Bank of America Stadium

Coming to you guys on a Friday evening of the first week of the NFL season.

Carolina Panthers in the home opener, hosting the Chicago Bears at Bank of America Stadium.

Boys, we have finally, we have finally made it to the regular season.

Bryson, Ricky, good to see you guys as always.

Guys, I know I was a little concerned about this last week.

I feel like we all kind of were a little bit, but Jonathan Brooks, week one, playing in process blue, black helmet.

on the field at Bank of America Stadium.

The time has finally come.

There's a very...

Like, when you look at Charlotte Stadium, it's 15,300 seats.

It's the smallest in the FBS.

So the fan base is niche.

Take the plus 1.5. You can take them on the money line, and you can probably lay an alternate line, minus 2.5 for some plus money this game as well.

Two division winners, Bears and Panthers play, and it's at Bank of America down in Charlotte.

So I think the Carolina Panthers, they got Jalen Phillips.

They added some more pieces on offense there to this.

I frequent Carolina games.

Bank of America Stadium is an awesome venue.

Do a lot of ACC stuff down there, too.

I like Dave Canales.

it's a friday night edition of the two growls one roar podcast as we are a couple days away depending on when you're listening to this from the carolina panthers and chicago bears squaring off at bank of america stadium naturally we should be excited we really should be excited going into this but as a panthers fan that has been there and done that with bryce young For me, I'm not going to call it anxiety or stress or worried, but man, I got some feelings inside that say, I don't know what to expect.

Now, I would love for the Carolina Panthers to go out there on Sunday and just dominate.

Absolutely run the Bears out of the building, send them packing back to Chicago and But there is a version of me that has seen this time and time again with Bryce Young not being able to have a fast start.

That's enough, that's enough to win by four more in Indy.

In Carolina, Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina, the Bears travel to take on the Panthers, where Chicago is a three-point road favorite.

I guess I'll take Chicago.

Their defense scares me quite a bit.

And fourth, and this one's probably more about the mindset than a stat sheet, I wanna see this team treat Saturday like a rehearsal for Virginia, not a formality before it.

Because just a little over a week from now, West Virginia is heading to Bank of America Stadium to play Virginia in the Duke's Mayo Classic.

That event has been running for over a decade now, and it's built a real reputation for putting together attractive early season matchups on a neutral field in front of a national audience.

Virginia has never played in it.

man.

Susan says, a national crisis is paying $460 for my hotel next to Bank of America Stadium.

Good Lord.

Now that's a crisis.
