If Panther take care of business on Sunday............it will be the Atlanta game that determines whether we are a wild card or number 2 seed............even the possibility a number one seed.

 

Other than fans in Atlanta wanting to see their team spoil that opportunity for the Panthers............this should be their lowest attendance of the year..........and the lack of demand and cheap ticket prices coupled with the game closer to Charlotte than any other would give Panther fans a very good chance to create a home field advantage in another stadium for the first time in their franchise................

I haven't been to a game since Panthers @Texans in 2011. Sat 4 rows behind the Panthers bench. Paid about $220/per about 6 weeks prior.

 

Who are Panther players who interact with the crowd these days. In Houston it was 70% Shockey and 30% Smitty. Shockey was funny as hell to the Texans fans who were yelling at him. He seemed to really feed off it then entire game.

 

On occasion, Smitty still grabs a hat and sharpie near the end of a game, and gives it to a kid. 

 

There is not one player that stands out and does it much more than others.  The backups and offense often turn to the crowd waving their arms to get make it louder.  When the D makes a big stop, they will briefly interact with the fans when coming to the bench.  The best was when CJ got a turnover and brought the ball back to the bench before throwing it in the stands.  Went about 15 rows into the stands.  A 60+ year old guy caught it ... that was pretty cool. 

 

I don't see much interaction from the offense ... but I am in sec 131 behind the defense.

Funny thing is, its a federal crime to sell any sporting event tickets more than $10 over face value.

In the US, ticket scalping is the practice of buying and reselling event tickets by private citizens, rather than by the sponsoring venue or organization, usually at a much higher price than their face value. Laws about ticket scalping vary by state, and there is no federal law that prohibits the practice. http://www.wisegeek.org/is-ticket-scalping-illegal.htm

North Carolina Regulates (strong)

NCGS § 14‑344.1 Internet resellers may sell tickets above face value without a cap price unless they are prohibited from doing by the venue

I believe the NFL only prohibits scalping of tickets by NFL personnel, not private citizens, as evidenced by the Mike Tice case.

I buy 98% of my tickets through scalpers,so God bless them,but if a scalper tries to sell me a fake ticket,may he rot in hell!

Maybe the laws have changed since 2009 when I had to do a research paper on this topic. But the internet resellers most likely can get away due to the location of the website and or the lack of laws covering reselling over the internet.

 

I will say this anyone buying a $50 ticket for $150-$200 and up is just an idiot.Then you add the costs of parking Food drinks merchandise and so forth, that one game could cost you up towards $600-$1000. Not worth it no matter who is playing. Bu then again that is my opinion. I use to go to every home game until I was sick of driving 3-4 hours and paying upwards of $500 every game. Happier sitting at home with my home made Hot wings, nachos and a case of Michelob Ultra on my Big screen.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
