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!

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.

    • How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?
    • Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.
    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
