The Panthers - via prez Michael Yormark - have let slip that tarps will be utilized to cover certain upper bowl seating areas of the BAC during most (read: non-premium) games for the 2010-11 season, and presumably will continue until demand rises for these typically under-used swaths.

We'll get into our thoughts on the particulars of this deal when the official announcement is made on Thursday (and On Frozen Pond can get you up to speed in the meantime), but just to gauge initial fan reaction, a simple poll will suffice for the moment. Your comments welcome as always.
