And the OP’s family has paid tenfold what you are paying and they’ve made the conscientious decision that they aren’t going to do it anymore.

I pray that you aren’t suggesting that the OP’S family should have to pay more money to watch the poo show that is the Panthers because they have more money. If that’s the case, we’re approaching some looney tunes poo.

You killin me with this day one stuff.. you act like I/we haven’t suffered and pay too!! Grandpa should be making money if he’s been  a PSL owner since day one

A couple of bad seasons with this fan base and they're all selling PSLs and donning their 'second' team jerseys again. 

But in the real world what you describe does not happen. 

PSL’s are incredibly sticky and over 50% are owned by folks who have been there since inception.  

Stop with the #fakenews pal…

Hunch:  OP’s Dad is 74, retired, kids are gone…he’s selling because he’s aged out and the tix just don’t serve the purpose they once did — lifestyle changes drive 99% of PSL sales…

For me it’s less about leaving the Panthers as much as it is leaving football. I’ve been a fan 25+ years since I was a kid, the Panthers are the only team I’ve known. I used to go to training camp at Wofford and get player signatures on Krispy Kreme napkins. I used to obsess over everything football, to this day I could tell you the majority of info of every player (school, position, draft spot) of anyone drafted before the 6th round from 2005-2020. That being said my love of the game is dead. I haven’t watched a game since week 5 and can honestly say I’ve been the happiest I’ve been in years. I really hope it brings joy to you guys but it’s just not the same.

You look at the extreme examples - Detroit, Cleveland, Oakland etc. Bad teams with rabid fan bases.

To be fair, it's been 4 bad seasons consecutively and next year isn't likely to be any better.

I bought tickets to go to the Panthers - Patriots game when they went on sale in May. Wife is from Massachusetts and a big Pats fan. We were planning to fly up from Texas for the game. 

After I saw what kind of team the Panthers were fielding by that point in the season I said F*CK THAT and sold those tickets for a loss. So glad we didn’t go. 

If Central Texas gets an NFL franchise in my lifetime, I don’t think I’ll be around these parts anymore.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
