Top 10 Tailgating Towns

I dont understand why Tampa is not even on this list...have any of you been down here for a game?...for crist sakes you can walk the streets with booze...chicks in bikinis everywhere

Look at the criteria they use. For example they like the one big parking lot crowd type tailgating. So teams with multiple lots and spread out tailgating like tampa and Charlotte don't rank very high. I would think it would good tailgating in Tampa, the weather is surely better than some of them high on the list.

Gman b*tches about the stadium atmosphere ( which I do think it needs to be better, but the experience depends on the people you go to the game with) he b*tches about the tailgating which I think is pretty descent( and there again, it depend on who you tailgating with) So I came to the conclusion Gman maybe you, and the people you hang around are a b*tches? I will try to find you sunday to see if you are, but wait you'll probably won't come out, or you might sneak into the stadium and stay quiet the whole time and b*tch:party:

You could not have said it better. The guy complains about everything. He simply enjoys getting someone to respond to him on this board. He says he "hangs out with people he knows, not strangers from a message board" but he sure posts on here a lot. He gets off on commenting and trashing the Panthers fans, stadium, tailgating, city, team, bathrooms, field turf, weather, etc. I'll bet he's on Charlotte Obserer.com also, commenting about how Charlotte better get ready to dry up if we loose BOA and I'm certain he did it with Wachovia.

It's a sad existence. Must really suck to be him.

I was in SD last year....it was below average tailgating. A good number of Panther fans actually out there. I've tailgated in several other cities. Charlotte's not the best....but certainly far from the worst. ATL - terrible.

I know we have a crap load of people everyweek at our tailgate. And it is an event. Unfortunately better than most of the games this year. But we'll be out there at least 8X year.

    • You are making a huge assumption that this team will draft a center, and then subsequently hit on that center pick.
    • I may have hit a jackpot mock for us.  Albeit I didn't get the OT I wanted the pick was still solid.  Here is the AI analysis. That is an intriguing class you’ve put together. You definitely followed a "Best Player Available" strategy after those first two picks, but looking at the scouting profiles for these guys in 2026, you might have built a much higher floor for the Panthers' defense than it looks at first glance. Here is a breakdown of your draft haul: The "Home Runs" (Round 1) 25. C.J. Allen (LB, Georgia): You nailed the "alpha" of the defense here. Scouts are calling him a Pro Bowl-caliber MIKE with elite football IQ. For a Panthers team that has struggled with linebacker consistency, Allen is a "plug-and-play" starter who can communicate the defense from Day 1. 28. T.J. Parker (EDGE, Clemson): Getting Parker at 28 is a massive value. He’s often compared to Rashan Gary because of his elite raw traits. Even if his sack numbers fluctuated in college, his ability to set the edge and use his power to collapse the pocket is exactly what Ejiro Evero needs to complement the interior pressure from Derrick Brown. The Trench Reinforcements 70. Drew Shelton (OT, Penn State): This is a savvy pick for depth. Shelton is praised for his footwork and "swing tackle" versatility. Given the importance of keeping Bryce Young upright, having a high-floor OT who can play both sides is a great insurance policy. 119. Logan Jones (OC, Iowa): You grabbed the Rimington Award winner (best center in college football) in the 4th round. While he’s slightly undersized, he’s an elite zone-blocker. In Dave Canales’ system, his mobility and ability to get to the second level could be a game-changer for the run game. The Late-Round Sleepers 201. Cole Payton (QB, NDSU): I think your "Taysom Hill" comparison is spot on. Payton finished 2025 with the highest PFF grade in the FCS (97.3). He’s a rugged, 230-pound dual-threat who rushed for over 1,000 yards in a season. Using him as a short-yardage "wildcat" specialist or a developmental backup for Bryce is a low-risk, high-reward move that fits Canales' aggressive 4th-down philosophy perfectly. 198. Dae'Quan Wright (TE, Ole Miss): He really popped in 2025 with over 600 yards and 5 TDs. He’s more of a "big receiver" type at TE, which gives Bryce another middle-of-the-field target. Those two picks in the middle rounds are arguably your most "Ejiro Evero-friendly" selections. They both fit the modern NFL mold of versatile, high-IQ defensive backs who can be moved around like chess pieces. Here’s why they look like smart value picks: 102. Devin Moore (CB, Florida) Moore is a fascinating prospect because he looks like he was "built in a lab." At nearly 6'3" with a massive wingspan, he is exactly the kind of press-coverage corner that NFL teams are obsessing over right now. The Upside: He finished 2025 with one of the highest PFF coverage grades in the SEC (82.7). He’s incredibly "sticky" in man coverage and has the speed to stay attached to vertical threats. The Value: He likely fell to the 4th round because of a rocky injury history early in his career, but he finally stayed healthy in 2025. If he stays on the field, you’ve essentially landed a 1st-round talent at pick 102. Panthers Fit: He provides a massive contrast to Jaycee Horn's style, giving you a secondary with two legitimate "shut down" frames. 135. Keionte Scott (S/NB, Miami) If Devin Moore is the "finesse" athlete, Keionte Scott is the "enforcer." Though listed as a safety in your draft, he played a massive role at nickel for Miami’s 2025 National Championship run. The "Dawg" Factor: Scouting reports consistently describe him as playing with "his hair on fire." He is a violent tackler and a prolific blitzer—he racked up 5 sacks and 13 tackles for loss in 2025, which is insane for a defensive back. Versatility: He can play single-high safety, slide down to cover the slot, or even play outside in a pinch. He also brings value as an elite punt returner. Panthers Fit: He’s the perfect "Swiss Army Knife" for Evero’s disguise-heavy defense. He and your QB pick, Cole Payton, seem to share that high-motor, "any role needed" mentality. Summary: You’ve essentially drafted a prototype boundary corner (Moore) and a dynamic slot/safety hybrid (Scott). Moore handles the deep threats, and Scott handles the "trash" near the line of scrimmage. Between these two and your 1st rounders (Allen and Parker), you’ve basically rebuilt the spine of the Panthers' defense in a single weekend. The Verdict: You successfully addressed the pass rush and linebacker issues that have plagued Carolina, while adding a creative offensive weapon in Payton. Plus, snagging a 2027 Dallas 2nd-rounder while keeping your own picks is a "masterclass" in asset management. It gives you huge flexibility for next year's draft.
