Hockey or Football…or both?

The Panthers are trying to accommodate football fans.

The team announced today that it has arranged to tune televisions around BankAtlantic Center on Saturday night to the NFC divisional playoff game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints at 8 p.m. In fact, the team will keep the Patron Tequila Platinum Club and the Budweiser Terrace open with sets tuned to the football game until its conclusion.

Is that to prevent fans from skipping Saturday’s Panthers-Washington Capitals game at 7:30 p.m. at the arena in favor of a second round playoff game? This isn’t even the NCAA Tournament or the Super Bowl.

“We understand that many of our loyal Panthers fans are football fans as well,” Sunrise Sports & Entertainment Chief Operating Officer Michael Yormark said in a release. “Our goal is to provide them with the best of both worlds. If you come to the BankAtlantic Center on Saturday, you can watch the NFL playoffs in a festive atmosphere and not miss out as the Panthers take on Alexander Ovechkin and the Capitals.”
