where was Carolina crowd?
 

was it just me, or did anyone else notice how bad the Carolina crowd was from the start of the game and of course it got worse as game went on. the stadium holds 74,500 and the official game book from nfl site http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/gamece...R_Gamebook.pdf says "paid attendance" was 72,032, we all know darn well that paid does NOT equal "actual". id say actual was at best 50,000 at start of game and maybe 35k early 4th qtr. id bet if that game was in the dome we'd prob be near full. but it clearly shows (surprisingly) how little the Carolina fans care about that mess of a team there right now. granted the weather was a bit on the dreary side, and it rained a bit, but come on. I know he has some good excuses (injuries at QB), but could this be the end of the John Fox era?

Yeah that caught my attention as well. Seemed like it was just over 50 percent attendence. I think they called it a season already.

Re: where was Carolina crowd?
 

I believe that they haven't won a home game since sometime in '06. That probably contributes to a lackluster turnout.

Re: where was Carolina crowd?
 

You are right. They announced it several times yesterday.

Even so, redwolf_5 is right.............
"if that game was in the dome we'd prob be near full"


Fair weather *****cats!

Re: where was Carolina crowd?
 

yep. I can remember watching saint teams that were worse than the panthers sunday and the stadium was packed.

Re: where was Carolina crowd?
 

The Saints continue to pack the Dome, reason being they love their Saints no matter their record...

Re: where was Carolina crowd?
 

The Panthers fans came to my house and said we might as well root or the Saints we havent won a game at home since last year.

Re: where was Carolina crowd?
 

might help if you win a game at home

Re: where was Carolina crowd?
 

I almost feel bad for those guys. I've always thought Panthers fans were a classy crowd. Remember the props they gave us for the first game after Katrina?

If they still had Jake "the Cajun Man" Delhomme in there, things would be different.

Well weather conditions to go along with record might have something to do with it.
