Could Raleigh eventually host a Franchise?


Recommended Posts

Why Nope? Who says relocation with promise of a new stadium there isn't possible? They are the Carolina Panthers, not the Charlotte Panthers. The Hurricanes will probably move in the near future due to the lack of trying to get a legitimate team together.

No.

 

Raleigh is a college sports/NHL kind of town. Eventually it could be a college sports/MLS. It is NOT an NFL or Major League Baseball kind of town. If you don't see that, you're a homer and can't admit it.

 

Metrolina is only continuing to boom. The money is there, the market is there, the Panthers are there. Raleigh will never, let me say that again, Raleigh will never get the Panthers.

 

They can't even fill their NHL games, let alone a 75,000 pro stadium. The "Caniacs" haven't supported the team since the Stanley Cup years over a decade ago. I know they suck , but it's bad, they continue to have games with under-10,000 in attendance. Why would any smart businessman move the CAROLINA Panthers farther from South Carolina and out of the most populated city, largest TV market and economy in The Carolinas?!

 

Plain and simple; moving the Panthers to Raleigh is a pipe dream for Raleigh homers and that's it.

    • All this hysteria over arthritis.  That might be the most huddle thing ever.
    • Man, it's almost like there is some major systemic problems in our communities making crime, violence and drugs a viable alternative to whatever else. I've lived in Charlotte since 1985.  I've been going downtown pretty readily for the past 20 years.  I will agree, there is a lot more to worry about.  It has gotten worse as the services and social safety has been cut and undermined. There is also a major problem in our homes and families.  Kids don't just decide to jump into gangs and drugs.  They do that when there are no opportunities or hope.  That's not a political statement, but it's straight from the Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby Payne. 
    • Roll it over and continue to build smart. If we're lucky, we're competing for a playoff spot this year. Don't spend on leftovers just to "hope" you get lucky.  Keep being smart, acquire assets, let the young guys play, and hope we're on the "in the hunt" graphic late into this season...that's the real goal.  If all goes well, (and Bryce shows he's legit), you can be more all-in next year. Seems like that's been the plan, which he finally have, and we're sticking to it.
