Will the Super Bowl ever be played in BOA?

So today I had a nice conversation with a former employee of the Carolina Panthers and we were talking stadium upgrades. My thoughts were the upgrades were a step in the right direction for the Panthers and the city of Charlotte hosting a future Super Bowl. He believes that Charlotte will never host a Super Bowl because it doesn't have enough hotel rooms to accommodate the big game. That's an interesting dynamic that I never considered. He brought up Jacksonville having to bring in cruise ships to act as floating hotel rooms, an option that wouldn't be possible in Charlotte.

Your thoughts? Will the Panthers ever get to host to the Super Bowl?

It can, probably within the next 15 years.

 

I live in Arlington, and when the Cowboys hosted, there wasn't thought to be nearly enough hotels available but, surprise, there were.

 

And Charlotte is bigger than Arlington. Much more hotel space just downtown alone in Charlotte.

I hope not.  As an NC resident it would just be awful for the economy.

 

And, of course, most of you will call me out and ask if I would like to have it in Buffalo.  Of course, I would.  Because you'd hear nothing but media folks bitching and complaining about how cold and dark it is with so little around.  Than it would be cold as hell and lots of snow for the game.  It'd just be a great thing to see.  Especially because I do not ever imagine the Bills ever making the playoffs again.

    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.  
    • They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.
    • Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
