Night and day between Panther and Canes home games

Winning does that.  It was pretty electric during the last super bowl run.  However there have been 4 straight miserable seasons for the panthers. 

I'll admit I've been to most of our games and its hard to be excited given the teams we have fielded.

No doubt, the canes are exciting right now.  I hope they have a good run in the playoffs.

I used to live in Raleigh and still went to canes games when we were going through our purge…. It was not electric, and they were giving out free beer vouchers at the time. 
 

it’s the just way of sports. Winning teams have fans in the stands, losing teams don’t.  It’s not a specific team problem. It’s just sports expectations.

I was at the car/seachickens playoff game and the 2015 nfc championship game and I will say the atmosphere was great.

I think the close confines of PNC arena make the difference. Little more up close and personal. Plus hockey is essentially non stop action. Tension builds until goals/big hits etc. Great time to be a Canes fan!! Let's go canes!

Hopefully soon we'll begin to have that "winning culture" Tepper talks about with the Panthers as well!

The hurricanes are a good team that compete for championships in a town that really has nothing else to do - The panthers are a terrible organization with no direction and no reason to be optimistic about the future and play in young city with ten thousand better things to do

Agreed on the Seattle game.  When Luke scored on the pick 6 after the offense had just scored was about as loud as I can remember a game being.  I know I was losing my mind.

I'm definitely a bandwagon hockey fan...I watch the playoffs when the canes play but don't watch the regular season.  Playoff hockey is intense and definitely fun to watch.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
