Fan Equity is a matter of judging how well fans support their team by backing up their words with dollars — i.e., how much they spend on everything from season tickets to jerseys. If a team fills its stadium but there’s not much demand past that, their Fan Equity score is lower.

Social Equity is based on a team’s social media reach — i.e., how many followers the team has across various social media channels. A team that’s not able to draw many followers on social isn’t a team with a deep degree of Social Equity.

Road Equity involves measuring how well a team draws on the road, adjusting for team performance. People show up to watch when the Cowboys or Steelers come to town. People don’t show up to watch when, say, the Bengals or Titans do. (Sorry, Cincy and Tennessee, but you know it’s true.)

 

Panthers were 22 for Fan Equity, 5 for Social Equity, 27 for Road Equity.

Our fan base is trash outside of a VERY small group. I'd put us somewhere between 21-28. The bottom 4 being Rams, Jaguars, Chargers & Cardinals. Back to back winnings seasons will help us improve. But have virtually 0 road presence outside of RR for away games. Even our home games are shameful.

NC has traditionally always struggled with consistent professional sports support. The (real) Hornets, Hurricanes and Panthers have all had extremely high levels of support when they were winning. However, when that starts to slide, the support has traditionally declined with it. That is largely the case with just about any team, obviously, but it does seem more pronounced in areas like ours where there is not a long history of professional athletics.

Only one way to cure it, win, win and win some more.

I was at the game against the Giants last year, and it was legitimately 50-50 in the stands.  I've been to (I think) 14 games since 2001 and used to always balk at the notion of a true split from a visiting fanbase like that, but it really looked like it to me that day.

We're still a new team. We've only have one generation of adult fans who had the chance to grow up following the Panthers as their football team. I was in college by the time the team got to Charlotte, and many of my friends were already Redskins fans by then. Also, fug the Redskins. We need another 20 years before we start to approach the upper middle pack of fandoms. It's all about time and getting people to buy in.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
