Different Experience

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.

      injury updates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season. Here are a few updates on other Panthers returning from injuries:     https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/panthers-injury-updates-brown-tremble-barno-wallace
