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.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
