Official Jan. 10th Panthers/Cardinals Tailgate Thread


mush

Recommended Posts

Playoff tailgating in Charlotte begins at 8am on Jan. 10!!!!!! Our food and non-alcoholic drink is provided FREE of charge with Toys for Tots donation buckets present. 100% of donations go directly to purchase bikes for next year’s toy drive at the stadium. Our free tailgate food is provided by Ranucci’s Big Butt BBQ (www.ranuccis.com) and the all day feast is extensive. Starting with Bojangles biscuits in the AM, then around noon we will have some chicken breasts and chicken wings. The dinner fare starts around 5:30 pm and will consist of prime rib, seafood, baked potatos, fried potato wedges, salad, rolls, beans, and other side dishes and desserts. There will be plenty of waters and assorted sodas to drink for free as well.

This week’s tailgate is sponsored by posters Charlottenian, Towelboy, Madhatter, tattoorhino, and Murph. Without these people we would not be fortunate enough to have this incredible tailgate. Our sponsors have been GREAT this season and be sure to thank them for their generosity this week. Hope to see you all there!

Here’s the usual info:

Tailgating FAQ’s

1. Where do you guys tailgate? A group of 100+ people on the Huddle congregate at a lot that borders Church St., Poplar St., and 3rd St. downtown. Our group is at the corner of 3rd and Poplar RIGHT BESIDE THE LOWER LOT GATE. If you come to the lower entrance gate on the sidewalk you cannot miss us. We are always in the spot BESIDE that gate. We have a big 3X9 banner attached to our tent facing 3rd street that says carolinahuddle.com with big Panthers eyes.

2. How much does it cost? If you park in that lot, it costs $30 and it’s only 3 blocks from the stadium. But you don’t have to park in the lot to tailgate with us. You can easily drive back a few blocks from there and park for $5 or $10 and just walk up. Another popular option is to take the train into town for a few bucks.

3. What’s at this tailgating spot? Food and people, how many depends on how many show up. We have 4 tents for cover if it rains and for shade. All the condiments, plates, napkins, and plastic silverware will be there as well.

4. What do I need to bring? If you drink alcohol you need to bring your own as well as a donation to Toys for Tots. We never provide alcohol due to liability issues. If you do not like what we're serving then you need to bring your own food. We will give you grill space if you need it. Everything else is free (food and non-alcoholic drinks). If you bring a cooler make sure it has ice in it because ice is always in tight supply on gameday. We’ll be glad to store your cooler in our cars during the game but we’re not responsible for it if it gets stolen or if a beer comes up missing during handling.

5. What time do you start? This week we will start at 8 AM.

6. Is anyone welcome? Absolutely! Everyone is welcome even opposing fans.

7. Is it appropriate for kids to come to this? Kids are always welcome but parents should use their own judgment in bringing them. We are not responsible for what they may see or hear and we do not police adult behavior before football games.

2011 - Planning in advance is always a good thing...

Prime rib is a great idea and will absolutely work. Not sure if the GTG family will be there - we've got a birthday party, then a volleyball game, then need to get Go To Daughter to wherever she's going to spend the night. Go to Son will be using her ticket - he'll wait until the next day go back to school. Just don't know what time all that will take - if we can make it work, we'll be there. If not, you all have fun.

    • I’ve seen mock drafts have us picking the OSU DT Kayden McDonald. If he is BPA I’m for it. I still remember the days we had Short and Star anchoring our DLine on the best Panther defense. https://catcrave.com/panthers-forecasted-baffle-fans-with-first-round-decision-2026-nfl-draft
    • Not the best year to need a HC. I haven't heard much about the Texans DC getting any looks 
    • I have not seen a good fit yet as a HC hire. Honestly, Saleh is probably the best one and that’s not saying much. Miami- Hired a DC with an average defense. Check the rest of his resume. It also doesn’t solve your main problem at QB with Tua/Ewers, etc. Clear downgrade from Mike McDaniel. The owner obviously thought he had a shot at Harbaugh and fired McDaniel to throw his hat in, Waller has an interview that gives the impression of this. Atlanta- Stefanski has won like 6 games in 2 years. Carried a few years ago by his defense. Defense has gotten older and he got exposed. Brought into Atlanta with a DC he didn’t hire. No idea what they are going to do at QB, no 1st round pick, a lot of resigning. Oh and their Dan Morgan/John Lynch/ John Elway guy is Matt Ryan who has not worked in the front office at all. At least Dan was a scout, director, asst GM, etc. New York-Not bad really but he’s only going to be as good as his OC. Joe Schoen is still the guy getting your talent, and good luck playing Dak Prescott, The Eagles D, and Jayden Daniels 6 times per year with the NY media writing about everything you’ve done wrong. Tennessee- meh. Probably should have gotten an OC to develop Ward but Saleh can at least make this team aggressive and physical again. I doubt many wanted the job. If Saleh fixes the culture and gets a decent play caller he will be okay. The GM there seems promising. If I had to rank the rest of the openings I’d say: 1-Pittsburgh: Enough talent to be competitive. Have some things to fix at key positions but long history of success and winning is in that building. Plus, you get Baltimore and Cleveland twice per year (I’ll get to that). 2-Baltimore: What in the ever living hell makes you think it’s time to walk away from Harbaugh. He didn’t leave like Tomlin, you fired him then the owner joked about it at the press conference. Who did you ever think you were going to get better than him. Somebody to support Lamar? Like drive him to the practices he never attends? 3-Buffalo I mean you get Josh Allen but they promoted Beane to be their Morgan and if you watched the Press Conference today the owner made Tepper look like Arthur Blank. Basically said he fired McDermott just over losing to the Broncos. Beane got up there and poo on a few players. The two leading candidates are Joe Brady, your current OC and Brian Daboll, your former OC who just got done running a circus on the other side of the state. Like the Ravens, who did you think you would get that was better? 4-Las Vegas Spytek seems competent as a GM and Brady is in the building but there is a real stink culture built into that organization that somebody is going to eventually have to fix. It seems like everyone that gets close (Gruden, Carroll, Pierce) gets fired. At least you have a shot with a potential Franchise QB in Mendoza. 5-Arizona Gannon just collapsed. Don’t know what happened, but it seems like Kyler is gone with no real plan in place. Maybe resign Brissett? Maybe take another down year and just rebuild the roster? Who really knows. I don’t see them having any shot landing a big fish, I honestly forget they don’t have a HC half the time. 6-Cleveland There’s a reason McCarthy and McDaniel turned them down. Still have Watson on the books. Have to deal with the Shaduer fans and haters. Aging defense. Don’t imagine Schwartz will stay on as DC if he is turned down, so there that goes. Honestly, I think Schwartz by the only guy that wants the job.
