Opposing fan attendance - a prediction thread

We all know the history of opposing fans flooding BoA during home games.  Obviously our recent trip to SB 50 will help to keep home crowd attendance high, but my question to y'all is:  do you think we've made it over the hump?  Do yall think that even in a slump year we have built up a strong enough fan base to avoid seeing strong opposition fan presence during home games?  Let me clarify that I do not predict a slump in the very near future, but I'm just curious if the Huddle thinks we've matured enough as a fan base to keep home field advantage even during a subpar season.

Look at who we play at home.  Should definitely be 90% at every home game.  That's more a reflection of the schedule.  Chargers,  Cardinals,  vikings,  niners,  chiefs and the the nfc south opponents.   The only real chances of opposing fans is Atlanta. I would say the niners but it's the home opener and they suck

Doubt it will be as much of an issue this year, opposing fans don't travel when there is 110% chance of their team getting it's ass whipped Stonecold style.

When planning road trips, the odds of winning are always something thrown into the mix - when you spend a lot of money for a weekend getaway you want to have a decent chance of leaving the opposing teams stadium happy. So I think there will be a dip in opposing team fans coming to BofA this year, at least the first half of the season, because of that. If we suck for some reason though, the second half of the season will have a lot more of them, as disgruntled bandwagoners try to get something out of their tickets, and opposing team fans will snatch them up to see their team beat Cam.

Will be a decent amount of NC State turned Charger fans when they come down due to Phillip Rivers. Even though the 49ers suck, they'll still have pretty good attendance. 

I think we're getting better, but there's still a ways to go. Opposing fans better not bring any signs into the stadium, though. Cam's not having that poo.

I hear ya. As far as opponent bandwagon fans attending our home games, last year was lame (I attended the Eagles game. Philly fans suck a$$) but this year's pretty different since a lot of our opponents at home are from the Midwest or West.

When the 9ers played here in the playoffs in 2013, there were tons of 9er fans. Tons! They took over the Observer deck and were everywhere. There was an audible "DEFENSE" chant when the Panthers were on a 3rd and short attempt. Let's go 9ers! Could be heard loud and clear.

This is where I was going with my post too.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
