.....nothing earth shattering. I will be shocked if we look past this game. Completely different mind-set & attitude. Also look for a good turnout of Kelly @ Panther Daddy Stadium. Go Herd.

Will Bee there
Get to Ohio from anchorage and take the road trip. Can’t hardly wait
GO HERD!!!!

Kinda presumptuous say they should have beaten Eastern Michigan and Georgia State, and not mentioning the fact that North Carolina A&T was an FCS team was an interesting omission.

I guess if you're trying to sell this stuff to Panther fans, you have to get a little loose with reality.

 

[Herd Fever]

still a terrible decision to bring them up.

Their HS stadium will have 70-30 Marshall fans. Our 7th home game

Their stadium is small but amazing; nicer than The Joan.

Their stadium is 10x nicer than the Joan. Sure it doesn’t seat 40k but aesthetically it’s night and day. And he’ll we can’t even fill up our “college” stadium

The fact that the Joan is 30+ years older than Charlotte's stadium might have something to do with the difference in their quality/modernity.

After five seasons (three in FBS), with the bump programs get from transitioning now expended, they sit at 0-5 with a loss to NC A&T, and a 16-34 all-time record (.320). Maybe you can't just be born bigger than schools that have been playing for 100+ years after all.

I personally think the Joan is anything but an eyesore in it's apperance. Much better place than some others I could name

The only downside to the Joan is the exterior. Inside, it's not too shabby.

Yeah if you just ignore the grime on the concrete bathrooms that havent been updated since the joan opened.

Please dont take my criticisms to mean I dont love the joan, I do, but its showing its age

 

[herdalicious]

I don't have a lot of inside info, but I have a vested interest in disposing of my own waste, so I investigated this with my secret contacts, deep inside the AD. Turns out, they planned to rennovate the bathrooms in the Joan this summer, but then structural issues in the endzone manifested that required immediate attention and took that budget.

Still, we could see those renovations happen as early as this offseason. We'll probably still have to stand in a row with our d--ks out, but the gaping maw we expel ourselves into is gonna be way more plush.

 

[W-S HerdFan]

Will be there with my Herd-on! I look for this to get out of control for the niners, much like Chase's 1st time down there in '15. We will see.........

We could if it were only 15K seats in a metro area of 2 Mil.

If only the Joan had half as much concourse space as the 49ers new digs. Oh well, I guess when you seat only about 15,000, you have plenty of extra space.

From my visit there 2 years ago, UNCC's variety of concession offerings put the Joan to shame, however.

licious, does this possibly mean more porta potties in our immediate future at least in the short run??

Bet they aren't held hostage by Sodexo. Smart people.

 

[WV_Celt]

I've never quite understood the obsession of the concourses and concessions. I don't go to games to walk around not watching the football.

I believe Jerry Richardson ( Panthers owner) has also like Wofford dropped a bunch of money on the Charlotte program.

Richardson played football at wofford. Their stadium is pretty nice but nothing special.

My understanding is the renovations would happen in the offseason, but some of the bidet installations may bleed over into the 2018 season.

That last part was a lie.

 

[Herd Fever]

I get it, its modern stadium. But that isnt the reason why they should be in this conference.
