"Q&A with Scott Paul, Executive Director - Stadium Operations

What prompted a review of the current policy?

A banner supporting the visiting team was pulled down and damaged before Sunday's game. We want to make sure our policy is clear and serves the best interests of our organization.

Was the banner in question returned or replaced?

We've reached out to the owner of the banner and we're in the process of providing a replacement.

Was the banner approved by security before it entered the stadium?

Yes. The banner was in compliance, with the understanding that no banners or flags expressing support of visiting teams may be affixed to or displayed on any surface.

Why are visiting team signs permitted and will that continue?

We are reviewing our policy. We'd rather not see opposing signage in our stadium, but when this policy was developed it was consistent with the vast majority of NFL stadiums.

When do you expect the policy review to be completed?

We've just begun the process and are working to finish the review in a timely manner.

Do you worry that any policy changes could negatively impact the game day experience for Panthers fans?

We've had unbelievable fan support, which has been a big part of the team's success at home. The reality is that we continue to see very few banners on game day and don't feel that policy changes would in any way impact the atmosphere at our home games."

What's there to review? No opposing team banners. Period. The org better be careful, after this incident I think fans are going to be MUCH more aware of  what opposing fans are doing in our stadium. If the Org doesn't absolutely stand firm on no opposing team banners, our fans will will enforce that rule and that could lead to other issues. Opposing fans aren't coming to BoA and disrespecting this team and its fans any longer. That s**t is over.

Opposing teams should not be allowed to bring this poo into any home team's

stadium period  

it is only asking for trouble  picture it   People have had a lot to drink .  ..

emotions are running high   This idiot starts failing that around if GB takes the lead or worse yet wins  

not pretty and he is pretty damned stupid for thinking this was a good idea  take that banner to philly and he wouldn't get out alive 

he's had his 5 mins of undeserved fame

I'm tired of bending over for other people. People and the NFL already don't like us, so why are we always bending over for them? Fug that racist ignorant POS. He deserved what he had coming. This is just the start that you cannot come into our stadium anymore and take over.

They better not go soft here...seriously if they don't support Cam and have his back on this it would really make this team/org look bad IMO...stand strong and just outright ban other teams signs...this is Cams franchise now...his rules IMO fug that other BS.

Seriously I also hope Cam stood up to the big cat because I'm sure they had a talk...I hope Cam was like look Mr. Richardson I love you and respect you and what you've done here but we cannot allow bs like that and I will continue to tear down banners until you trade me, cut me, or ban those banners outright.

Imagine how crushed Cam would be if they came out and were like "yea other fans can now bring in signs with impunity, Cam shouldn't have done that".

Honestly I thought Rivera should have been more staunch in his defense of Cam...reminds me of how Smitty said Rivera was kind of a coward in regards to his release...

    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet. 
    • oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️ 
    • I'd gamble, miles josh green and 2-3 firsts especially if we could trade both this years and 1 future
