When was your first Panthers game?

[OceanPanther]

September 3, 1995. At Atlanta PANTHERS FIRST GAME

Panthers 1st regular season game .

lost in OT 23-20 shocking the NFL.

Panther fans out numbered falcon fans. 

Drove down from Wilmington. 

There must have been over 20,000 Panther fans . 

Hey , it was our first game and this fan base was , all hands on deck for its first game and road game.

Sep 13, 2004 - Packers ... Smitty breaks his leg.

Like I said before Steelers 96.  But my favorite game was the October 30, 2005 Minnesota game. A gorgeous clear day, A perfect football day. 

Possibly Steve Smith's greatest game.  Fred Smoots was talking about shutting SS down.  BIG MISTAKE.   Steve Torched Smoots for 199 yds and 2 or 3 TDs.  He torched him so bad that he never recovered and was out of the league a couple years later.

Inaugural season, last game of season on Xmas Eve against Skins in RFK (I live in Virginia)...nearly froze to death but I didn’t care. Watched Kerry Collins, Blake Brockermeyer, Wesley Walls, Greg Kragen and the rest try like hell to get the Panthers  to .500 for the season and I swear I was the only Panthers fan there. The Panthers lost but I got to see my new team.

October, '95 at Death Valley against the Jets.  First regular season win in Panther history.

1997 Raiders  we destroyed them.  Fred Lane went absolutely nuts and Kasay kicked his career long field goal.   The whole stadium was rocking when my dad  and I walked out to the chant of FREDDY! FREDDY! FREDDY!

 

 

ps I think Fred carried about 25 players 3 coaches and a trainer about 50 feet out of bounds and still didnt go down. He had an amazing day.  Also I love how this exact same thread pops up every few years its nice to reflect.

'95 vs the Rams in Death Valley.

My dad took me.  We sat on the grassy hill by the rock.

Took leave and drove all the way from Ft Huachuca AZ to be there.  That whole week before and after was awesome for me.

I don't remember when but it was the preseason game where Romanowski broke something of kerry collins. Got free tickets from a sales rep.

I live in Hawaii. My first game was actually the tiegate game in Seattle for my birthday weekend. I was so sore about that game flew my ass to the west coast to watch a thumping.

Jacksonville game at home. I believe it was the Super Bowl year. We were down 17-3 at half and they took out Pete and brought in Delhomme
