“Supporters Section” for Panthers

[NAS]

First of all, this isn’t meant to be a Football vs Soccer debate and which sport is better.  However I do think the Charlotte FC supporter section was terrific decision by Tepper and has made for a compelling party like atmosphere at Charlotte FC games even with only half the attendance of Panthers games.  It’s made up of organized fan groups or just individuals who are willing and able to stand for the entire game, cheer and support the team.

I think it would be amazing if we had the same at Panthers games, what would it take to implement and how would it be received?

yes, but look the upper levels. wouldn't look like this if every seat was available for purchase like Panther games

If you mf’ers knock over my Pinot Noir and fromage I swear to God!

I definitely heard Tepper mention it once but I assume it’ll probably have to wait until we have a new stadium.

Hasn't Roaring Riot been doing this for several years?

Support sections for soccer are not unique. Atlanta has a solid one as well.   I think it adds a lot to the soccer game experience.  

Biggest difference would be that NFL rules state no outside noisemakers are allowed, vs Soccer's use of drums and horns by fans during game action.

Supporters sections are extremely common in all futbol/soccer leagues. This isnt new.  Odd take by Rimmer bc of the limitations and rulesets for fan participation in games.

Yeah the offense actually wants the home crowd to shut the fug up when they're calling a play so it's a bit different dynamic

I mean, you have a student section at college games. I think the NFL could easily work with teams to figure out how to place a section into each team's stadium, where the rowdiest of the rowdy could gather.

but you'd have to cut the cost of the tickets... which we all know the NFL won't allow that.

extremely different concept to what Rimmer is talking about.
