COME INSIDE THE WEATHER ISFINE—REALLY.
So leave it to a bunch of guys—football fanatics in the best way—to create a retreat from ho-humtailgate huddles, spend big-bucks,think of everything you could wantfor Game Day—indoors andout—and once satisfied with theresults, christen it with the name“The Shed”. We knew instantlythat this is with who and is wherethe Prowler staff would fall-in athome, and we’ve been preachingto you for a Sunday appearanceever since. And we’ve met andmade some really good friends thisseason—thanks to those of youwho have made the trip thus far.
Here’s where The Shed mayjust become the hottest commodi-ty going pre-game. Let’s start witha check list of tailgate needs:
GREAT LOCATION 610 McNinchStreet , just two blocks from BOAStadium—a quick walk.
OUTDOOR TAILGATING Thebest. A large deck, games area withcornhole and many other barfavorites, plus a large, private VIPsocial area.
INDOOR TAILGATING Betterthan the best. A spacious ware-house converted into a sports fan’sdream—large HDTVs show topcoverage and games from am topost-game. A ridiculously largecentral projection image gets youin the game for the Panther homegame and the sound is nothingshort of a work of art—inside andout.
GRUB Backyard-style burgers—cooked-to-order on Rok charcoalgrills, dogs, with gourmet fixin’sand sides are here—so you canwatch the game, not the grill.Gather your friends, not the gro-ceries— and enjoy the entire day.
IT’S HOT No, really, it’s warminside and comfy with bar-heightseating, stadium chairs up frontand green, squishy carpeting soyou’re always on the field.
Panther fans, here’s where the going gets tough: Let’s faceit, we’re not Cheeseheads—or remotely close in faith and constitution as fans.From late August through October any Carolina NFL outing has its own naturalappeal. The beautiful, mercifully-cooling Carolina skies beckon football fans andtag-alongs alike to the festival-type gathering spreading miles outward from Bank
of America Stadium. Strangers and families dress in complimentary Panther blue and silverwith white trimmings.
People of all ages enjoy hot food off the grill and cold refreshments in various encamp-ments—from simple to the insanely over-the-top tailgate environments. The weather isgreat. The food is great. And our team—well, they appear to be on their way to greatnessalso. The play, from many, and collectively, is often sensational. But the wins are comingslowly, and the weather is turning...quick. So who will stand outside for five hours or so andcheer on this (deserving) squad of Panthers? Let’s not answer that question—because, wedon’t have to. Let’s just move the huddle indoors for pre-game tailgates and get warmed upfor game days at the newest and coolest of all indoor/outdoor VIP tailgate facilities—TheShed. And there’s no better time to plant your tailgate flag anew than November 13th,when the party kicks into overdrive. Here’s more:
