What kind of activities have you or would you be looking for when you come to Spartanburg for training camp, besides camp activities? Music, outdoor activities, family-friendly activities, restaurants?

I'm doing some research for some materials I'm putting together.

(Please, try to keep smartass "Spartanburg sucks" comments to a minimum. Thanks.)

Honestly when I go I come for two things:

1. To see the Panthers

2. To get diabetes and high blood pressure from the Beacon drive in.

I know last year they had movie nights for the little kids and stuff but I don't know what movies they played.

They showed "The Blind Side" and "Radio." I expect they will do movie nights again.

I'm actually talking about activities outside of what they will be doing at camp.

Of course, the Beacon will be included!

the highlight of his year's camp will be when the players show up for it.

After that, and if it is like any other time I have visited the crowd is more entertainment than the practice. If you can somehow make a family-friendly game out of watching grown men make fools out of themselves trying to get something signed or a handshake then you and fam will be plenty entertained. It's ridiculous.

With Cam it might even be the most embarrassing scene yet.

There are members of this forum however that brave the madness almost daily and provide very useful breakdowns from camp. I mention that so you won't forget to log in and read between sessions as it is almost impossible to stay focused for the eavesdropping of some of the most ridiculous conversations, comments, and actions of some of our fans.

God bless 'em.

I get frustrated enough listening to some of the most asinine comments posted on this forum.. and based on some of the dumb poo I hear from people away from this board, it blows this forum away with ignorance..

I couldn't imagine hearing a collection of fools in one central location..

Gerhards cafe is probably my favorite restaurants in the upstate. The website doesnt off much about it, so Ill try and describe it. Its an Austrian place, so all around it has an austrian european kinda atmosphere. Theres several different sections there. When you first walk in, there is bar section that is pretty laid back. Behind the bar is the "jean section" part of the restaurant. There is a more formal dress up side thats blocked off from the rest of the place, that has the white linen tables, chandaliers and such. Then theres what I call a barn section, that has another bar and a place where they sell brick oven pizzas. Its a little more lively out there. Finally, theres an out door patio section thats nice.

They got a pretty good selection of beer, and the food is great. Anytime Im in spartanburg, I definately try to make time for this place.

I went last year and most of the stuff happened at the far end practice field. Why is that? It would be nice if most of the action occured on the two fields closer to the side with the big hill. Yes, I know the practices are not for the sole purpose of fan entertainment.

it moves around. next day it will be some other field. really know way to know ahead of time which field it will be on (unless they are doing it at the stadium).

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
