Coming from a guy that likes to brag about being a short order cook before he made it he sure does love some elitist bullshit. Between this, field level suites and turf he's earned the fans ire

....hes got too many money dicks in the fire and cant decide which one to suck.... I know thats harsh.. but...

Yeah, I'm not paying $350 a person for that.

I'm gonna guess somebody in the marketing or gameday activities department thought this was a good idea. Probably should have been vetoed.

One of the weird things about sports marketing in general is that it's a super competitive field to get into, everybody wants to do it, but the competition is almost entirely about who you know and connections, not about any demonstrated smarts,creativity or ability in the field, so you often wind up with poo ideas like this peddled as genius, because everybody in the meeting is clueless and out of touch.

For $350 a person?

Do they think the average fan can afford that?

I can assure you there is enough people with money in this town that can buy a "limited amount" of $350 ticket add-ons. I don't think you understand what "limited" is. 

If you want to go see the players walk from their car to the stadium for free...go stand on the sidewalk where they come by.  See...that's not so hard.  If you drive a $150k Range Rover and want to have unlimited drinks, food, a tent and a seat, then you can pay the $350pp.  

Y'all act like he is building some secret tunnel from the Players lot to the stadium and the only way to see them now is with some secret society $350 add-on.  FFS.

Trust me. As someone reading your posts, I understand quite well what "limited" means.

I feel like the people that liked to watch the players are usually diehards and folks with kids. The people that get the most from it aren’t ritzy folks. 
 

I feel like the players respond the best to  kids anyway so this all seems kinda dumb.

I get that everyone gets to vote with their $.  It’s not like The Roaring Riot is a 501c either. 

But the great thing about the Roaring Riot is their commitment to build up this fan base. $hit like this and the Keep Pounding fiasco and Rock Hill proves how out of touch Tepper Sports is with building a real fan base.

Maybe it’s because Tepper himself is just another imported fan of “x” team who moved to the Carolinas and wants to play around at being a fan.  

Tepper should be kissing the ground that Roaring Riot members and Carolina Huddlers and Carolina Huddlers Alts walk on  or hire the right people to get that done.

Oh there is more to it than this, but I would never be mad at any media member for reporting their source from the team's spin on it. That's their job. 

Remember when they told us they were "experimenting with a new game day experience" when they removed Keep Pounding? Riiiight....that's exactly what they were doing 🙄

So is Sheena incorrect that this Coca Cola even has been around since 2018 in this same form but now they're allowing additional fan access if they want to purchase tickets?

Out of touch but not surprising. Even less surprising is the usual sycophants making excuses. PanthersBigD is Smithers IRL.

What a sick burn from the human equivalent of Kirk Van Houten!

The Panthers have always had something like this. If you want to stand at the fences with your kids and watch the players come in, you still can. If you'd rather watch from under a tent, with food and drinks, without having to jockey for a good spot with everyone else, that'll cost you three fiddy. One experience is for diehards with normal incomes and the other is for corporations or wealthy individuals to schmooze clients or impress their prospective mistresses. 

Props to Roaring Riot for seizing upon a great marketing opportunity. Seems to have worked.

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.

      What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
