Try to find shade.  That Charlotte sun is BEAMING!  Sat in the non-shaded side of the 100s against the Bengals one year.  My son was shirtless before the end of the 1st quarter.  I typically sit near the back of 231 in the shade, but I'd much rather be midfield somewhere.

Also, maybe not be a risk you want to take.. but I've had pretty good luck buying tix right before walking it.  Sat in club level pretty affordably in Luke's last game.

Best seat: my living room.

Only ever been to one game (2005 opener vs. the Saints) and it was a miserable experience. Heat, sunburn from hell, overpriced food/drinks, and almost got in a fight with some drunk guy over a misunderstanding about tipping one of the stadium vendors.

Nevermind that we lost the game and that the tiny stadium seats are a (literal) pain in the ass for larger folks like myself.

Ever since then the appeal of the in-person "gameday experience" has been lost on me. Probably doesn't help that I came home to the coast to a hurricane warning with 24 hours to prepare.

What a time 😖

Trying to find seats to take my grandson. Can anyone help? Is upper level row one good seats or are they nosebleeds? Hard to find a block of 3 tickets. 

It’s all about what you’re comfortable with.  Row 1 up top would be a fantastic spot for the grandkids.
 

Upper level

Pros: All-22 view, fun fans

Cons: Stairs can be a bit much, longer walks to concessions.

Lower lever

Pros: Better amenities, closer to the field, fewer stairs

Cons: $$$, end zone seats limit views, more business-casual than fan pit.

This might help you

one thing is certain you really don’t want to be on the sun side during sept to mid October. You will fry 

the shade is on the Panthers side of the field. I have tickets in 342 and I’m covered all season long but I’m up near the big windows protected by the overhang 

But not all seats on that side are covered.  Just take that situation indoors consideration 

good luck

I’m not really sure because of  how the stadium curves vs how the sun moves in the fall 

if it’s on the home team side, same side as my section, it might not be directly beating down on you.  If it is in the sun, wear a hat, lots of sun screen and plenty of water.  Of course it may be cloudy so it won’t  matter.

First few rows of the upper deck aren't nosebleeds at all. I actually prefer the upper deck, better view of the whole field and it has more of a working class feel which makes it rowdier up there lmao. I'd almost suggest two or three rows up though. Pending on how old your grandson is, I swear I feel like some of the first few rows might have some sort of gate or barrier that I could see it being difficult to see over if you're super short. Maybe I'm dreaming this my PSL's are on row 23 so idk.

      Refs are dildos, PP got no motion, and First Shot Freddie reared it's ugly head again. That said we are outplaying them, so far. Need to clean up the turnovers. But, if we stick to our game, we should beat this team.

      Would you draft a pass rusher or draft one?

      By Jmac · Posted

      The biggest need on defense is a finding a pass rush. Picking 19th makes it tough to get a blue chipper. Trey hendickson or Maxx Cosby would obviously provide fire power. Would you invest the $$$ to bring either one in or pull a trade, or is their a 2nd tier guy you would target? Hu If not, what later first round edge rusher would you target. Trading up to get the guy if possible? What u got

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      Here we go again with wasting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks on offensive lineman. 2 free agents. 1 high football IQ leader in the 2nd or 3rd round for the interior. Two Day 3 starters. Stop wasting draft capital or be left behind. [if they enter free agency or the draft] Braden Smith in free agency or draft Carter Smith, Brian Parker II (leader), or Isaiah World. Take the one that slips. I know some are going to go after Carter Smith's arm length, but I'd rather have him with his fierce grip and control of lighter speed rushers than a top 10 pick LT waist bender on skates. If Bryce stays and needs to rely on popping out of the pocket to win games, then you need a Carter Smith or Brian Parker who can redirect a pass rusher at the rusher's hips. The lack of control by Ekwonu and Moton on their pass rushers change of direction is what always frustrated Bryce stepping up in the pocket. They are leverage tackles for a pocket passer that ride the pass rusher out.  Carter and Parker can create passing lanes for a QB who wants to step up, pop pass, and escape. Draft Carter Smith and Brian Parker if they fall. Then trade Moton and place Brian Parker at LT and Carter Smith at RT. Could it be possible to flip Moton for picks that get you both of these tackles with 2 picks? I know fans would hate even entertaining this, but if you want Bryce to win, he needs to rely on his limited but highly effective skills. If you don't like these options, you may as well just stick with Yosh and Brady at LT. The pool and projections will shape up in the next 2 months, but I hope this front office stops making the classic mistakes of losing the draft capital battle that a dynasty must win. Save the 1st and 2nd round picks for core defensive players.
