Carolina Panthers fan group postpones Sunday’s ‘March on Mint’ event

Carolina Panthers fans are frustrated — to say the least — following the team’s embarrassing 1-8 start.

Through nine games, the Panthers are tied for the worst record in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals. Without a 2024 first-round pick, which was packaged in a deal to trade up for this year’s No. 1 pick and ultimately quarterback Bryce Young, things look bleak for the franchise’s future. Despite hiring head coach Frank Reich and an all-star coaching staff this offseason, the Panthers have looked lost, and members of the fan base planned to use the time off following Thursday’s 16-13 loss to the Chicago Bears to make their voices heard.

On Friday, Panthers Nation Podcast announced on its social media platforms that it would stage a “March on Mint” around Bank of America Stadium at noon on Sunday. Late Saturday, however, the event was postponed.

Said Panthers Nation Podcast on X, formerly known as Twitter: “We’ve learned about a children’s event at Bank of America Stadium on the same day. After further consultation, we want ensure safety and avoid any liability issues. We will reschedule for another time.”

The Panthers will host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 19. After that Week 11 matchup, they’ll start a stretch of three consecutive road games against the Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints.
