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.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
