I hope what happened today puts to rest the questioning of our fan commitment...

The so called "hard core" fans of Minny and AZ have yet to sell out their home playoff games.... Neither of these teams have been to the playoffs in a while and yet the places still have plenty of tix.... Economy or not, the panthers remaining tickets sold out in MINUTES to people from NC/SC.... Give yourself a hand and the next time people question the fan base then this could serve as a nice reminder

Maybe Charlotte has more bandwagon jumpers?

when your team has not hosted a playoff game in ages and you have a new stadium and can't sell out.... then it is pathetic.... same goes to Minny

really?

really?

your going to fault people for not paying double ticket price to go watch their team get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs? there is about a 10% chance that any of the home teams this week, save for Miami, will actually win.

:D sucks to be Cards and Vikings fans

Lol..

double? I doubt that.... AZ's last home playoff game was in 1998, if you can't sell that out and your last home playoff game was 11 years then that is pathetic

Miami? You are kidding, right? Miami will get slaughtered this week-end. Their schedule was pathetic this season.

Be that as it may, does it matter as long as BOA stadium is packed with black and blue come the 10th?

Yeah, I want to see a full house for the playoff game(s)....but when you know that BoA was 99.9% full for the season (according to attendance records), selling out a playoff game really isn't a huge achievement.

Minny was below us in attendance percentage but Arizona was above us (and over 100% full) so it's really odd that they can't sell out.....Minnesota on the other hand, they should sell out but it's not too shocking if they don't. Their diehards will be there no doubt, they're just not getting the casual or bandwagon fan. Don't know if I can blame them, I don't think I'd pay a heap of money to go watch them get beat. They're a pretty boring team to watch.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
