Carolina Panthers v Chicago Bears at Bank Of America Stadium


A perfect fall day for the first preseason Panthers game of 2013.  I've been fortunate to get a ticket from a friend of A'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.)
