Forbes says the Panthers are now worth $2.3 billion and while there are many factors at play, consider this: The Panthers' lease on their stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, expires in two seasons. There have been no talks that the franchise could move, but it could lead to a new owner paying more if the city will help build a new facility.

 

While BoA is not a "fancy" as other new stadiums out there -- do we really want to build something new? Where would it go?

Is BoA really that far behind the times with regard to other money-making aspects of field-level club seats, etc? Do we need that poo?

If it could be done financially, I say yes. Personally, I'd like for the team to be moved to Durham or Raleigh....but i'm biased.

Hell fu(king NO!!!!!  The Saints are not only in a city battered to hell, but play in a cavernous, decrepit dump 3 decades older.  The Packers, Bears, Chiefs, Bills, Jaguars, and Dolphins all play in older if not much older stadiums.  The league is in decline and most people would be absolutely LIVID if those words come out of anyone’s that mouth that matters before 2030, at the expense of taxpayers.

I doubt there's a chance the stadium gets demolished.  They "city" has put $75 million or so into recent upgrades and tethered the team for a few more years.  

I just don't see a situation where the Panthers move.  Sure, an owner could want to to move, but there would have to be a very strong case that the league would have to approve.  The Panthers have been very profitable and a good league citizen.  Why move the team?  I'd love it if the board would just get off of it.  When it comes down to it, the city will cave.  The Panthers are too much of a draw and an asset.

I say NO need to rebuild a stadium.  While some might say the stadium is old in time frame, it was build with what many of the reasons owners want a new stadium and that is there are a plenty of suites and a lot of club seats.  The club seats also have a very nice area for concessions, etc.  There is also plenty of space still inside for someone to do things, add amenities, etc  I also think the outside is very nice, cool, etc, etc.  I do go to plenty of stadiums throughout the country and while Panthers Stadium is not a mega billion place like Dallas, Atlanta, or Min... it compares very nicely to many and most of the stadiums of other teams.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
