Taylor Swift at Travis Kelce's Game

You read that title right. Travis Kelce recently spoke on his podcast, “New Heights” and basically says the NFL is “overdoing it” when it comes to the Taylor Swift coverage.

We have recently seen Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift as an item. At first, it seemed to be a rumor, but Travis’ brother Jason Kelce said there was some truth to the rumor. He didn’t necessarily say what the truth was, but that there was some. Then we saw Taylor sitting next to Travis’ Mom at a game and that right there kicked the sparks. Once it was known that Taylor would be at the Jets game, the “Swifties” as they are called snatched up as many tickets as they could just to get a glimpse of the star.

The NFL will and has capitalized off of it. Honestly, if I were an owner, I would be planning my own Taylor Swift halftime performance because Taylor is good for business! Wouldn’t you say she is? Honestly, it’s also not Taylor’s fault. She is a mega star that is dating or whatever she is with a well-known football star. This was bound to happen. What are your thoughts?

Not A Panthers Fan? Here's Where To Watch Your Favorite NFL Team In Charlotte North Carolina

In a city with as many transplants as Charlotte, there is a true melting pot of NFL fans in the Queen City. Hopefully, if you have chosen to call Charlotte home you at least cheer for the Panthers when they aren’t playing your original home team. Nothing illustrates this more than Bank of America Stadium, especially in the recent down years on Sundays. I went to the Denver Broncos game here last year. And keep in mind the Broncos were just as bad as the Panthers. But there was still just as much or probably even more orange than blue in the stadium. And I can’t think those fans traveled (unless they thought it was one of a few games they could actually win- they didn’t though). Here’s where to watch your favorite NFL Team in Charlotte North Carolina.

So you want to cheer on your team with like-minded fans in Charlotte? The good news is most teams have a team bar to visit on Sundays. These are typically locations secured by organized fan groups. Unfortunately, not every team has a bar or group. You won’t find an official meet-up spot for any of the other NFC South teams for example. So sorry Falcons, Saints, and Buccaneers Fans. That would certainly be a risky business move hosting the rival teams so I can understand it!

So before you grab your friends and head to the bar to cheer on your team, check out this list of where to watch each NFL team and their Charlotte North Carolina home. And I’m sure I’ll see you cheering them on the next time each team rolls into Bank of America Stadium. Maybe then the Panthers will be good enough for fans to actually want to attend the game? Personally they are going to have to have a better chance of winning before I drop NFL ticket money.

Arizona Cardinals

You’re on your own kid if you’re an Arizona Cardinals fan. If you own a sports bar or restaurant consider adopting the Cardinals fans. I do know a few!
Atlanta Falcons

Sorry Falcon’s fans, there isn’t a dedicated Falcon’s bar in the Queen City. You can request to join the private Facebook group Charlotte Atlanta Falcon’s Fans which may include meet-up locations!
Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore Ravens fans in Charlotte spend game days at Crown Station Pub (3629 N. Davidson St). Crown Station is home to the Queen City Ravens Nest fan group.
Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills fans your go-to spot on game day in Southend’s Tavern On The Tracks. Located at 1411 S. Tryon Street Tavern on the Tracks has been the longtime home of the Charlotte Bills Backers!
Chicago Bears

Bubba’s Bunkhouse in Harrisburg is the home of Beardown Charlotte. Enjoy southern comfort food while cheering on the Bears!
Cincinnati Bengals

Are you a Bengals fan in Charlotte? Or just enjoy watching Joe Burrow (guilty)? Watch the game with other Bengals fans at Greystone Pub at 3039 South Blvd.
Cleveland Browns

Perhaps it’s a different Ohio team you are cheering for on Sundays. If your team is the Cleveland Browns (my sympathies as you’ve dealt with a lot) you’ll want to visit Protagonist LoSo on game day.
Dallas Cowboys

Sorry, first I have to ask have you even been to Dallas? If you’re a Cowboys fan please stay amongst your own kind at 1st and Goal Sports Bar in the University area.
Denver Broncos

