The Pictures of the Carolina Panthers' Insanely Low Attendance are Shocking

I heard on Pardon My Take earlier this week that the Carolina Panthers were selling tickets for 45 cents. I almost didn't believe it. I figured somebody saw a 45 cent ticket somewhere, but in reality, most tickets were going for more than that.

I think I was wrong.

That is shocking. I understand that the weather is a big factor. I understand that they Panthers are easily the most pathetic team in the league this year. But that is shocking. I've never seen an NFL stadium this empty. Even if those pictures are taken before kickoff, or during halftime, it's nuts how few people are at this game. 

Can't help but feel bad for Bryce Young. You go from being the biggest swinging dick in all of Alabama, to starting for an NFL franchise where you can't drum up an audience of more than a few hundred people.

That's unbelievable for an NFL franchise. At that point, you should honestly bite the bullet and advertise it as a free game. I know they basically did that with the 45 cent tickets, but if you billed this as "FREE NFL FOOTBALL" then you might at least have some respectable attendance numbers. That would be embarrassing in it's own right, but at least that's kind of fun. However, as I understand it, Panthers owner David Tepper is physically incapable of doing anything cool or fun. He's making a push for worst owner in sports. I'd love to know who the last team to have attendance that low is. I have a hard time imagining it's happened in the last 20 years. Keep it up Carolina. You're doing just terrible.
