College football student sections, crazy hockey towns, MLS supporter sections, Red Sox and Yankees fans ... it's just a different breed. Put the knuckleheads from the 500 section down in the 100-300s at BOA and it'd look and sound different on TV I'd imagine. BOA is just too large with too many casuals to always be rocking (outside of a Playoff game). It is what it is. No harm no foul.

The day BOA lets fans wave massive flags or banners in their seats, shoot smoke bombs, chant players names, sing, beat drums, slam plexiglass (er ... chairs?), curse, etc. is a day I'd like to see.

You are right.  Each team and sport are very different. Hockey is fun and loud with lots of back and forth with less strategy and more teamwork and grinding. Lots of banging and fighting on and off the ice. Crowds are loud and rowdy. 

Soccer crowds are actually pretty fun and everyone sings chants and makes noise while we wait for something to happen. Our section 127 in BOA isn't in the supporter section but we all stand the whole game.  Imagine that at a Panther game.

Football is highly controlled to avoid fights and pander to the family crowd. We stand in the upper deck on third down and when things are close. I stand a lot anyway. But it has been a while since we had some raucous crowds like against New England in 2004 and Tampa in 2008. The playoff run in 2015.  I would be up for more noise and big old flags and a crowd happy to be there win or lose.

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 

Raleigh…,has nothing else to do….come on man ..

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      Bears at Panthers week 1

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
