Huddle Tailgate Thread- *Panthers vs. Bears*

Recommended Posts

This week the Panthers face the bum Jay Cutler and Da Bears to see if we can recoup from last week's embarrassment and become a 3-2 team atop the NFCS. 

 

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. 

 

****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. ****

 

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

 

 

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:

Our new permanent location for this season is 601 S. Cedar St. This is the location where Hartigan’s used to be (is now 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 yellow highlighted spots are not where we are, we are actually more where the yellow car is up from there. If someone can fix that for me.....that would be awesome hehe

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 Papa John's Pizza, mmmm garlic sauce

·         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, Beer Pong/Flip Cup

·         Tents, tables, silverware, etc. provided

 

HOW WILL I KNOW WHO YOU ARE?:

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. Some of us wear our Huddle Tshirts each week, so look for those and the PortaJon.

 

If you are looking at the roped off area outside of Draught, we are directly to the left where the PortaJon is under the tents. 

 

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  ;)

 

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

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.

You're right...this IS outdated....I'll be out there at 7:30am NOT 8am. 

 

In light of how important this game is to get the Panthers back on the right track I think EVERYONE needs to man up and be out there tailgating before 9am. No excuses - be there.

 

Who's coming with me?

I will be there.   :)

 

J will also be there and he's bringing a friend who is a Bears fan.  (I cannot account for his taste in friends)

 

 

I got fooled into thinking Bo was going to be there in week 1. Made the trip down just for that, got a speeding ticket that is costing me a fortune on the way there, and he didn't show. No way I am falling for it that you are going this week. 

 

 

Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on me again. 

 

(That's how it goes right?)

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
