The Carolina Panthers kick off the 2024 season on Sunday, Sept. 8 on the road against the New Orleans Saints. Here in Charlotte, there's a party celebrating the new season.

Roaring Riot is a fan club devoted to uniting and growing Panthers fans while showing support for their favorite team.

How the Riot began

In 2008, friends and avid Panthers fans Zack Luttrell and Joe Ryan attended an away game vs. the Atlanta Falcons. They desired to build a stronghold of Black and Blue fans to support their team.

Since then, Roaring Riot has been organizing home game tailgates and away game trips to expand the fanbase into a loud and proud community.

Today, Roaring Riot is represented in 36 cities in 42 states + 11 countries — including Australia and Russia.

Becoming a member

For a $35 membership fee, Panthers fans can officially become part of the club.

New members get discounts to bars, restaurants, and national merchants selling official Panthers gear + dedicated tailgate space near Bank of America Stadium.
