Still must be approved by Charlotte City Council and a team must be awarded, although widely believed inevitable due to no MLB team and few southeast teams.

Panthers related since Bruton and Marcus Smith had mentioned wanting a piece of the team at some point and are ponying up over $200 million for the entry fee and stadium for MLS.

This was way too rushed. How can you make an informed decision on such a large economic commitment and burden on tax payers in such a short period of time. Have there been studies on traffic and all that good stuff. As a tax payer I'm concerned. I'm not against it but due diligence is a must for me and my tax money.

can't they just pay for it primarily with PSL licenses like the Panthers did?

 

oh wait they would need people interested enough in soccer to pony up the cash never mind. It's another NASCAR Hall of Fame thing...oh Bruton Smith is involved, where all the fans of his other sport rail against government spending LOL

I would pony up some money for psls but I doubt he could sell 20,000 of them at roughly 3 grand each.   

That price isn't in line with the MLS Season fees. They range anywhere from $320 to $650. Between 17-20 games depending on playoffs etc.

That's what I'm saying. I just divided the 47 million by 20,000 (probably more seats than the stadium would hold) and it was like 2400

Blah blah blah.  MLS has a deadline, January 31.  That's it.  2-4 teams will be named because there will be at least 4 of the 10 cities with the sense and backing to get it done, rushed or not.  CLT had the backing (Smith), but not the sense.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      If it’s all the same to you guys, I’d like to use this thread for Tuesday nights game as well to keep this hate going. I have a feeling Tuesday vs the panthers is going to be violent in that arena.    @LinvilleGorgecan you please add “and Tuesday” to the game thread?  They play the Panthers again Tuesday. Thank you sir!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
