Different Experience


Davis83

Recommended Posts

Just got back home from my 1st Panthers game - awesome!  wow, what a different experience than watching on TV.  We sat over the tunnel that the Vikes used.  Was a little disappointed when I realized that - just never knew they entered and exited from across - but never the less it was great.  Did have a whole row of drunk vike fans 2 rows behind us and 1 panther fan that kept screaming at the nearest cheerleader (even though the move around).  My ears are nearly blown and I'm hoarse from yelling.  Many awesome Panther fans around us that act like they've known you forever.  Had a great view of the tackle on the vike fan behind the bench.  Great video of Fun Fun and Cam celebrating the TD.

 

To whom ever sold the tickets we bought - it was money well spent.  Whole day with my son doing what we do every Sunday - just this time in person.  I'm hooked on attending games - just hate the 5 hour drive home afterwards.  Getting from BOA to Salisbury sucks!

Was an epic game. I flew in from Boston this morning and flew back tonight. Getting to and from the stadium and our seats was easy as hell and all around a great game experience. I was in section 110 on the Vikings side and I will say there were a lot of Vikings fans near me there -- doing their weird little "skol" chant while doing some dumb arm movement, it was frankly quite embarrassing to see grown people doing. And there were times during the game where the stadium wasn't all that loud when it should've been, but all around a great game.

Wait, what's this about the tackle of a Vikings fan?

I’m glad you had a great experience man. I wasn’t able to make it today due to a work Christmas Party (I still streamed that ish until we stopped the Vikings on 4th to seal the game). My friends and family look at me crazy when I tell them I’d rather go to the game than sit watching it on tv, but you see why. The atmosphere is generally electric. I don’t care if it’s bitterly cold or hellishly hot (have experienced both). My ass will be in a seat if there’s nothing work related I have to attend (I’m lucky to generally not work on sundays). 

Anyway glad you enjoyed it. Come back again sometime soon!

Salisbury, NC?

Took 5 hours total to get from BOA to Goldsboro  NC.  Took 90 minutes just to get to Salisbury - bumper to bumper till there.

Vike fan - yes,  we were in section 137 and a fan from one of the endzone sections jumped down and ran for the Panther sideline - he totally bowled over a female event staff worker and got tackled by the Police just short of where the kickers practice net was.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
