I know what a lot of you are going to say: “If it wasn’t for Doug and Vinnie purchasing this team, the Panthers would have been sold a long time ago”. If you are one who believes in this, you are certainly right. Viola and Cifu’s money definitely make the difference in keeping this team standing financially.
However, the owners can pour all the money they want into the team, but without the fans spending money on tickets and merchandise, there wouldn’t be any revenue or seats filled. This is not to say that the team is making money, because it’s not.
