Per the original agreement with the Panthers, permanent seat licenses are tied to the uptown stadium, not to the team. “Licensee has the right and obligation to purchase the related season tickets for all home games ... for the franchise for as long as the team plays in the Stadium,” the original agreement reads.

That means that if the Panthers leave Charlotte, PSLs would expire, according to Max Muhleman, a Charlotte sports consultant who helped create the PSL concept that funded Bank of America Stadium. Today, PSL holders own about 62,000 seats, making up almost 90 percent of Bank of America Stadium.

This PSL owner (and countless others) would go from a Panthers fanatic, spending untold $$$ on tickets, merchandise, food, etc. to a fan of any team playing the Panthers, while finding something else to do with my time and money.

There is no other market for them to go, I’m also referring mostly to the new stadium talk NONSENSE.

Any talk about a new stadium is simply something for reporters to talk about and then for leverage by any new potential owners for other things they want.  Because there is NO need for a new stadium.  Despite it's age, Panthers stadium was built in the more modern era way and that is it has the money generating suites and club seats (which there are a lot and the biggest main reason owners want a new place.)  The club section even has their own very nice inside concession and lounge area.  

Finally, overall the stadium still has a nice look, in a great location, and plenty of room inside to add other money making amenities a new owners would want.  

Again, any talk about a new stadium is simply that .. something to write about and eventually leverage for new owners to get other things they want.

Only if it was an outdoor stadium up in the Yukon or Northwest territory

The issue will also be, new domed stadium will cost more money even if it is reachable from Charlotte 

i pay enough now and will be done with another large price increase so all the people who complain about PSL owners, step on up and buy tickets

Can kiss those home sellouts good bye too that enable those home games to be broadcast 

in essence, even if I wanted to sell the license now, can't do it

meh, I've already mentally prepared myself for this.  At some point the Panthers will get a new stadium and the only value my PSL's will have is to entitle me to be the first in line to buy new PSL's.

The odds of the team moving are about as close to zilch as you can get. The owners are greedy old pricks, they aren't going to move a proven commodity in a profitable market unless there is something a hell of a lot more profitable on the horizon. Right now that doesn't exist.

As for the PSL's, I'm going to be brutally honest, it's hard to have much sympathy, you all should have seen this coming from ol' mister jerry. He's always been about lining his pockets.

Also, @BigCat  Someone was telling me that in the lower sections (where I am not) your PSL's are only a 5 year lease and have to be repurchased every five years.  Is that true?

Serious question, would it be hard to upgrade BOA to add a retractable roof?
