A thought about the Panthers fan base...

I was listening to sportstalk radio today, and all you heard about was Brett Favre and Michael Vick. It was stated that since the Vikings signed Favre, they sold thousands of season ticket packages and single game tickets. All home games were now expected to sell out. So...the Panthers games were all sold out in less than two weeks except maybe a preseason game, to my knowledge. Panthers' tickets are always hard to come by when they go on sell to the public, due to the amount of PSLs that are aleady sold. I thought that speaks volumes for our fan base when our tickets sell out much faster than a team like the Vikings who have been around for ever and have a strong fan base. Am I right or looking at this the wrong way? Just a thought...

we are also surrounded by fans of teams that we play. ones that wouldn't give up their original team the inaugural year of their home team. i really hope to see no philly fans on opening day, but I know it is inevitable. same goes for Atl and Was. So the day that tickets go on sale to the general public there are fans of several teams trying to buy.

When we have years long waiting lists for tickets, then we can consider our fan base one of the best. But yeah, we're currently a hotter product than what they offer in the Twin Cities.

Charlotte is an migrant city, half our population is from somewhere else. Which is why I think the seats get empty when we are losing and many people dont stay till the end.

It takes some time for fans to fully adpot the Panthers.

I have been in Carolina for 13 years now and this is the first season I am not getting DIRECT TV to follow the Bills.

I have followed the Panthers since Ive been here and its been easy to also route for the Panthers because they are in a different conference from the Bills.

I will always be a Bills fan, but they will finally be in the back seat to the Panthers from now on. (FIGURES THEY PLAY EACH OTHER THIS YEAR IN CHARLOTTE !!)

If the Panthers didn't sell PSLs,I wonder if the games would sell out?

Good question. I've always figured that the PSL's kept the season ticket base high because people would not want to give up their investment.

HOWEVER, the Vikes had to do everything they could think of to sell out their PLAYOFF game last year. That never happens here in Charlotte. That fan base up there has really taken a turn for the worst.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
