Stadium Atmosphere

agreed. you can be hostile to the opposition without swearing though.

Or racial slurs.

I know nothing about getting kicked out of there. Nothing at all.

yup

I know nothing about getting kicked out of there. Nothing at all.

what did you do?

Kris my friend this will fall on deaf ears.

1/2 the fans want to get loud and have a good time.

1/4 want to talk with their friends and not be bothered by football

the other 1/4 want the place to be a church environment.

(there are exceptions)

The other 1/2 will consistantly ruin it for real fans for next 5-10 years.

in 10 yrs my child will be running around showing people how they should act at a football game.

Honestly, I do think the atmosphere at BOA sucks. I just don't think going shirtless and standing the entire time is going to fix it.

Is it time for the Hurricanes arena comparison? Cause those fans know how to rock. Of course, they also tell everyone when to stand, when to get loud, sell cowbells for more noise, etc.

haven't been to a canes game, but it sounds like the panthers need to follow the lead.

standing goes along with noise making IMO. do it on O, not on D. not the whole time.

i wish i had never mentioned shirtless.

If you've never been a to canes playoff game, GO. Holy cow. Yes, the Panthers need to take lessons from the Canes. They do everything they can to get the crowd pumped. They encourage loudness and take pride in being the loudest (yes, that's debatable) hockey arena.

i plan to go in the future. not just a playoff one. hoping that an interview i had up there went well enough that i move close to it. if so i think i'll be going often.

1. I would hold it up in the air. Not in your face. More noise makes it more difficult for the opposing offense to operate. Making it harder for them to win. Panther's win = happy fan

2. Did you never have noise makers at a birthday or new years party? It's a kid like feeling that is full of joy and happiness.

It doesn't encourage the team unless you get crazy with some body paint. And I have no problem with you getting down to your sports bra if you are comfortable enough to do so. Wear your bathing suit for all I care! I've seen enough obesity in my life to be desensitized. Comfort is one of the things I was getting at with this. It gets hot in the sun. Just follow the law. I'm at the game to watch THE GAME. Not scout for a girl, and that should be how it is for everyone IMO. Also, I live within 30 minutes of the beach.

Seems you've experienced the heat. Last year i made the mistake of wearing black to the wk 1 game, and my seats were in the sun. Won't be doing that again.

Noise makers at birthday parties and air horns are quite different. Yes, I've experienced the heat. Done the same at training camp. Won't find me taking my shirt off or wearing a bathing suit there, either. Lots of places have dress codes that go beyond just allowing what's "the law." Stadiums should be no different.

do you do anything to show enthusiasm at a game? a golf clap maybe?
