I cannot imagine there's a huge market for $10k trips to see the Carolina Panthers. I mean, BOA looks half empty most games with half of the fans in attendance wearing opposing colors.

The demographic this is targeting doesn't go to the games at BOA.  And if they do, they aren't sitting in seats where you would see them.

Demographics aside, why would you pay $10k to go to an away game if you're not even going to home games? That's doesn't make any sense.

If people have an expendable $150k to spend on something like this, then they likely have ways of being around former (or current) players anyways.  Plus they also then already have the means to make a trip to games like this while being on their own schedule/agenda as well.

Just can't see what the appeal of something like this is for those type of people.  Yea, us regular Joe Schmo fans would love a tripe like that, but we don't have the expendable income to do it.

Not all Panther fans live in Charlotte. 

Love my home city, but if my choices are spending money to come back, eat Bojangles and experience a lackluster fan environment, or go to away games in New York, New Orleans, Green Bay (Lambeau), or Europe every couple of years where I can have a unique experience(s) which would you choose?

Where did you get that number from?  I think it is one game, 10k?

A big part of the package is the chaffeured ride to a private jet flight. They're definitely targeting folks who live in Charlotte.

Haha.  I didn't realize Charlotte had cornered the market on limos and G6's.  My apologies.

    • Why do we always let our good players go ?   CMC was injured and we let him go . Now we face him Monday night .  We know what Chuba can do . We know what Rico can do .  We signed Chuba so why not sign Rico .   we don't know what we have in Brooks ,  Let him and Eteine go at it in camp . Keep the better player .  Don't let your proven players leave .
    • Oh, I get it. I called him Peewee for the first couple of years. He is too small to be an NFL QB. It wasn't as much of a problem in college, even in the SEC, because every player in the NFL is the size and speed of the biggest 22 on your entire college team.  I was left scratching my head over the pick and what we traded to get him (and yes, that cost analysis is unavoidable). Now we're sunk into the third season and the kid just popped a frikkin' amazing game out there where he showed every mark of what you need in a top end QB. Great passing, mobility, guts, toughness (that ankle must have been killing him) and the ability to put a team on his back to claw back a win. He didn't win it with his arm so much as by getting the ball to the right people at the right time, but that is what the best do. Do I believe he's going to be our QB of the future here? I'm still out on that. Way out on that. But I'm at least intrigued. Can he replicate what he did or even get close? Can he perform well against the power opponents we have left on the schedule? Heck, can he even beat New Orleans this season?  Right now, my personal feeling is that he'd make a heck of a back-up QB. He could prove me wrong and excel, though. Maddening as it is, that'd be the best outcome ever. Or he could have just hit his peak. And that would be bittersweet because then we start the whole thing over again. I don't see a reclaimation project QB out there right now that Canales can work his magic on.
