Fans Last Night at BOA Stadium

[PhillyB]

it may have something to do with last season... anytime you have a really noticeable season, the fanbase is going to build in some way. our the general excitement level of our fanbase at the beginning of the 04 season, fresh off a superbowl run, was much bigger than the previous year's.

Lets pray that the stadium doesnt run out of grey poupon or the crowd will go nuts.

I was surprised how many people were there for the 1st preaseason game. Thursday will probably be a different story but the place was pretty full.

Could someone define for me the wine and cheese crowd? I apparently don't have a clue as to how to identify these folks? Is everyone in the lower level = wine and cheese? I have yet to see any actual wine or cheese for that matter at any game. Does not being rowdy = wine and cheese?

Yes, Basically what it means is that they are the only fans who are able to afford the REALLY LOW/GREAT seats. Wine and cheese sounds like something you would have at a fancy gathering. Many of these "wine and cheesers" however do not have the same excitement towards the game as the guy up in the HIGHEST nosebleeds who had to search the inner depths of his couch to gather up the ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS For his son and himself to enjoy the game...

Lower Bowl=Wine and Cheese

Upper Bowl=Beer and Nacho's

Hopefully that explained it.:patriot:

Surely they are not gonna come kick you out for yelling! I mean come on it's football!

But this is Charlotte. Someone should text them and tell them to stop playing that wore out stupid canned Panther growl on every friggin play.

[The Link]

Was it me, or were the fans fired up more than usual? I guess it could have been the fact that it was the first home pre-season game.

Or could it be that Panther fans are finally getting into the game more?

Well somebody ahs to give a poo about Panthers football, the players and the FO obviously don't.

[Gman was right]

No, it wasn't any louder. It was just the first game at home in a long time and it was good to see our boys back out on the field. The section next to me tried to start the wave in the 4th Quarter though. God I hate that.

Yep!

[Gman was right]

This thread will have gayman drooling at the finger tips, and he will tell all of you that you are wrong. I wasnt able to see the game and no longer living in Charlotte, I am glad to hear these observations. I hope to be down there for the week 17 match up and will be at both the NYG and NYJ games.

I am 100% convinced that you are Quasi Yoda!

[Gman was right]

They don't literally have cheese,they might be drinking wine,they mostly sit at the club seats(the best view,worst fans)300 section.They are the ones who are apathetic and quiet,talking amonst themselves and will give you dirty looks or even call security on real football fans(standing and cheering,yelling,drinking beer)!I would like to see more johnny 6 packs than whine and cheese,but the whine and cheese pay the most $,they aint going anywhere!

Yep! Only they're not just in the 300 section.

It has been awhile since I went to the stadium and I must admit it was a pretty good atmosphere. I mentioned to my son that things seem to get better and better each year.

Sure there were still a lot of fans with jerseys on from other teams (many were teams that weren't even playing which I will never understand) but the Panther fans represented well for a preseason.

Gonna be rowdy when the Eagles come to town..........better bring your "A game" that day Panther fans.

Like your buddy who rode with you?

But last week I was a falcons troll. The week before I was a Giants troll. Maybe Im just a realistic "troll".

Or maybe you're just someone who sees the worst part of things and just loves to rub it in the face of others who are trying their best to look past the obvious negative things you espouse and onto the positives.

Why you have to do it here is what I wonder.

[Kingpatecu]

I was very impressed with the crowd last night, it was also very impressive when I watched the game replayed on tv today. The noise was very good even late in the 4th.

So you admit most of the board is in denial too eh?
