This Sunday the Panthers take on the Broncos at 4 pm. Tailgating will start much earlier. Our food and non-alcoholic drink is provided FREE of charge with Toys for Tots donation buckets present. 100% of donations go directly to purchase bikes for this week’s drive at the stadium. Our free tailgate food is prepared by Ranucci’s Big Butt BBQ (www.ranuccis.com) and the menu will be posted later in the week so check back for details. There will also be a limited Bojangles biscuit breakfast while it lasts for the early risers with biscuits, fresh made sausage, country ham, eggs, and cheese. There will be plenty of waters and assorted sodas to drink for free as well.

This week’s tailgate is sponsored by Shinner and pstall. Please be sure to thank them this week for their generosity because they make your gameday easier without having to plan/buy/cook/wash/cleanup/load your car/burn your food/etc. All you have to do is show up and enjoy good food.

Sadly this week concludes our regular season tailgating and hopefully there will be at least one playoff tailgate but as of now there are no guarantees. The presentation of the bikes to the Marine Corps will take place at 12:45 at the north gate. Thanks so much to all of you who have donated. We have raised over $5000 so far and have exceeded last year’s cash total.

Here’s the usual info:

Tailgating FAQ’s

1. Where do you guys tailgate? A group of 100+ people on the Huddle congregate at a lot that borders Church St., Poplar St., and 3rd St. downtown. Our group is at the corner of 3rd and Poplar RIGHT BESIDE THE LOWER LOT GATE. If you come to the lower entrance gate on the sidewalk you cannot miss us. We are always in the spot BESIDE that gate. We have a big 3X9 banner attached to our tent facing 3rd street that says carolinahuddle.com with big Panthers eyes.

2. How much does it cost? If you park in that lot, it costs $30 and it’s only 3 blocks from the stadium. But you don’t have to park in the lot to tailgate with us. You can easily drive back a few blocks from there and park for $5 or $10 and just walk up. Another popular option is to take the train into town for a few bucks.

3. What’s at this tailgating spot? Food and people, how many depends on how many show up. We have 4 tents for cover if it rains and for shade. All the condiments, plates, napkins, and plastic silverware will be there as well.

4. What do I need to bring? If you drink alcohol you need to bring your own as well as a donation to Toys for Tots. We never provide alcohol due to liability issues. Everything else is free (food and non-alcoholic drinks). If you bring a cooler make sure it has ice in it because ice is always in tight supply on gameday. We’ll be glad to store your cooler in our cars during the game but we’re not responsible for it if it gets stolen or if a beer comes up missing during handling.

5. You expect me to believe that you post free food and drinks on a message board and you’ll feed and quench the thirst of everyone that shows up? Yep, no problem, we've been doing this for almost 5 years now. Thousands of meals have been provided free and we welcome all. Some of us just love doing this kind of stuff and have fun doing it. Hopefully everyone that comes has a good time. Remember that this is for charity and that our sponsors have donated their money so that the beneficiaries (you) will donate money to our cause (Toys for Tots) and help needy families this upcoming holiday season.

6. What time do you start? This week we will start at 8 AM.

7. Is anyone welcome? Absolutely! Everyone is welcome even opposing fans.

8. Is it appropriate for kids to come to this? Kids are always welcome but parents should use their own judgment in bringing them. We are not responsible for what they may see or hear and we do not police adult behavior before football games.

I came down for the Tamp Bay beat down, and the tailgate was AWESOME as usual. Zod's cider was like a warm taste of christmas. The Whole pig was ridiculously good. Ranucci is the man. I'm gonna try to come down for this game as well. If I can't make it you guys have a blast. This is the most fun tailgate ever. The Huddle rocks.

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
