What is the worst incident you have witnessed against an opposing fan or yourself at the ballpark?
  • "Jerry Richardson's policy to evict any fan who removes his shirt in the stadium. I personally don't want to see any of these shirtless rednecks, but it is N.C., with temperatures sometimes near 100 degrees in August and September. Please! Concentrate on this joke of a team."
  • "None -- in fact the opposing fans often outnumber us."
  • "Beer poured on an Oakland Raiders fan's head."
What is your favorite memory from a game at the stadium?
  • "Jake Delhomme came off the bench in the second half versus Jacksonville on opening day several years ago and led the Panthers to a comeback win, capped by a last-second touchdown pass to Ricky Proehl."
  • "Beating the Cowboys in the playoffs. But of course everybody beats the Cowboys if/when the Cowboys actually make the playoffs."
  • "Seven pretty, mid-20s women were thrown out of the stadium from a row about 15 back from my seat, which is three rows from the field behind the visitor's bench. It was an Atlanta game about 2002, as Seifert was coach and Weinke was QB. Following a great Michael Vick play, the women stood up and cheered, opening a banner that was long enough to span all seven of them. It read: You have a little Weinke, but we've got a BIG VICK! Alas, among much cheering, they were led from the stadium."
