeing each other's faces 8 (hopefully more) different, but equally important times to support the one cause we can all come together and support, our undying love for THE PANTHERS!

 

This week, the Panthers take on The Detroit Lions who travel to the warm Southeast to face Cam Newton and get a taste of what it's like to live in a city that's not bankrupt.

 

Below is everything you need to know about the tailgate with most questions answered. Make sure you read through everything below before you post any questions in the thread. Please be patient as this is our first crack at this, we will put threads out on the Monday or Tuesday prior to each home game.

 

TL;DR version- come anytime after 8am. Bring me my damn money and I feed you. BYOB.

 

****If you plan on joining us at the tailgate, please let us know in this thread so that we can have an approximate head count when we order food. If you are bringing guests, please let us know if you can estimate how many people you will be bringing. Doesn’t need to be exact, but we don’t want to order food for 70 people if only 30 are going to show up and vice versa. ****

 

WHAT TIME?: 

RoaringRiot and some of the regulars will be out early per usual around 8am. Feel free to come out as early as 8am, but we will not be serving food until around 11am. IF you decide to come early, especially super early, please come ready to help us set up! There is a lot that needs to be done and with this being our first week, we have no idea how much man power we will need.

 

 

LOCATION:

Location for the new tailgate will be 601 S. Cedar St. This is the location where Hartigan’s used to be (will now be replaced with Draught) and is right beside the practice fields. If you are familiar with the Morehead side of the stadium, Cedar is the first light after you go past the stadium on your right going towards Freedom OR if you are coming from the highway, Exit off 77 on Trade Street and take a right on Cedar. 

 

PARKING:

Parking is all around where we will be, you can either choose to park down Morehead towards Freedom, or anywhere in the office buildings across the street from us, you can also go under the tunnel up Morehead to the other side of the stadium (not recommended since that is where the DogHouse is and there are people everywhere), or you could park over on the Mint side of the stadium and cut through near the practice fields.

 

People who tailgate around us already, please feel free to chime in with your suggestions on the best areas for parking- cookinwithgas and SCP I know you both tailgate over there!

 

Here is an aerial view of the Tailgate. The red spot is where we will be. The yellow line is the walk to the stadium (or you can just walk up Morehead to the gate on that side).

THE GOODS (WHAT’S INCLUDED):

In addition to the tailgate spots that Roaring Riot has donated to us in the lot, the following will be included:

·         Our very own Porta-Potty 

·         Food this week will be provided by Sauceman's BBQ- food will be out by 11am, come early to eat!

·         Water/Soft Drinks- we will not be providing alcohol, BYOB

·         Music 

·         Convenient Parking nearby

·         Close to WFNZ DogHouse

·         Short 5 minute walk to the stadium

·         Family friendly atmosphere (to a certain extent since I have a mouth like a Sailor)

·         Inclusion into a lot already dominated mainly by some of the largest Panthers tailgates in CLT

·         Various tailgate activities including Cornhole, Kan Jam, Ladder Ball, Beer Pong/Flip Cup

·         Tents, tables, silverware, etc. provided

 

HOW WILL I KNOW WHO YOU ARE?:

I am currently working on our banner which I hope we will have in time for Sunday. Look for the Carolina Huddle banner, but we will also have a tent up and some signage if I can get it printed at work this week. If all else fails, look for the tiny blonde standing next to a giant guy in an "i love boobies" tshirt with a bottle of hot sauce in his hand. We will have out tables and corn hole, etc. 

 

It's awkward for us all to make that introduction since its freaking weird to say your Huddle user name to someone IRL, but I promise it's worth it once you get past that hump. We won't bite, we are a very inviting group, and NO we will not tell your wife and daughter about that time you posted numerous gifs of tits and talked about all the chicks you banged before you were married.....ask biscuit, he'll back me on that :D

 

DO I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IN IF I DIDN'T DONATE PRIOR TO THE SEASON?:

No, you do not have to pay to get in; however, if you want to eat our food and use our Porta John, plan on bringing a cash donation (no minimum required) to put in the bucket I will be passing around at the tailgate. Yes, I will be harassing you, yes, I will know if you are avoiding me ;)

 

 

I SPONSORED, HOW DO I GET MY FREE SWAG?

You should have received an email if you have stepped up to sponsor. Thank you again for your support, its very much appreciated! We will be providing your swag this weekend including your T-shirt which was included in the email for a size request. If you don't email us and let us know, we will give you a S! [email protected]

 

 

CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE SUPER AWESOME T-SHIRTS?

Yes, you can, they will be available for purchase at the tailgate for a small fee. 

 

 

I WANT TO BRING MAH FRANZ/FAM, DO THEY HAVE TO PAY AS NON-HUDDLERS?

Please, bring your friends! Especially if they are Panthers fans! Just like you, if they plan on eating, etc., please ask the group to make a small donation, it only goes to help us provide more food and drinks for you! If you plan on bringing fans of the opposing team, we will be asking for double normal donations because they aren't Panthers fans- any Steelers fans- quadruple. Should be a profitable tailgate that week. eff you steelers fans.

 

IS THERE A LIMITATION ON THE ALCOHOL I CAN BRING?

That's a no. Especially when it gets cold, feel free to bring some moonshine to cover your donation costs for that game. Or, you can be like Arsen and bring some Vodka, or there's the always delicious and rarely seen Bo's cooler which comes with lots of goodies including jello shots! We will try to provide as many coolers as we can for everyone to store their beer, but please feel free to bring your own.

 

Feel free to post any other questions not covered in the thread. If anyone has Skew's information and other people who join the tailgate I may be forgetting, please reach out to them and let them know where our new location will be!

 

Can't wait to see you all Sunday prior to dominating Megatron and the Lions!!

I threw this out to Hatter and I'm willing to do the same for anyone who has sponsored the tailgate.... I am willing to bring your beers/alcohol out to the tailgate so that you don't have to worry about keeping up with a cooler. If you communicate with me a few days before, I'll pick it up, pack it up in my car, and bring it out to you. You will have to reimburse me when you get there, but won't have to bring a cooler every week. Again... I am only willing to do this for tailgate sponsors.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
