text: A resident of the Charlotte Metro Area for over years yet I had never seen the Panthers live until now It is definitely a different experience than watching from your couch I would recommend everyone go to a game at least once There is a tier of excitement that one cannot experience on TV The buzz of the crowd is unyielding You get to see all of the action without pesky commercials and you have the backdrop of the city skyline to bootnnThe stadium is pretty much what you would expect Typical food fanfare and gear available for purchase Get your hotdog beer jersey etc while in route to the bathroom or back to your seat The club level offers a more exclusive lounge area with somewhat shorter concession lines but do not expect any gourmet pretzels Of course the pricing is insane and the selections are limited The only Gatorade offered is Ice Blue as it most closely resembles the team colornnIf you do not like crowds brace yourself The security checkins are elbow to elbow and are required for entry Dump the contents of your pockets and get waved by the magic wand before making your way to your seats nnAnother plus here is the people watching factor You are sure to see all types of people at any game I will leave it at that and let you see for yourself Prepare to be potentially smacked in the face by someone is swirling fan towel or have your chair kicked numerous times by the bratty year old in the seat behind you Do not get me wrong it is all part of the experience
