Does training camp stay at Wofford after the sale?

The specific area we're talking about is not a huge distance from uptown though.

But here's the thing. Part of the reason why teams go to places like that is for lower operating costs, something that can make a significant difference in cash flow over time.

As mentioned elsewhere, the Cowboys aren't in Dallas. The Giants and Jets aren't in New York. The 49ers aren't in San Francisco. So we're not talking about an unprecedented situation here.

We get it. You want the team in SC. The odds of this happening are slim to none.

Actually, you don't get it at all.

I don't care where the stadium goes. Heck, I don't care where the training camp goes. I'm just talking about what's possible. Though even I've said that I don't think it'll actually happen.

One of the mistakes you have a tendency to  make is assuming that someone talking about something that could happen means they believe it should.

That's not always the case, and it's not the case right now.

For something you don't actually think is going to happen, you're sure going out of your way to keep the subject relevant.

Sure it's in the vague realm of possibility on a basic level, but if they build a new stadium, there's realistically less than a 10% chance it will be in South Carolina.

I could also give you any number of arguments why the Saints will win the Super Bowl this year. Doesn't mean it's something that I want to happen.

It's a discussion I find interesting. How it ultimately plays out will neither excite nor upset me.

Everybody doesn't have to be emotionally invested in every discussion.

Probably not feasible, but it would be cool if they could rotate TC throughout different areas in the Carolinas (Asheville, Triad, Triangle, Greenville, NC, Columbia, Charleston, Greenville/Spartanburg, SC). I would think all these areas would have collegiate level facilities they could use.

Would give fans throughout the Carolinas a chance to see the team and would allow fans to take road trips and fuel tourism.

The only place the Panthers training camp will move to besides Wofford, will be to Charlotte. Any other speculation isn't based in reality. Teams are not doing training camps outside of their home town anymore except for a few. The logistics alone make it difficult.

One thing I don't like about having it locally is that it doesn't have the "boot camp" atmosphere that you get when everyone's away from home.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
