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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
