Also I was wondering if anyone knew any info about if you could meet the players after practice and if so where?

Thanks in advance for any help

Is the Fan Fest worth it? Is it worth traveling a few hours to get there? As a fan, what will I get out of it? My son and I are seriously considering coming down Sat. but don't want it to be a waste of time. Also... is there a fee to get in and are they selling beer? Inquiring minds want to know.

Not sure if I'd travel several hours to go to it. Training camp is worth the trip but FanFest is just watching them practice from a distance. I'm going but it's only a 30 minute drive for me. But don't take my word for it. I'm hard to please.

I agree, I only live about 20 minutes from uptown so it's not that big of a deal. The only reason I go is to see the full contact practice. After that I usually leave.

I'm driving 3 hours to go to fan fest. It will be my fourth trip and I love going. My son 4 has gone almost every year of his life and has loved it. Now I get to take my other son (5 months) to start his life as a Panther Fan!!!

I've been to both and while practice is more about watching players progress and seeing who's new...Fan Fest is a chance to really get a good look at the team before anyone else does. Its also fun to be that close to the players, almost every year (except last year) Smitty jaws with the crowd and guys communicate back and forth. Its a blast!!!

I'm pretty sure they do sell beer. I may be wrong though. Concessions are open, I know that for a fact.

It is deff. hot and worth an hour ride to sit a few rows from some of the best players in the nfl. Doesn't hurt that it is Free, and a great atmosphere for a young one to learn about the game all the while sitting on the front row and getting autograhps.

Don't expect to get big name players autographs though. The team fans out at the end of practice and there is a good chance that you will get five autographs and not one of them will make the Roster.

Im driving all the way from KY to go to Fan Fest i go every year and love it. Wouldnt miss it for the world.

How long is the drive for you ? I lived in Bowling Green when I went to WKU. It was a haul from Charlotte. Only thing that made it bearable was riding in my GTO.

I think I'm gonna go, it would be nice to see some of you guys should you head down. I had season tickets last season and didn't tailgate or anything with any huddlers.

This will be my second year going down there. I just enjoy having an excuse to go to the stadium. Went to 5 games last year and we always tailgated on moorehead street. right @ the bridge before the stadium. I've never tailgated with any huddlers either but got tickets from a huddler for the playoff game. But if anyone is ever at a night game and see a group of people setting the opposing teams logo on fire before the game, come have a beer with us and eat some food.:D

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
