Hurting jerry where it matters most.

[FattyFatFat]

All these post regarding ownership has got me thinking. Is there a way to hurt jerry where it matters most to him?

Seems like jerry has us over a barrel with PSL's. The city (us) is/we are paying for renovations for his stadium. It seems the more the panthers suck, the richer JR gets.

This isn't a rhetorical question. Is there a way to hurt jerry in his pocketbook? As a fan, I feel that we have no power and no voice. Jerry needs to know that this poo isn't working for us.

I have a feeling that this wont change until jr kicks the bucket. And with a brand new ticker, he'll probably outlive us all.

The problem in Charlotte is that even when Panther fans don't show up to the stadium, tens of thousands of opposing fans happily do show up to fill that void. So the impact is hardly felt except when the game starts and the home team is out cheered.

I'll say this again as I've said in other threads about "boycotting" the team.  It's not going to work.  Charlotte is a city of transplants from other cities.  They are still fans of the teams from their hometowns.  If what little Panthers fans we have stop going to the games, these transplant fans will gladly fill the stadium.  Every Panthers home game would become a home game for the opposition.  Remember the 2010 game against the Ravens?  The stadium was purple, and after the Ravens scored, the TV announcers commented "It sounds like a Ravens home game!"

 

Jerry Richardson has no reason to support his fanbase and put a winner on the field because of this reason.  Tickets will be sold regardless if they are to Panthers fans or not.

I don't want to hurt JR.

That kills me, I fuging hate that.  If something so stupid as a football game could break my heart, that's pretty close to it.

PSL owners stand to lose thousands if they do not renew their seats. My buddy owns 4 really nice club seats and he is close to taking the hit and not renewing.

Turn in your PSLs.

Turn in your PSLs.

That's it, isn't it?

No PSL owners will eat the cost of a tickets to make a point. I would love to see a game where they all come in and leave a sign on their seats, then leave before the game starts.

Imagine the stadium full of "on strike" signs

Ticket sales are pocket change to NFL owners; they make their money off TV revenue. 

 

I feel for folks that are PSL owners, but if you aren't happy, let them go.  Continuing to spend thousands of dollars every year just in the hopes that you will recoup your investment isn't very smart.

I don't think anyone bought PSLs as an investment

Do they still get their revenue if the game is blacked out ? Serious question.

He won't live forever.

Hopefully the next owner cares a little more about winning and less about profits.

Will the team still be here? I know there are a lot of guys (and gals) in Charlotte and the Carolina's that have the capital to purchase the team.
