PSL/Season Ticket holder friendships

I am wrapping up my second season of being a PSL owner at BofA. One of the bright sides of the last few years are the people in my section. When I go to a game now, the people in about a 10 seat radius know me and I know them by name. It is pretty damned cool. It also allows me to be fairly obnoxious without getting the stadium security called. These friendships have formed after two short seasons. I'm curious if some of you that have held season tickets for longer have any good stories or friendships that have grown over the years between you and people in your section?

Merry Christmas and as always, I hope Saint fans choke on my sh*t.

Nope.

My pops has season tickets in the lower bowl... I go to a lot of games with him. The people around us, save a few, fuging suck. They bitch when you stand and cheer... to the point of trying to have me tossed 3 times at the Cowboys Xmas eve game a few years back. Every time the security said I was behaving like a normal fan should (not intoxicated, not cussing, in my proper seat, etc). Plus one of the ladies behind us sounds like she's smoked a million cigs and yells "GET EM GET EM GET EM!" on every defensive play.

I'd like to give em all a heaping pile of poo for the holidays.

I've gotten to the point where I know about 20-25 people that sit around me pretty well. When I first got my seats about 7 years ago, the section was a little more quiet but now after every big play we're all high fiving, standing up, slamming our seats while on defense, etc. Some people who would normally sell their tickets to the highest opposing fan bid now will try to call me or other sitting around us first to see if we can find other Panthers fans to sell them to before doing that. I can think of maybe two or three times that I've seen people complain in our section about standing and those were people who were not regulars. And this is in the lower bowl.

We also have a good group of people in our tailgate lot who we've gotten to know that sit in different sections all over the stadium.

I know a good amount of people, just the ones I have met getting different tickets.

If I get the club seats, there is a nice couple that sits behind us that I like a lot

If I get 541, the old guy next to us is freakin hilarious and will talk poo with me the whole game.

If I get my Godmother's 225's, there's a guy I met and am now friends with on FB who is super sweet and sits in front of us with his parents (he might even be a huddler, I wouldn't be surprised)

We'll be in the clubs for Christmas Eve

I think I've sat very close to 225 is that to the lower left of where JR sits?

We know the ones around us - even the ones who live in Raleigh and only come once or twice a year - they give away their tickets for the rest of the games. I've seen kids grow up, kids get married, and in the case of mine, people have seen my son go from around age 6 to age 21 and they remember when I was pregnant with my 11 year old. That's the kind of stuff that's neat for me. There have been times when I've gotten a call from a neighbor letting me know they had extra tickets and asking if I knew anybody or they've asked me if I'm going to miss a game because they need extras or whatever. I know who is never going to miss a game and who always leaves early - winning or losing, it's just their thing. I've seen one guy come to a game with his wife for years.....and then the next year he comes with his girlfriend and they behave like teenagers in love (they're probably in their 50's and he weighs at least 350 pounds - maybe more). Then the next season they're married. I like that it's like that. It's like a little panthers family. You also get to know the staff too - the ones who are always in the same spots. Some of them are amusing so you get a nice show.

We have some people that have been there forever, and some that sell their tickets to opposing team fans at stupid prices every freaking game.

I am up and cheering the whole time and have never been told to sit or calm down, and the security guy likes me enough to not have thrown me out when I wanted to start fighting some asshole Steelers fans this summer when I was kind of drunk.

You are lucky enough to have PSL holders all around you. With exception to behind me and few seats on the flanks, the seats around me are sold to the general public. One week I have grandma in front of me, the next, a family with two children under the age of five. It's rare I get a solid group where I can cut lose and actually get loud while saying the word poo without getting the "I'll call security on you" glare.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I appreciate the measured tone, truly. Hopefully we're at a point where we can dive a little deeper into the discussion. The observation about his footwork is fair in theory, but I'd also counter with 6'1" Brock Purdy recently admitting that he can't see his target on 40% of his throws due to the linemen in front of him. He just inked a massive deal, and while a lot of fans are understandably wondering what he's going to do with reduced weapons, "not seeing over the line" just doesn't seem to be that big of a disqualifier with his understanding of timing, leverage, and pre-snap reads (Aaron Rodgers is 6'2"... bet he's dealt with the same). Bryce is likely dealing with similar challenges due to his size, but it clearly doesn't mean it can't be managed at a high level. Also, I'm not convinced that "prototypical footwork" should be the end goal for a QB that isn't built like the prototype. What matters more is timing and rhythm with his receivers... which, as we've both noted, has been evolving as the WR room flips from vet stopgaps to rookies. He will need to improve there. That's not in dispute. What is in dispute is the impact that footwork is having on his ability to process and execute. The earlier suggestion that he's “hopping around” to see the field implies a frantic or panicked visual search, which just isn’t something we’ve seen reflected in either the film or any reliable breakdown. If it were as exaggerated as described, it would’ve become a meme-worthy moment (or at least been on SportsCenter's Not Top 10). Instead, we've seen a QB who, like many young passers, occasionally loses platform stability under pressure. That is something that's common and correctable, and again, not something that shows up with enough frequency to suggest it's an endemic flaw. It’s worth continuing to track, but to argue it's a defining issue requires stronger proof than anecdote. As for the "investments" made in the offense after drafting Bryce, I think that might be stretched a bit. Yes, we've used back-to-back firsts on WRs and signed guards to big contracts. But beyond that? Mingo (2nd) and Diontae (FA) are gone. Zavala (4th) was the worst-rated OL in the league his rookie year Sanders (4th) and Evans (5th) are mid-round TEs. Tremble was given a small contract extension but is said here to be at best a blocking TE2. Jimmy Horn Jr (6th) and Coker (UDFA) are the other WR investments Corbett + BC got one-year deals coming off of injury Cade Mays was tendered, but he was cut to start last season That's not some overwhelming infusion of elite talent. It's better, sure... but acting like it's some embarrassment of riches feels overstated. Expecting instant chemistry and impact from rookies and second-year guys while simultaneously mocking the idea of contending this year also feels a little... off? So far, what I've heard as your criteria boils down to red zone efficiency and intermediate passing to the sidelines? You mentioned moving the ball inside the 20s... I'd recommend 3rd down conversion rate, big-time throws, and turnover-worthy plays. For red zone play specifically, we could look at turnovers inside the 20. Incompletions in the red zone as well as intermediate sideline incompletions could provide an interesting starting point for film study. Hell, any of these would give us a more objective framework to work from if you're open to using them. Do any of them work for you?
