Rumor: (Confirmed) Carolina Panthers to charge admission to Fan Fest in 2017

I have a friend that has been working for the organization now for a few years.There was a company meeting a few weeks ago that was attended and It was explained to me that this years Fan Fest will involve an admittance fee. It wasn't said whether it was fifty dollars or fifty cents, only that there will be an admittance fee. The organization will be treating this event as a regular season game day. After the past season ticket system, and people trying to profit off of it, it will now be a fee based ticket system this year. I have no reason to believe I was lied to and I have done several internet searches to see if this claim is in fact true or false. I have come up empty in my endeavors. To be clear this is only an unsubstantiated internet rumor imposed by me based on the things I have been told. What say you Huddle, can you find anything in regards to this?

 

Oh, also by the way. Adults that are sitting in the end zone when a touch down is scored and Cam wants to give the ball to a kid and you, as an adult, interfere. You will be asked to leave the stadium. There has been a real problem from adults taking the balls away from the kids when Cam scores a TD.

Any adult that would try to take a ball from a kid needs to be ejected. Or kicked in the groin

Even more, ban them from the stadium forever and revoke their fandom. That's some low poo there.

The problem is all the people that scooped up 6 tickets last year because they were free and ended up just not going. So many empty seats last year.

If they charge a small fee it will automatically eliminate those wishy washy fans who claim a block of seats without knowing if they will go or not.

Yep - exactly. 

And the show at the end of practice alone is worth the $5 charity donation to get in. Let's all think here before overreacting.

What a sad little party they are having together.

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
