1. Lambeau Field (Packers)

2. Heinz Field (Steelers)

3. Qwest Field (Seahawks)

4. Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs)

5. Soldier Field (Bears)

6. Superdome (Saints)

7. Gillette Stadium (Patriots)

8. Metrodome (Vikings)

9. Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles)

10. Oakland Coliseum (Raiders)

What do you guys think, if we were a consistent power would we crack the list? I have been in very loud Bank of America Stadiums during playoff/night games especially and when we are good we normally fill it every game. I think we could get better than the Raiders.

for a couple years we were pretty good at home.

BoA isn't really known for having all that tough of an atmosphere to opposing teams. fans are far too nice, which is probably a good thing considering how many seats are filled by fans of other teams.

packers, steelers and bears were also on a worst surfaces list. so it isn't just about the noise when a team goes visits those stadiums.
True, true. I'm guessing noise has the biggest impact by a wide margin though. I think we're easily top 15 when we're a good team.

opposing teams literally laughed at BoA stadium last year. i think it was the vikings game where multiple players said there was more purple in the stands than anything else. carolina will never come close to cracking a top ten list of most difficult places to play in the NFL. even if we win consecutive super bowls with cam, i think we'll always have a wine and cheese reputation.

Bills should be on that list.

thats just because you don't know what country you are going to be in. drive up to the stadium and you find out that they are playing in canada that day. it can be pretty confusing.

it was the ravens and it was an extra home game for them.

really embarrassing.

of all the horrible games last year, that had to be the one that effected richardson the most and why i don't think they are going to be messing around when it comes to bringing in talent this year.

but hell when you get an all inclusive bus ride, hotel room downtown and a ticket all for like 200 a person can you blame them for filling our stadium? I dont think they would have had half the turn out if Charlotte wasn't licking their assholes to get them down here...

To this day, 2005 against the Patriots is one of the loudest regular season NFL games I have ever been to. I've been to like 20 games in Miami, a few in Jacksonville, and Soldier Field, so my sample size is small, but BofA was loud as sh*t that day.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
