A perfect fall day for the first preseason Panthers game of 2013. I've been fortunate to get a ticket from a friend of Amy's, Mike - whom we will go and see Muse with next month, to see my 2nd NFL game, and 2nd Panthers v Bears game funnily enough. Mike's dad has season tickets on the 40 yard line, on the Panthers side, 10 rows back. Phenomenal seats!
The game was a good one, and the Panthers looked good. Hopefully this will give them a start to a successful season. Defense was spot on and Cam Newton and the attack looked confident. The game was not as close as the score indicates. Panthers had a good lead for a majority of the game, then rested their top players in the last quarter to give some fringe players a chance.
I had a great afternoon. Couldn't believe how good the seats were, and the weather could not have been better for watching football. I am now 2-0 for Panthers games I've been at. Maybe I need to come all year as a good luck charm.
Carolina Panthers 24 (B.LaFell, K.Barner, J.Norman touchdowns, G.Gano extra point, field goal, M.Lineberry 2 extra points) defeated the Chicago Bears 17 (J.Bostic, M.Ford touchdowns, R.Gould 2 extra points, field goal)
Paid Attendance: 70,700 (This game was considered the 104th straight a sell-out.I don't believe the crowd would have been a two-thirds of this size.)