There are either a ton of Denver fans in Charlotte or they just travel well even when the team is struggling because Bank of America Stadium was orange last year when the Broncos came to town. The weekly gathering spot is Duckworth’s at Rea Farms!
Detroit Lions

Lions fans you’re game day spot is in Plaza Midwood. Hattie’s Tap & Tavern is the home for Detroit Lions fans in Charlotte.
Green Bay Packers

Cheeseheads unite! Those of you who migrated south can still watch the Packers with fellow fans at Blackfinn Ameripub in Ballantyne.
Houston Texans

If you’re looking to have a fan meet-up for the Houston Texans, you’ll have to create your own. Currently, there is not an official bar or organized fan group.
Indianapolis Colts

I’m shocked there isn’t a fan group or bar for the Colts. Seems like a great opportunity for someone to start one!
Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville is just a 5-hour drive from Charlotte. But there must not be too many Jags fans here. With Clemson star Trevor Lawrence at the helm for the Jaguars there has to be a sizable fan base in the Charlotte area. But as of now, no official Jacksonville Jaguars bar.
Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs fans can cheer on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs at the Kilted Buffalo. The Charlotte Chiefs Fans group takes over this Plaza Midwood spot weekly.
Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders have bounced around from market to market throughout their history. The fans that have stuck with them and made their way to Charlotte spend gamedays at Club House Kitchen & Cocktails on Central Ave.
Los Angeles Chargers

Unfortunately there isn’t a Chargers bar for fans (if there are any) in Charlotte. After leaving San Diego for LA I don’t think there are too many in California either!
Los Angeles Rams

Relocated LA football teams must not have much of a fanbase in the Carolinas. The Rams fans are also without a gameday home in Charlotte.
Miami Dolphins

Phins up! Cheering on the Dolphins in Charlotte? You’ll have to be at Midnight Mulligan Brewing with the rest of the Charlotte Dolfans Club.
Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings are the only NFC North team without a Charlotte place to call home. There have to be fans who have escaped the Minnesota winters somewhere though!
New England Patriots

New Englanders you’ll have to go a little south of Charlotte to Fort Mill to cheer on your team. You’ll find the home of the Patriots at Mulligan’s Sports Bar & Grille.
New Orleans Saints

Charlotte has seemingly unanimously avoided welcoming fans of any other NFC South Team. It must not be worth the boycott from Panthers fans that could be placed on any establishment supporting a rival team. There is a Facebook group of brave Saints fans in the Queen City however called New Orleans Saints Fans of Charlotte.
New York Giants

There is no shortage of Giants fans in the Carolinas. Especially with former Duke QB Daniel Jones at the helm of the team. The Local in uptown Charlotte is where the local Giants Fans congregate on gameday.
New York Jets

If there are Giants fans there are Jets fans. If the other NY team is the one you fancy, hang out with like-minded fellow fans at Dillworth Neighborhood Grille.
Philadelphia Eagles

Steamers Sports Pub on Pierson Dr is the Charlotte home of the Eagles. Rise up, is another Super Bowl run in the works?
Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers fans you’ll have to share you’re bar with the Jets. Dilworth Neighborhood Grille hosts both fan groups weekly.
San Francisco 49ers

Niner Empire of Charlotte is the 49ers fan group locally. RSVP Southend is where the game watch parties take place.
Seattle Seahawks

I was a 10-year Seahawks fan thanks to Russel Wilson and it was a fun time! Lucky Lou’s Tavern on Park Road is where the 12th Man hangs out in Charlotte!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Sorry Bucs fans, rivalries don’t let you have a welcome spot in the Carolinas. At least you get to see your team play here once a year.
Tennessee Titans

I’m shocked that there isn’t a Titans bar in Charlotte. But luckily Nashville is just a short flight from Charlotte to get your football fix.
Washington Commanders

Last but not least is the team a lot of North Carolinians cheered for prior to the Panthers. If you want to cheer on the Commanders and former Panthers coach Ron Rivera you can do so at Jack Beagles on Morehead.
