Have you been to a Charlotte FC game? It’s a party, the opposite of the Panthers games even at half the capacity.  Whoever is running the show for Charlotte FC should be handling Panthers games

The supporter sections for any pro soccer/futbol match blows away any other sport in terms of fan noise and pride. I'd expect nothing less from Charlotte's supporter sections.

Other than a lack of flags, banners, noisemakers... there's nothing stopping a dedicated collection of Panthers fans from doing this in BOA.

It starts with what they put on the field. Fix that and the rest will follow.

You're talking about grass?     THIS, 100%

Charlotte sucks.

I was just thinking that's exactly why everyone and their brother has been moving here in droves for the past quarter century. People can't resist the temptation to live in shitty places with nothing to offer.

Yep ... but unless we're in the Playoffs or go 15-1 you won't see it. So I go back to my original point ...

I lived in CLT for 18 years. I stand by my statement. People are also moving in droves to Texas btw.

Back in the day when the atmosphere was ok fans didn't expect so many frills. They came to watch a game. That seems to have changed and the expectation is for a bunch of frills and distractions. Great for revenue but not so good for the atmosphere.

Was talking about a winning team would do wonders for attendance.

But I also firmly believe football was meant to be played on natural grass.

Everyone loves a winner and the team hasn't been a winner for a good long while now.

The whole gosh dangit small market Mayberry thing isn't accurate anymore. It may have been back when there wasn't a team logo on the field, back when old man Richardson had his row of white rocking chairs out there on Sunday morning, and fans could enjoy some relaxing times and sweet tea before the game, which was an actual thing, but that is in the past.

5 win seasons after 5 win seasons after 5 win seasons, and so on, makes a lot of people stay home.

Two things can be true at once. People are moving in droves to Texas, but not from NC, mostly from Cali and other points west. Charlotte is still growing rapidly, as evidenced by the breakneck pace of continued development. Your subjective opinion is you don't care for it, that's fine, move somewhere you do like, which sounds like you did. The evidence does not support the notion most people agree with you about Charlotte however.

Not just supporter section. The whole stadium has a great vibe

You been playing too much TOTK

Freaking FANTASTIC game.  Im 42, and don't really game much at all anymore, but I have been playing the poo out of TOTK whenever I can.  I just got all 5 sages and am now on the hunt for the Master Sword.  Then its off to defeat that dastardly Gannondorf once and for all (or at least until the next Zelda game)!

Having grown up and lived in Charlotte for 30 something years, and now living in Texas, I can say for 100% surety that Charlotte is WAYYYYYYYYY better.  Texas sucks.
