When things look gloomy in Charlotte, just say "hey, at least we aren't Tampa!"

Richardson used to buy the remaining tickets during the 1-15 season (2001) so no game would be blacked out

I believe it hurts the NFL all together when teams cant sell out..I hate the Bucs but not enough to wish financial ruin on them or any other rival.

When you trade away half of your team what do you expect. Hopfully they will draft some good players this year and it will bring people to the games. Its gonna suck ass if the Panthers game gets blacked out cause of stupid bucs fans. That will just give me one more reason to hate them. :thumbsup:

Hahaha, they might not sell out because the economy sucks and they're rebuilding, and nobody should be forced to pay for that.

Wait, does Tampa have PSL's? So they aren't being forced to pay for it?

It'd only be blacked out in the Tampa area, we would see it. It wouldn't be our fault.

This story actually has many folds, it's really interesting when you read it from all sides.

hate for football teams should never run so deep that just because they are a rival that you want to see their entire city fall....

back to my original point, they were a good rival and it's boring to play a horrible team that we will own...

anything else pointed out about this point is irrelevant and I just hope that our team can rise up against other teams without them failing miserably...

I do feel sorry for their fans. I felt sorry for them when Glazer made them fork over money to build him a stadium and I felt sorry for them when he made them give him a favorable lease in which he keeps around 95% of the stadium's profits while the city has to cover any upkeep costs, particularly now when the city could use some revenue created by the stadium I feel sorry for them.

However, I have not one ounce of sympathy for Glazer's financial situation.

Thankfully, we have a decent human being as an owner.

[Bobby]

You can buy them if you want to, no one else is going to.

Are we the Charlotte Panthers now?

For all intents and purposes... we are

[Bobby]

I'm from Charlotte but I wish we'd play a pre-season game in Raleigh or Clemson every year (never Columbia, at least not as long as the money would go to the Cock mafia).

It'd be nice for fans that can't make the trip due to work or whatever. Not like Charlotte would miss one pre-season game.
