A Question From An Italian Fan

I also went to that game with my lady, my mom, and my moms boyfriend (they live in AZ, we flew in for the game). I am surprised you had problems. I tailgated on the great lawn with several people from the huddle (PanthaSan, Mrs. PanthaSan, jayflip, dude with the smoking hot wife who's name I can't recall right now, and many others) and we actually had a ton of AZ fans come up and talk to us or ask for pictures with us, etc. When inside the game, the row of guys behind us were rowdy at first (like 7 of them who all looked like college wrestlers or something), but they ended up being cool and talking poo in a banter sort of way with me all game. No incidents in the bathroom or walking through the concourse or anything. Great experience all around, and I'll be doing it again this year when we play San Diego.

Really? I sat right by Panthasan actually he took a photo of me and my girl before the game. It was mostly just this group of guys by me, but did you see the fight afterwords? One of the most classless things I've ever seen at a sporting event.

I'll be in San Diego too man, should be a blast. I think I get more poo during games because I'm a younger white guy, and I usually roll with my small blonde girlfriend.

I went to the opener of the great :wacko: 2010 season in NY with my wife - the first game in the new Meadowlands Stadium. I received some comments about my teal 89 jersey already in Manhattan cause they also had a Steve Smith that time, but it was all fun, people were cool and I made sure to let everyone know that we had the REAL Steve Smith. Then we went to get the bus from Manhattan to stadium in NJ. The bus was completely packed with Giants fans. We were the last two persons to get on the bus nad the only non Giants fans. Now THAT was a great experience :ph34r: . We swallowed all the comments although 80% of them werde more fun than rude. We talked to Giants fans on our way to the stadium, everything was fine. Later in the stadium there was only one drunken idiot who barked at me the whole time during the game, but all the other GMen around us were respectful and great. It was a perfect day (except the loss) and I would do it again.

But I would never do the same in Philly and Oakland - despite all the love I have for my team.

BTW: I am from Germany, a die hard Panthers fan since 1997 (since my first of many stays in NC). I attend a lot of soccer games here and it is truly amazing how peaceful and safe it is to attend an NFL game being an Away-Fan. Mentioning I am from Germany, we even have a Panthers Fanclub here, so there are quite some Carolina fans in Europe.

Go Panthers!

Considering the stereotypes thrown out about the OP being Italian (therefore he must be a gangster and itching for a fight/murder) I have to wonder if the fans around here have any more class that the Philly fans.

Way to welcome a new and international member to the board. Its crap like that that is the reason nearly every discussion here is between the same handful of members, or otherwise trolls.

I doubt many here have crossed a state border much less ever visited another country.

I have to hand it to Atlanta fans, at least the ones I've encountered and who have encountered me when I went to the GA Dome for games. When I was still living in Auburn in '10 I went with my then-gf to a game wearing my blue Stewart jersey and hat and Falcons fans were pretty chill. We talked poo here and there but it was all in fun. I asked one woman, "what if we picked Cam Newton?" and she said "NO. That would be awful. I don't want to see him beat us."

Too bad :D

*****DO NOT WEAR YOUR PANTHER COLORS IN PHILLY***** Those people are classless nutcases.

Don't listen to this REDSKINS fan... seriously....nothing more annoying than Redskins fans from NC...

Why do you post here? So you wouldn't wear a Redskins jersey in Philly? Really? It's funny grown adults are scared to wear their team colors in Philly... glad you're not a Panthers fan.

I've been to Philly, for a Panthers game AND Blue Jays vs Phillies

I wore my Panthers jersey back at the 2004 NFC title game in Philly and my JOE f'n CARTER jersey in the nosebleeds at the Bank in Philly...everyone around me was actually pretty respectful and all the jabs were in good fun...and the Jays swept them and Panthers...well we know what happened in that game... : )

Just don't be obnoxious, and you will be fine.

BE PROUD AND REP OUR PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!

So awesome that you're a Panthers fan in Italia!!!! : )

LOL.........judging by this thread you would think the Philly home games are played on Riker's Island. It is quite obvious Panthersphan is the only one who has ever been to a game there. Wear your Panthers jersey and nothing will happen......it isn't the 700 level of Veterans Stadium anymore.

There was a guy on this board who went to our game against Oakland in 2008 decked out in Panthers gear. I think he even put together a sort of small photo journal of his trip.

I remember a few of the pictures were of what looked like thousands of completely empty upper deck seats covered in seagulls. A few people talked trash and got in his face but the overall tone of it struck me as more pathetic and depressing than menacing.

HOLY SH*T. The Huddle, supposed to be full of the best Panther fans around, is encouraging NOT wearing Panthers' gear to an away game? F*K the A HOLES in Philly, represent your team. This is why we get punked when teams like the Eagles and the Steelers come to Carolina. You act like a bunch of GOD DAMN 9 YEAR OLD GIRLS SOMETIMES. Fine, why don't one of you guys send him a warm sweater and I nice Chianti he can tailgate with.

What your saying is you would renounce the Panthers under threat of a beer (which the stupid philly fan probably paid 8 bucks for) being poured on your head? How many times do I have to call you fatty before I get your lunch money?

Being poured on my head is not so bad. Being hit in the head with it, well I could do without that. :)

    • Playing around with mock draft simulator this is probably my favorite one yet All the Super tantalizing potentials were off the board at 19. Proctor was there but I really question if he can hold up at OT in the NFL at his size. I think speed rushers might put him in a blender. I was definitely willing to move down to pickup mire capital. There's an obvious focus on the trenches in this draft. If you can own the LOS you can win a lot of games. Hell, the Seahawks just won a SB doing just that. Iheanachor oozes potential. He has all the physical tools to end up being the beat OT in this class but he's pretty raw having not been playing football long. Well worth it with the first pick in the 2nd. Christen Miller is listed as a DT here but he'd play DE in our defense. Not a lot of people are talking about it focusing on LB instead but our DEs suck too. Lawson should be a day one starter at MLB. His NFL ceiling might be more good than great but that's fine. He's smart, he's capable, and he was the QB in that Bama defense. That's what we need. If you want to runaway 3-4 defense, you need a dog at NT. We don't have one. Orange can be that. He's not gonna pile up stats on his own but that's not the point of a NT. The point of a NT is to make everyone else's job easier.  Slaughter is a potential starting center. Maybe not as a rookie but he could potentially be the long-term answer. I'm never going to give up on my dream of the Panthers having a true sideline to sideline ball hawking FS. Safety wasn't high on my list but Bud Clark was too tempting to pass up. At the very least he's a guy who should earn a role on 3rd and long obvious passing down type situations.  Kevin Coleman is exactly the type of slot WR type we need working the underneath and muddle with T-Mac and Coker on the outside.  TJ Hall is just a dog and he's experienced playing outside and at nickel. He can cover and he's not afraid to step up against the run. He should be able to earn a roster spot as he hopefully develops as an NFL player. Nwaiwu is another development type pick with the advantage of having experience playing both LG and RG in college. At this point in the draft you're likely looking at guys projected as career backups and the more versatile you are as a backup the more roster value you have. I packaged two late rounders together to move io to secure Allar who has all the physical tools you want in a QB and has largely been forgotten since he missed a lot of games down the stretch this year. If he didn't he'd likely be a mid-round pick. He might still end up being a mid-round pick. If I could get him as a developmental guy in the 6th I'm doing that all day.
    • Honestly thought Ickey was fairlt average. That's just based on the eye test. I haven't seen any grades or anything to base that on. Usually when the QB was pressured, it seemed like it was coming from the LT or RG. 
    • Its actually easier than the one we played this season of you compared 2025 win pct.of opponents.
