tickets are sold out (or mostly sold out) most every game thanks to the kind psl owners.

we aren't in any danger of blackouts. only reason they are used is for teams that aren't making enough money in a lame attempt to get people in the stands, ie tickets sold. "you don't come to my games, i won't let you watch the game on tv".

it's a crap ploy.

Panthers core fanbase is loyal to a fault. The city of Charlotte as a whole though is not behind the Panthers. I come in contact with more fans of other teams than I do Panther fans. Alot of non-fans are non-fans because of our front office and the atmosphere here that is content with losing. Its weird talking to people who've lived here their whole lives who root for Duke or UNC or some other local team, but absolutely refuse to root for the Panthers and see them as a joke.

Being a native of Charlotte ,I think this is just your opinion and not fact. To say that people from Charlotte absolutely refuse to root for the Panthers and see them as a joke is BULL poo. You are just making stuff up.The people I know from here may get down on the Panthers but they don't refuse to root for them or see them as a joke.

I'm a 3 hours drive from Charlotte, I consider the Panthers as my home team. There is not alot of fans in my area, or I don't come into contact with many. Mostly, because most of the people here have had the Skins and Cowboys slammed dunked into them for so many years. There is a Steelers flag facing my Panther flag across the street from me.

All in all I think the fan base is growing here more and more because they are a close drive for us. We need to have a great year again and I think we would see more fans arise in more areas.

When I am in Charlotte all the fans I tailgate with are local loyal fans with PSL seats. They are the real fans in my book who set through more games than myself and see us continue to lose game after game. My hat is off to everyone of you, God Bless you all.

For such a young team, I think the Panthers have a great fan base. Look at Jacksonville for a comparison. Some of the problems in Jacksonville are due to the economy, but the people there have never taken to the Jags like folks here took to the Panthers. Not a day goes by where I don't see at least one person wearing some kind of Panthers gear around here.

PSL holders typically = non blackouts

For all the bashing of the 'wine and cheese crowd' thank those PSL holders for ensuring at least a good chance of no blackouts.

I'm a PSL holder, and I support the team regardless, because of the money involved, and money is tight for everyone, except maybe pro athletes and coaches, I don't mind at all being vocal about stupidity, or about greatness.

Keeping Peppers, Delhomme, and giving away a #1 pick for Brown = stupid.

Deangelo Wiliams = greatnesses.

For the greatness, I continue to go.

Carolina Beach is not much of a sportstown. :)

Seriously, its hard to judge this area compared to areas that seem more loyal. The population is just so much more spread out here, that its really hard to judge if fans or more or less loyal. A place like Philly or New York has several times the number of people Charlotte does that live within a 30 minute drive or trainride to the stadium.

I live in Winston, and I generally attend 1-2 games a year. And for me to attend, its an allday evolution. I have to leave at 9 or 10 in the morning, and generally don't get home till 7 or 8 at night.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
