Tis much easier to sit on a message board and complain about tailgates than have the balls to show up and try one out. Most people have trepidation about showing up somewhere and not knowing anyone there. You should expect an experience much like you deal with in real life.....if you're somewhat outgoing and can introduce yourself you'll meet people, but if you are introverted, quiet and shy you probably won't have the best time. And then you'll come on a message board and complain about your experience because people didn't go out of their way to meet you.....

for several years I just showed up an hour before the game and got out of my car and went to the game and had a great time, but then started tailgating and now come to games just to tailgate.

Dont worry I wont. I guess I had it confused with all the empty parking lots all around down town. Lets face it, downtown charlotte is pretty much a ghost town on game day except for all those people leaving the fancy resturants to walk to the stadium.

where the fug do you tailgate, kohls? gtfo

Yeah, ranked number one by the NFL but I would trade that ranking in anyday for some home playoff games/wins. Our stadium will need to be disinfected twice this year since we have the Cowboys in preseason and regular season. I'll make sure I take my video camera for those games because I think I'll have some good Youtube clips with all the fighting that will be going on..lol PantherBob must be a crowd favorite on these boards.

I'm not thinking the NFL actually does any "tailgate rankings" so I'm not going to belabor the "ranked number one by the NFL" statement. But I will say that Jay the Tailgate Guy, who has his own show on the Food Network did come through Charlotte last season and he spent some time at our scene on the west side of the stadium.

We have been in our original spot since 1995 and still have most of the core group of tailgaters we started with. Although that group has evolved over the years as kids grow up, folks change jobs and other move on, it's been like a second family for 15 years.

Tucked in a 10-parking spot corner in the Hartigan's parking lot on Cedar street next to the practice facility we meet every game day at 9:30 with Bloody Mary's and start the food...

This is from 2007 and I can't find the link from last year that ranked us #1 but the NFL does acutally have a category for this.http://www.thebachelorguy.com/top-10-best-tailgating-cities-and-the-other-22.html

I guess hitting the downtown restaurants might not be a bad idea either. Charlotte is set up different than Houston though. Y'all have a downtown stadium and we don't. People here do hit the downtown restaurants for the Astros and Rockets games because those stadiums are downtown. Well give me a cool restaurant to hit before a Panthers game.

I went to a Stros game when I was there last year. Went to this bar called The Bus next to the stadium. Good times.

PantherBob/Gman is a f*cking douche.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
