So if the Panthers move, you will no longer be a fan

That’s a very good point.

I am just curious, so if the winds change and the Panthers move what will you do?  You will give up being a fan or stick with them?

Would be nice if they were publicly owned like the Packers franchise

The biggest reason for me, is because the majority of NFL teams have financial backing from their respected locations. The Panthers were privately funded until the stadium upgrades. Which gives the team a tether for a couple of years to the city of Charlotte. However, BOA is one of the oldest stadiums in the league now, and a new owner will probably want a new stadium within 5 to 10 years. Who will pay for it? <---The next city that wants a NFL team. That is how the Panthers will move, all Politics! If Charlotte doesn't pay, someone else will. <---This is my fear.

 

they are not moving so quit being dumb.

First off they're not moving

Second they're not moving

Third they're not moving

San Antonio wants a team, it is still within the South footprint, and Cuban wants an NFL team.

Why does everyone all of the sudden think, change in ownership means relocation of team? The two have nothing to do with each other

Everyone doesn't, but the idiots, trolls and drama queens do.

You guys need to be real. Any new owner can do what they want, especially if the city of Charlotte and/or the State of North and South Carolina do not cave into their potential demands. The NFL will never have the Super Bowl in Charlotte, but if a new Dome stadium is built they may. This alone would entice a new owner to build a new stadium. Folks this will happen, regardless of who buys the team. Carolina will have to have a new stadium and it will probably happen in the next 10 years. That's when we need to panic, until then the team stays. Not being dumb, or overly dramatic, I am being rational and logic.

Logic is not allow here, sir.

Where would they even want to move that would be an upgrade over Charlotte?

[Peppers90 NC]

it would make giving up the NFL much easier

[Captroop]

Haven't lived in NC since the 90s, so it makes no never mind to me where the Panthers reside. I just don't want them to move to the West Coast, and have all the Panthers games played at 4pm.

[L-TownCat]

Not concerned that they leave at all.

 

but if they did?  They’d be dead to me along with the NFL.

The city of Charlotte will completely bend over to keep the Panthers here. They lost one team once, they won't do it again. That's why the powers that be have no interest in a Major League ballpark or MLS stadium. They know what's coming.
