"2014-11-12T00:00:00"^^ . . "A resident of the Charlotte Metro Area for over 9 years, yet I had never seen the Panthers live until now. It's definitely a different experience than watching from your couch! I'd recommend everyone go to a game at least once. There's 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 boot.\n\nThe stadium is pretty much what you'd 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 don't 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 color.\n\nIf you don't 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 seat(s). \n\nAnother plus here is the people watching factor. You're sure to see all types of people at any game. I'll leave it at that and let you see for yourself. Prepare to be potentially smacked in the face by someone's swirling fan towel or have your chair kicked numerous times by the bratty 8 year old in the seat behind you. Don't get me wrong, it's all part of the experience."^^ . . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ .
