Do you think the new owners will try to make this an Environment where opposing fans are welcomed like JR did or do you think our new owner will try to make it home-field advantage for every game?

One reason I ask is because I saw that we play the Cowboys at home next year.  I've been to a Cowboys game at home and it was not fun, and the Steelers game on my anniversary wasn't either.

The owner can do only so much.  Fans that have season tickets and they sell them to whoever offers the most money.   Usually end up selling to the opposing team players.

I don't have season tickets so when i go to games I buy them online.  Of all the games I have been to the 2010 Cowboy game was by far the most expensive.  When the Cowboys are in town those fans that own those seats sell them and get double or more for those tickets.

I just wish they would sell them to Panther Fans.  That will never ever happen.

The new owner will almost assuredly, no matter how ridiculous it is, demand a new stadium be built. I think the state/local governments will balk at the cost so unless a tether is in place the team will be in St. Louis or some place else. I base this guess largely on the fact that even potential local ownership (Smith or Sabates) want a new stadium in place they can call their own. Team owners in the recent past have tended to look at team purchases as the best opportunity for an early cash-grab by demanding a new stadium built to their specifications. I'd be shocked if the situation didn't in some way mirror what we went through with the arena situation in 2001.

It's not just opposing fans. The owners need to attract people to the stadium. They can do this a million different ways. After just getting back from the ATL game it's amazing how different other stadium envrioments are. Even the cheerleaders were so much more impressive.  10% of the stadium was Panther fans, the rest Falcons, who 90% stayed until the end of the game on a FREEZING night in ATL.

Our gametime home field environment here is Charlotte is severely outdated and lacking. It's no wonder it gets taken over.

St Louis has lost two NFL teams.  It's not happening.

With the great Las Vegas threat gone, Don't see many viable places for a team move.  I can definitely see the power play in the future, but no really at the moment without many viable alternatives.

I don't know of a place that is better than here. But that doesn't mean owners can't be stupid while they're being greedy.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.

      Look at his snap counts, your telling me that his entire college and pro football career every coach he has had has misused him? No offense but I don’t think you understand the role of a slot corner. Mike Jackson is the literal definition of an outside zone corner, he would be totally inept as a slot corner. Ala why he has been an outside corner his entire career.
