Panthers tailgating

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

Wait a minute....you're saying that there are actual panther fans who tailgate before the games? I dont beleive you. Stop lying!

Here is a snapshot of the parking lot I took where we tailgate.

As you can see, lots of Panther fans like to tailgate contrary to what one on here believes.

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

POSER BOY!!!!! Where you been cool guy?

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.

At least I dont miss panther games to go to chucky cheese. Now who's the douche?
