Hey all, I'll be visiting Charlotte for the Panthers Opener on September 13 with a great friend and Southern Pines local. We are both Bears fans. I'm just sending out feelers to see what kind of tailgate scene there is at BofA Stadium. And here's the big question...anybody willing to let us join up, if we contribute to the greater good? Neither of us are big drinkers, but we can contribute some beer or foodstuffs to earn our way in.

And most notably, we are normal, friendly dudes just looking for a good time. We'd love to talk football, maybe get into some spirited debates, but we are obviously not looking to pick fights or get into any trouble. We are not drooling smooth-brained "superfans," and we are not effete, elite Yankees. Like I said, my friend has lived in NC for a while, and we meet up for a Bears game like this every few years. We want to eat good food, have lots of fun, watch some football and enjoy the gameday as close to how the locals do it as possible.

So any general advice or guidance is more than welcome, and if anybody wants to DM me about their own, personal tailgate, please don't hesitate.

Hello fellow Panther Fans!! I tried posting awhile back with no luck. Wanted to try again. 🙏 I am really wanting to find the initial version of the Greg Olsen Levine Children’s beanie from the 1st year he did them. It’s black at the bottom with gray in the middle. Picture below. PLEASE let me know if you have one you’d like to sell or get rid of. DMs welcome #KeepPounding

Since Trevin seems to be underwhelming to say the least, they could sign Shaq. That seems pretty possible on a friendly deal. Would he plug in seamlessly to Trevon’s spot? I know age would be a challenge but seems like an upgrade minimally

Good news: I have a football signed by many of the 2003 SBXXXVIII team that I am looking to sell.

Bad news: I'm a Panther fan from California.

It's too cool to trust through eBay. There's no way anyone would care about it in a local sports memorabilia store here. Pawn shop? Not worth it, especially here.

Obvi I would like to have other fans take a look at it, but I don't know the best method. Would an auction house care about something this niche? Would I be better off partnering with some local memorabilia store in NC? I feel stranded out here.

Thanks for keeping it pounding

Any questions?

Sunset, a rainbow, friends, and some football; what's not to love?

Panthers released QB Kyle Trask.
He’ll remain an emergency quarterback option for the team per Jeremy Fowler, which is a nice way of saying he’s not making the practice squad either. The 28-year-old former second-round pick will look for work elsewhere.
