Because this is the most important Panthers home game since before COVID, we decided to do it BIG for the Roaring Riot's Tailgate With A Purpose before the Panthers take on the Bucs with a potential playoff spot and First Place in the NFC South on the line. 

At 11:30a, Petey Pablo hits the main stage to blow the roof off, running through the Carolina anthems everyone wants to hear before we march into Bank of America Stadium and get LOUD.

That's right, you heard correctly. NORTH CAROLINAAAAAAA!!!!

Sunday's edition of the tailgate has everything you expect from a Riot party:

• Free, delicious food from Southern Science (and on a day like this, it won’t last long)
• $3 drinks from Tito's, Jack Daniels, Mighty Swell, Herradura, NoDa Brewing and more
• Tremendous vibes and a guaranteed great time with your Riot fam
• Free N/A drinks all tailgate long from our friends at Pepsi 
• And yes, as always: members get in free
• Oh, and the first 500 people through the gate will get free rally towels courtesy of Carolina Realty Advisors Group.

But here’s the deal. We’re expecting a huge crowd and we will hit capacity. If you want in, you need to get there early. That includes members. We will likely be turning people away - if you show up at 11:28 hoping to see Petey, you'll be sad.

Below, you'll see a few options to make things easier on Sunday. You can grab a VIP Booster Pass in the McClintock HVAC VIP Area, which includes all the awesome-ness of our usual VIP offerings PLUS meet & greets with Petey Pablo and a commemorative t-shirt. 

VIP Sold Out or not for you? You can pre-order one of our limited run shirts and pick it up at the tailgate.

And if you’re not a Riot member, the only way to lock in your spot is to grab a guest pass in advance. Members — grab one for your buddy now so they don’t end up with FOMO while you’re inside having the time of your life.

We will likely not be able to sell guest passes at the door for this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Repeat: PETEY PABLO WILL BE AT THE ROARING RIOT TAILGATE. The Panthers are in first place in the NFC South. PLAN ACCORDINGLY.  RAISE UP.
