Winning will bring more of our fans in.

Has a lot to do with probability imo...in these tough times anyway you could go to a game and probably see a team that usually collapses collapse or watch it from home. Its true, get some fugin back to back winning seasons in here...otherwise its the Panthers that have been the free wins for many teams.

Real or not, cities like Philly, Pittsburgh, NYC have an "edge". Charlotte has never had an edge and never will. It's southern hospitality, it's good ol boys, it's country, it's NASCAR, etc. Not to mention it's a banking city where the wine and cheesers far outnumber the blue collar folk ... especially when it comes to ticket purchases. You'll never be Philly Fan or match the sheer insanity of crowds that the Yankees and Red Sox deliver during the Playoffs for example. Just be happy you have a team, love them, and don't worry about who comes into "your house" because your house has a welcome mat.

Atmosphere sucks.  Sitting in good seats in the Panthers side of the stadium and I was surrounded by Eagles fans.  20,000 empty seats. More noise coming from the opposing fans.  Game day in Charlotte is simply a social event for Panthers “fans.”  

nose bleeds were near 200 dollars, cant afford. went with the minny tickets for half the price. seeing that take over today pained me though.

Is absurd....other teams always walk around like it's their house and I'm sick of seeing a conservative 20% of opposing fans in our stadium , cheering and chanting or whatever. I wish we we were like other stadiums where opposing team fans were sketched out to even wear a shirt of the visiting team.

 

Do you ever think we get to that point or are we always gonna have a welcome mat for other teams?

It’s been like that as long as I’ve been around. I’ve been going to games since 95 when it was at Clemson and had PSLs for nearly a decade, it’s never really been like that. I think it was even described as a “wine and cheese” environment at some point.
 

Closest I can remember it being somewhat hostile is 2013-2014ish. There was a stretch in 2004-2005 where the fans were pretty emotional.

i’ve been going to games since 1999 and it’s a rollercoaster

after 2003 up until Jake meltdown in 2008, it was actually really good

also from about 2013-2016 it was really good 

and if you’ve ever been to a playoff game in Charlotte, it’s the loudest most hardcore fans you’ll ever see in any stadium (and I’ve been to 10 other stadiums)

Reality is, without back to back winning seasons and losing overall…the fans aren’t going to show up and pay $ for that poo

JR was a business man he wasn’t interested in wins above revenue, fans won’t respond to that, despite sending out heartfelt ‘didn’t know it would be THIS bad’ letters to them

honestly I don’t blame people for not showing up consistently

Maybe fans don’t believe in Rhule or Darnold or Tepper 

I was there today. Just like every other big fan base, it was about 25% the other team 

guess what, even in Dallas, that happens  

if you care so much, buy a ticket and show up 

IMHO you should be a lot more worried about the product on the firld than the fans watching it 

I assure you, that product offensively and special teams and perhaps the coaching staff is subpar 

if you can’t do without  CMC then you best be drafting a replacement as he is made of glass last season abd trending that way this season.

What a bunch of sad, pathetic dorks you all are! You want Panthers Stadium to be inhospitable to opposing fans? So you don’t have to feel like a loser when the team you root for loses? Because you’re too much of a pussy to tell opposing fans to STFU on your own? Hahahaha!

Nice to see that @Still Brooklynstill thinks the city he lives in is some sort of substitute for an actual personality. “MY city has an ‘edge.’”

LOL! You live in the lamest borough and you’re scared to walk on your own street at night.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
