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

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
