Charlotte fans are definitely performance-based. No support for losing teams. It can’t be that different for other markets as well. The Hornets games will pick up if they keep winning 

Charlotte is a huge transplant city too and all the sports teams are generally quite young. I mean the panthers are what? Halfway through their third generation? So it’ll still be another 5-10 years before the children of life long Panthers fans grow up old enough to continue establishing a base.

The arena was packed with Celtics fans no different than the stadium has a ton of Cowboys fans even when the Panthers were a winning team. There are some franchises with cache that get by with that. 

As for our stadium experience, anyone who doesn't remember 2001 need only to go to a game anytime this season.

I went to the Spurs/Lakers game the other night in San Antonio, and the arena was legit 75% Lakers fans.  It was sad, but its not exclusive to Charlotte area sports teams.

Any small market team vs. a large market team will face these issues unless they are top of the league.

This is nothing new. This fan base has been horrible. Can’t take many serious. I’m a fan of the team and what it encompasses but these dookie bros and jimbo trailer park boys that are loudest on here are just wastes of semen. 

What does the Navy have to do with the Carolina Panthers? ….. I kid.

that Vikings poo was over the top and a clear indicator that something isn't right and has drastically changed.

My sister and her husband have been PSL owners since the beginning, and she swears this is getting worse. Never really heard her complain about it before.

1) Transient town.......lots of people with loyalty to their born and bred town home teams....They'll want tickets only when their team is in town. 

2) Demographic change.............more Hispanic born per capita than any other city in the US is right here. For them.......football using the feet to move the ball is what the prefer. 

3) Young people don't care.................sports are like cars, houses and families to them...........they are losing interest within generations growing up now..........its cell phones, social media and gaming that rules.

4) Aging PSL owners...........win or lose there is no waiting list to buy them.  

I've worked in marketing in professional sports and have been watching all this since the late 50s ...........so add it all up kids...................and connect the dots..........the apathy for a professional level home sports team is already baked into this town and getting worse. 

Winning solves everything?...........well is used to........ but I'm afraid some don't even care about that.

It started with disregarding the most important player in the history of Charlotte sports, then replacing him with Teddy Bridgewater, and THEN replacing HIM with Sam Darnold. It’s honestly been a shitshow.

Cheer up….Nick Foles or Blaine Gabbert are next…..

(I kid, I kid) 

you are right

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
