First Home Game This Weekend!!!!

Recommended Posts

Been a fan since the beginning and a die-hard since year two and I'm finally going to be going to my first home game this weekend, can't wait. I'll be flying in Saturday afternoon and staying downtown without a rental car, so I'll just be walking around.

Looking for some suggestions of a place to go Saturday night. I want to find a place with a good selection of beer and a burger and will be able to put the Arizona-Cal game on for me. If it's also a place that will have the UFC fight showing it would be even better.

Also since I have a late flight Sunday I'm looking for a good place to go after the game to watch the late games. Looking for some local suggestions as I know places like BWW would have that, but I've never been to Charlotte and would like to see what you got.

A co-worker of mine has an uncle in Charlotte who suggested I check out Picasso's Dilworth.

As for game day, please tell me what to do. I want to get into the stadium early enough to get some good pictures during warmups and just check the place out, I was thinking somewhere around 11:30-12 for that. But up until then, where do I need to go? Any good tailgates that will welcome in a random Panther fan?

Thanks and if you see someone in an authentic black Biakabutuka jersey, I'm guessing it's me since I kinda doubt anyone else will be wearing that.

Picasso's- awesome. and I love their wings. Personally love the teriyaki ones myself. Yes, they will probably put on the games for you, I have no idea about them putting on the UFC fight, Im sure they would if you asked.

They also have really good pizza and pepperoni rolls. mmmmmmm

You should probably go to the Epicenter or hop on the light rail and go to Vinnies or Mac's. We tailgate right behind the Doghouse off Morehead and we welcome any Panther fans. My wife's half brother and his family all came down from Norfolk VA for their first Panther's game ever last week, and a good time was had by all.:D

Oh... and you're right. No one else will be wearing a Failakabutuka jersery. You might want to bring some cash to buy another one when get to the stadium. You'll hear some snickering if you don't.

Have a Smith jersey and planning on getting a Stewart while down there, but still going to wear the Biakabutuka. He is the reason I'm a panthers fan and for my first home game I wouldn't have it any other way. I think most Panthers fans can agree that he would have been really good if not for all the injuries.

What time does all the tailgating normally start up?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
