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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
