Your Favorite Place To Sit In Boa And Best Bang For Buck..

[panther4life]

Close to pulling the trigger on season tickets. Dilemma is I can get club seats all over for face which at best is 3k for a pair for season, lower level sideline arent much cheaper if at all, or I can sit in the 500's top 5 rows for half or even less than half or sit my ass at home in front of an HDTV for free.

So onto the question what sections have you guys sat in and your favorites for the money?

Thanks for any input

Sit at home its fun. You get to play madden too.

My seats are in 529. I am biased since I shelled out the cash for the PSLs, but I love the view. Right down the center of the field. The PSLs in the lower bowl are just too much to justify at this point. Maybe down the road I will upgrade to lowers, but for my money the upper deck endzones are the best as long as you are like row 15 or lower. Plus my seats are on the aisle which is great for piss breaks.

While I do love BoA, and seeing the Panthers play live, I'd much rather save my money, buy a huge TV, and watch the game at home. The beer and food is cheaper, I can see the players in HD, I can Huddle chat during the game, and I have ac/heat. Also, I go see Training Camp every year, so I don't really care about seeing the games live. It's way more personal at Training Camp.

I like watching at home as well, but damn I love the tailgating before a game. Something about getting down there at 8:30am and firing up the grill and cracking open a brew. Turning on the music, hoisting the flags. Talking a little smack to the opposing retards. Love that stuff.

I like endzone 10 rows or higher. I usually grab a couple of clubs(scalped) a year for ease of urination and drinkage. But bang for the buck? Endzone for me. You get lucky sometimes like the 1st game of our SB year where I was like row20 and saw Proehl catch to beat Jacksonville first game. I knew both feet were in before the ref.

Best bang for buck?

Probably Men's Club

I have sat all over the stadium. I'll run down some pros and cons.

-North Side of the stadium is in the sun for day games. Especially in the 500lvl. You will be dealing with the sun in your eyes really bad at 4 oclock games second half of the season.

-South Side of the stadium is in the shade for most games. I remember one game being upper level in the shade in December. The breeze and shade froze me out.

- Last 2-3 rows of the club level are great on rainy days. There is a little overhang that will keep you dry unless the wind is bad. Also these seats are closest to concessions and restrooms

-Club Level restrooms are better and in some cases concessions are better.

-Being close to the field can be great when the action is near by. But all to often you will be watching the game on the jumbo tron. It's probably not so bad if you are between the 30 yard lines but either endzone you miss some of the action. Of course it's awesome when Steve catches a TD right in your face!

-500 level seats give a great birds eye view but consider your age. If you intend to hold the seats for a long time the journey will become more arduous each season.

-500 level seats have a rougher crowd. I'm blue collar as anyone but some people can't handle it.

-South and West side have a view of Charlotte depending on lvl. Can be nice for night games.

- The majority of people park and enter from the North gate. There's almost never a line to get in on the south side. It cane take a long time to get in from the North.

-Panthers bench is on the South Side, away team on the North

My personal goal is to own 300 level seats. They give a decent view while still being close enough to the action. I'm 26 so I need a few raises and to save some but that is the "dream scenario". There is nothing wrong with the 500 level. It gives you a great view. The one thing that can stink is being SW,NW,SE,NE corners of the stadium because you cannot tell if a field goal is good all of the time. I was celebrating against Minnesota last year and it turned out to be no good.

If you can afford it, great! Those expensive seats will feel really expensive in a season like 2010 or 2001.

That is the tough thing. The experience fans can create at home is so nice with HD TVs and cheaper beer. Still when Newton goes up against Brees or Manning, YOU WERE THERE It's a great feeling that is far to rare at BofA. I try to go and be as loud as possible for the players, for the television, and for pride. I hate when people call us a Whine and Cheese crowd. I want to be that younger rabid fan that makes BofA our house.

I absolutely agree that being there is extra special.

I just think that being home is more of a plus than being there. I still support the team fanatically, I go to Training Camp, I buy merchandise, etc etc.

But, I think there is an inherent problem with going to stadiums now. With gas being expensive, beer and food costing so much, and (good) tickets being expensive, it's so much easier just to sit at home, watch my big screen HD tv, drink multiple beers (that would equal out to cost the same as one beer at the stadium) and adjust the temperature to my liking.

One of the neatest things is to pass under the Brookshire BLVD at a night game. The acoustics are great so everyone gets really loud!

I've been in 128 for the past 2 seasons and have loved it. Now that I live in Charlotte and can afford going to games, I can't think of any reason not to go. You still get to watch half the games from home anyway, and if I'm wanting to be buzzed for a game I'll take care of that before I enter the stadium. I much prefer to sit down low; despite sometimes difficult viewing angles, it's worth it for me to be closer to the action avoid that long walk down at the end of the game.

The only time I've been to games is the lower deck and I really would not like to sit on the lower deck for my money. I've sat in the East end zone pretty much every time I've been and it's hard to see what's going on. I always love sitting in the lower upperdeck in one of the corners when I went to clemson.

I've also sat at many different sections in 100s, 300s and 500s and in my opinion, as cliché as it sounds, there's not a bad seat in the house.
