City of Charlotte

[MadHatter]

I'm a die hard fan, but I've seen people literally stand up for the entire game to the displeasure of everyone even remotely close. I understand standing up on third down and after a big play or in a crucial moment, but I wanna sit and I don't wanna see someone's fat ass the entire game.

 

If you want to sit, there is a real comfy couch in your living room.

It's even more insane to whine about it.

 

Are people really bitching about not being able to take their shirt off and being 'made' to pray?  I wish those were the worst of my problems.

saturday was exactly what I love about football, it was loud and had great football conversation at the same time. we were standing at the first play but I noticed the couple behind me weren't...so I asked if it was ok, the women said you better, go get em big guy.

they also could watch the huge screen which made it easier to stand. it was perfect and having the guys high five the fans after the game was the perfect ending.

we did have some choice words for Ginn...who turned around to smile at us in the 3rd and said enough please. but it was all in fun and fairly clean chatter

sounds like a college atmosphere is what your looking for....

I was shooting up out of my seat and standing more than I ever had before at a game. I realized at the start of the second half that the row behind me was all older folks so I turned and apologized if I was blocking their view (which is why standing for the whole game is a shitbag move imo, sure you're having fun but what if ppl behind you can't see and can't stand for long periods?). They were very nice and told me to enjoy myself on the special day for the team.

A little courtesy and respect goes a long way. Sometimes it's good to socially police yourself.

Charlotte Panthers tho

This is the downside of PSLs.  Among other things.

Personally, I don't wanna see any of you fuggers with your shirt off.

Yes you do. I look like Kap only my tattoos are from when I was in the military and I'm like 50% less douchey

In that case, maybe you could be the next Huddle Kitten?

Someone at work gave me 4 100-level seats to the last game vs. the Bucs. It was plenty loud, and everyone stood up when the defense was on the field. Everyone was nice and stayed until the end of the game.

 

I think some people just like to bitch about the 'wine and cheesers' because it makes them feel better or superior or something. I don't know. I had season tickets for years and never saw anyone kicked out or asked to sit down because of cheering too loud.

i grew up there and charlotte is lame as heck

[JJT]

There are few places left where it is socially acceptable to be loud, obnoxious and vulgar without repercussion. As a society, we have been burdened with the constant need to socially police ourselves. Sports are the last stronghold. Let's not lose them!

If you want to be loud, obnoxious and vulgar you can always go to a democrat party convention.

Demographics, culture, transplants along with the time of existence of an NFL franchise are all contributing factors.........don't forget the PSL format for the construction of the stadium is highly favorable to those individuals with such income or a business if that be the case of owning those seats.....but it doesn't touch the tax dollars of the general public like so many other stadiums that see the team and facility as "theirs"

 

I grew up in Pgh and have attended many games in Pgh, Philly, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc......................and can tell you from a broad brush demographic that you deal with a more working class type fan......and its also a lot easier to get into trouble there if you are looking for it.......especially if you let alcohol be your guide.

 

......and when you mix alcohol and passion in life you tend to get two things as a result............ a lot of unplanned babies....................and/or........... a lot of unplanned fights....

I could go on forever about this so I'm going to make it as short and sweet as possible.

 

Does anyone else feel like the city of Charlotte is a bunch of fairies? I live in Charlotte, I go to many Hornets games, many Panthers games and loyal to the sports 100 percent. I love this city as well. But you can't even take your shirt off at a game anymore. It's "family friendly" everything. Call security if the guy beside you is acting crazy. God forbid you pay $100 for a Panthers ticket and want to scream and yell a little bit or don't want to sit down the whole game.

 

It bums me out. This city is young and I know we don't compare in history to places like Philly, who has a holding cell in their stadium, or places who will support their teams no matter what like Buffalo, Chicago, New York. But that is what we need. And I just feel like these big wigs in the city "wow" their clients with floor seats or a box suite at Bank of America and close the deal and move on.

 

I just feel like it's so censored here, you can't show your passion. There are people here who love sports. We should be able to show it, if you want to take your shirt off, do it. Me personally, if I catch you in the opposing teams jersey you're in for a long day. I should have that right, so should everyone. Either way, blah blah I'll stop whining. I'm ready for Saturday. Panther nation, BRING THE MOTHER fugIN RUCKUS!

 

The only evidence you present to support that Charlotte is full of a bunch of "fairies"  is that you can't take your shirt off at games. Big fuging deal.

I go to Hornets games and Panther games often and have been to sporting events outside of Charlotte. It's really no different. Our fans are awesome when our team is worth a poo, same goes for other cities for the most part.

 

 

Taking your shirt off at the game doesn't make you a great fan, it makes you a douche.

 

 

exactly

[electro's horse]

the people that want to take their shirts off are the last people you want doing it

 

now me of course they'd probably let me on the field and give me a cheerleader or three, but im a high test alpha male
