Well, last Sunday Carson and I had fun the Panthers game last Sunday.

Carson and I at the game. It was raining, so we worse rain ponchos. I wore a clear one. Carson worse a UNC poncho with a Carolina Panthers shirt underneath. 


We got there before the arena filled up. It's the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. Carson and I cam to see the the Carolina Panthers take on the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are, of course, in division rivals of the Panthers. Unfortunately, Carson and I sat in front of an obnoxious Saints fan. 
For some staring entertainment, they had a min pee-wee Football (and this is American Football for those of you who live outside the United States) featuring Sir Purr (the official mascot of the Carolina Panthers) as the referee. 

Panthers now take the field. 


And here they are! 

Special guest drum beater with Sir Purr was a a 6-year old cancer patient Braylon Beam. He got to bang the drum that reads keep pounding. The motto of the Carolina Panthers. The cheerleader (called the Top Cats) lead the crowd in the keep pounding chants. They have one side chant "KEEP" and the other side chants "POUNDING." 

Game time. Saints got a head start. They stated to lead 10-0 at the end of the first quarter. But we came back in the second quarter ting the score 10-10. 

Half time tribute to the British hard rock band, THE WHO!!


This is what happens after the Panthers score. 

Panthers win, 27-22!! GO PANTHERS!!!! That sure shut up that obnoxious Saints fan who sat behind us! While I went to the bathroom they said the team most likely to win would be the team with the fewest turnovers. There were two turnovers total and the Saints go  BOTH of them. In fact, when Josh Norman got that interception in the end, that interception spelled victory for the Panthers! YES!!!!!! Oh, and the Panthers recovered a fumble earlier. 

Bank of America Stadium has the flag of the United States waving the highest. But being the team represents Carolina, they have the flag of North Carolina on the left and the flag of South Carolina on the right. Sorry, it wasn't a very good picture. 
There was a jazz band playing and collecting money for their church. Since, this was for a church, I felt I had to donate to them. 



Carson and I, both with our Panthers shirts happy about the Panthers victory. It was a fun day in Charlotte.
