NFL stadium power rankings: Which team has the best home field? (yahoo.com)

I didn't know power ranking stadiums was a thing?  It seems we cant get love anywhere, in any sort of rankings.  But yeah, the article is a fun read.

 

24. Bank of America Stadium

"Another typical outdoor venue, the Carolina Panthers play in a moderate climate in Charlotte, North Carolina. The venue is also the home of the ACC Championship Game and the Belk Bowl. So, they must be doing something right."

As some who has experienced a share of stadiums, I’d say this is about right. There are only a few that are worse than BOA. Definitely needs an upgrade. We don’t have a rich history like the Packers so no need to pretend we do like JR did and keep things in the dinosaur age. And I think every gets the hint after 20 years of disturbed. And these rankings also take into account the fans…which will never change unless the Panthers have some sort of sustained success.

The environment in BOA when we do make it in playoffs is actually pretty decent…but just as bipolar is the Panthers success, the fans are as well. Just no momentum.

Yeah, NC professional sports are kind of all that way. Start very strong, the teams start to disappoint and then the fans become fickle. 

I do think that if we get Panthers Stadium 2.0 under Tepper(seems likely) it will be pretty insane.

Ericsson Stadium, when it opened in 1996, was State. Of. The. Art.

Now, even with renovations, BOA stadium is a concrete nightmare of a time long gone and best forgotten.

...this isn't about the "stadium" (as it goes to the physical structure)...

...it's about the fans/vibe/uncomfortability-factor...

Panthers Stadium is a beautiful facility and gives up nothing across the league as it goes to the actual venue --- sure, there are fancier places...but none offer a better overall experience from an amenities perspective...

What part of this is talking about the fans?  Really, which combination of words below references them?

Compare it to the write-up of one of the top 10. Clearly the fans are a factor on this particular list.

7. Arrowhead Stadium

It's an outdoor venue, it's grass, it's a simple video board, but the fans make Arrowhead Stadium come alive — whether it's being raucous and proud during the game, or tailgating at a world class level in the parking lot beforehand. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Chiefs fans roared to a level of 142.2 dbA on Sept. 29, 2014, when Kansas City rocked the New England Patriots 41-14 on Monday Night Football. No wonder Bill Belichick was on to Cincinnati.

Swedish company naming a stadium in a city barely any Swede had heard of. That is weird. Sure they were top of the world at that time but still. And they opted out of the contract because the it-crash in early -00 and the company nearly went bankrupt. Sounds about right for this team, up and down.. Sorry guys and gals

      Canes vs Kings 3pm

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
