Panthers have one of NFL's most 'obsessive' fanbases

Also…

Average ticket price for a Canes game is $60 with a seating capacity of 18k

Average ticket price for a Panthers game is $239 with a seating capacity of 70k

So using turnout at a Canes game as evidence of more dedicated fans is absurd.

 

There’s 41 home games a year. There’s 8/9 in the NFL. Bad take.

Using Canes attendance to suggest Panthers attendance would be better in Raleigh is an absurd take. 

I do agree there. But the comparative of Canes ticket prices to Panthers tickets is absurd. The Raleigh area would support the Panthers well, but the Panthers are better suited for Charlotte.

We have one of the weaker fanbases for sure. We had the #1 pick in the draft and I only saw 9 Panther fans in the crowd.

 

BOA is 60/40 on a good day. Charlotte is flooded with fans of other teams.

 

I keep saying this, but the crowd support would be much higher if the team was moved to Raleigh. Just something about Charlotte the crowd is just not loud enough. The Hornets games are the same way smh.

Tired of this schtick, if you guys in Raleigh care that fuging much just drive to Charlotte, foh. 

The Hornet and Panthers are for the whole state, the panthers are for 2 states, not just Charlotte. Thats just where the stadium is. If the stadium was in Raleigh it would still be overrun with steelers/cowboys/etc fans over Panthers fans. 

It is a 2 hr 30m drive from Raleigh to Charlotte, hardly a deal breaker....

Location definitely plays a huge part imo. Raleigh is located right in the heart of NC. Charlotte on the other hand is damn near in South Carolina. It makes more sense from a travel standpoint just to move all the pro teams to the heart of NC imo.

I get it man, ride for your city, but a lot of your argument is just inaccurate.

PNC is loud and I'd go to every single Canes game if I could swing it.  But there's a big difference in filling a 20k seat indoor arena vs a 75k seat outdoor stadium.  ESPECIALLY when the product on the field is almost always bad.

Also, as much as I loathe the entire state of SC, the Panthers still claim them.  Moving to Raleigh would basically alienate a large portion of the fan base.

Raleigh is cool, but it would make very minimal difference in attendance if the team was moved there.

CLT isn't the problem. Reference the original and "real" Hornets who led the NBA in attendance for quite a while. 

NC and CLT can get behind a team and they have the Panthers for significant stretches. The problem is that most fans are pretty sick of the product on the field. Additionally the NFL has made going to games wildly expensive for the average fan and prioritized the TV product versus the live product. I get the reasons why, they are certainly financially sound. It just also comes at a cost when you stink as a team.

 

If we were in the midst of 6 straight 10+ win seasons and a consistent title contender, this wouldn't be a discussion at all.

Canes can't even get people in Raleigh to show up unless they're winning. 

Between 2015-2018 avg. attendance was only 67% of capacity. 

And yet the Canes still have a Cup. Panthers have won nothing unfortunately. I don’t know why this is turning into a Canes vs Panthers thing but the Hurricanes are the better organization. Full stop.

Championships have nothing to do with attendance or passion of the fans. If it did, the Bills would have multiple Lombardi trophies.

It's not a Canes vs. Panthers thing, I only mentioned Canes because they were brought up as evidence of Raleigh having more passionate fans. I personally have nothing against the Canes or Raleigh, but the idea that it's better market for the NFL than Charlotte is laughable.

Yall butthurt because I said Raleigh has more rowdy fans than Charlotte is kind of hilarious. Maybe step your poo and be louder this year k. 

Notice you didn't answer my question about how many games you showed up for in the last 5 years

    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.    
    • "everybody has to earn it, heading in the right direction, feel great about him, get it done at the right time"     Mother fuger
