The fan base is melting into the ether

[Jmac]

As this sh%tshow rolls along, the fans are disppearing (whatever fan base existed.) The team always had problems with out of town fans buying tickets to support various teams (mostly Steelers and Washington fans.)

The corporations buy the boxes and the best PSL's to give to clients. The average Joe may have a PSL for his family and may be struggling to justify the expense. Between the 'vid and the hell of a broken economy of 2019, 2020 on into 2021, many more important things to spend the $$ on.

Curious how many PSL holders are re-considering giving them up next season. How many who buy a few game tickets a season will rethink the purchase. Just feels like the whole atmosphere is going down the sh%tter fast. A few of the wine and cheese crowd with disposable income will still go just to sit on their hands.

I’m still showing up on Sundays. I don’t care what the sky r falling crowd says on a forum.

Okay, continue.

I have not missed a game in years.  I'm watching it on TV or I find a way to get my hands on tickets one way or the other.  Pretty die hard, sat through some pretty bad seasons thinking well if we just get a stop here score real quick, get another stop then......you get the idea.  Sat through some really good seasons also.  Last Sunday I got up in the third quarter and went outside to do chores.  Pretty telling of how bad that was and the road I see us going down in the near future.  Ill be around but probably won't go above and beyond to make home games and devote an entire day to panther football.  Least till I see some changes.

No, just the weak and feeble minded.  This team is headed up

Also I dont think anyone is crying but its difficult to sit through crap like that when you have a billion other things going on.  They aint making it worth your while so to say.

This team is the football equivalent of Panera bread. Bland and cold and corporate and definitely not the most exciting place in the world to eat, but it’s located 2 blocks away from the sorority houses and will therefore get business regardless.
 

This team is lifeless and honestly just boring to watch. There is no excitement, no passion, no energy, nothing. I’ve been watching for 20 years and I don’t remember a time where I’ve cared less.

NGL, I thought it was only a very small fraction of the fanbase that didn't like or believe in the Rhule hire and regime, but clearly it was either his hire or Cam's dismissal, or both, but the mass exodus of present Panther fans on Sundays has resulted in BOA stadium becoming a home game for the opponent this year and it has been absolutely embarrassing.

We might have had a smattering of opposing fans over the years, that you could sometimes hear during games, but this season, they are the loudest faction of spectators there.  Against both the Eagles and Vikings the crowd booed when bad calls were made against the visiting team, cheered wildly when they scored, and against t the Vikings, the crowd even started a "Skol" chant.  It's worse than it's ever been.

The moment the Minnesota Vikings highjacked our stadium was pretty telling. 
 

I was in the middle of it…and it sucked.

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.
