Carolina Panthers games are THE thing to do in Charlotte. I found this out when I asked one of my new friends: "remind me again which sport the Panther's are?" Who knew a simple question could cause such an uproar! To set me straight once and for all, one of my classmates invited me to attend a game with her and her husband. I hadn't been to a football game since high school so thought it would be fun to give it a try.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but here are some observations I had at the game I think might differ from other NFL game experiences around the country:
1. The mascot for the team is named Sir Purr - intimidating? Not really.
2. The very first person on the field was a local pastor. His job was to bless the game before it began.
3. Right before the game began a commercial flashed up on the big screen that showed a series of kids reminding everyone to watch their language during the game and be considerate of the little ears around them.
I had a great time at the game and hope that after a few more tries I will understand what all of the calls mean. For my first NFL game, though, a 47-3 victory over the Washington Redskins was a pretty good way to start.
