Flew in from Phoenix this afternoon and saw a few groups walking in the terminal as well. Had a few couples on my flight as well. Does Carolina typically have a following?

All 17 of them!?

No! Panther fans are currently apathetic, at best. They have the attitude, “Tepper doesn’t care so, we don’t care “. They seem to have the attitude, “We don’t support our team so it will look bad for Tepper, the owner.”

I hope we never have fans like this.

You probably saw some players’ parents getting off the plane. Might as well come a day or two early and enjoy the city.

Hopefully Gayle sees this as well, and forces ML to recognize and address it!!!!

Saints fans have lived too long with a joke of team!!! They won’t stand for it again!!!

Fix it.

Saints and NFL already sold all the seats. This is re-sell. Saints and the NFL aren't losing any money. The folks that try to flip their tickets are losing out with re-sell values being so low. Where they'll lose money is concessions and maybe merch.

Side note: The split the pot is probably gonna be pretty small... but if you enter, you'll have a better chance to win than usual.

I don’t think there were a ton of actually Detroit fans last week in the superdome

A lot of those fans were actually saints fans cheering for the lions

I think it will be the same this week

You're so right, but if fans have to keep taking a beating on re-sale, that will eventually cut into the original sale where the Saints and NFL make their money.
Think stock market. You're only gonna take a beating so long before you cut your losses and get out.

Absolutely not. Even if they were good. We are on their calendar every year.

I live out of town so we have to sell the ones we don’t use. I can tell you, yes it’s been hard to sell and we normally put them at face value

What the next best chance for a win this year, why wouldn’t they pick New Orleans to travel too?

Hope it upsets Mickey again!

I’ve lived in Charlotte for the past 15 years. When I moved here, the population was about 260,000 people. It is now 1.2 million people in the greater Charlotte area making it the 17th biggest city. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who is originally from here. Now they do consider both North and South Carolina Panthers territory, but they don’t have a huge following. Non sports fans will root for them, just to feel like they “belong”, attend parties, or hoping to raise their property value. 50% of Charlotte is made up of people from Ohio (no lie), 30% from NY/anywhere up North, 15% from Cali/West Coast, and 5% of originals. They have no following

I don’t think it matters much though. Those tickets already have been paid for. The Saints might actually make money on resale tickets.

 

[No2DC]

They have fans?

 

[inetnawlins]

City looks like a ghost town in the Quarter this morning. Usually visiting fans and traveling Saints fans come in for game. This doesn’t bode well for tomorrow.

Sucks it’s not crowded. The more the merrier. NOLA has always been a fan favorite destination regardless of team records.
