After all of the Panthers’ success this season, which has now culminated in the team’s ascension to the Super Bowl, sporting goods stores in the Triangle are struggling to keep team merchandise on the shelves. Dick’s Sporting Goods, which usually opens at 9 a.m., opened at 6 a.m. Monday at Triangle Town Center in anticipation of Panthers fans wanting to get their hands on new gear. “I don’t think you can ever have too much Panthers gear,” said Harrison Stickel, a Panthers fan. “When you’re supporting your team you need to go all out.”
