I chuckle at the football purist rage posts about having to play in the elements or it isn't real football. We're in North Carolina dude. Calm down.

there are a lot of football purists who say expansion teams aren't real football, so people need to calm themselves down with that sorta dumb stuff

From what I understood, the reason Charlotte hasn't hosted a Super Bowl is bc the local transportation system was lacking when compared to other cities. Something that has been in the works to get better.

Serious question: do you actually attend games? 

I would probably stop attending games if they built a dome. 

The thought of Charlotte taxpayers spending two billion on a stadium with the hopes of hosting one Super Bowl ever is ludicrous. Especially when BOA is still an incredible open air stadium. I go to many games at home and on the road. The thinking that a dome is needed is beyond awful. 

Question did you attend games in Clemson? Has your family owned PSLs since the Panthers were born? Does your family name reside on the Panthers outside the stadium? 

I'm guessing not and it's why you think a dome is a bad idea.

This entire you need a Dome to have a Super Bowl is a myth. Charlotte's problem is infrastructure and not having enough hotels close enough to the stadium and transportation. We don't have enough to host 100k people.

I don't want a dome...

If the new owner is going to bend the city over, maybe the city should just buy the team and save some money.

It's not the dome, it's the hotel space... and our parking is poo

Think some people are going to have to realize “Dome” stadiums are the new craze now. It’s all about the money and Domes bring in more bank. That’s just how the real world works. So it’s a matter of when not if.

Domes represent massive debt and there are warning signs the NFL is on the decline. Its risky business

If they want to build a dome, then go for it. It would be cool to host a super bowl.

The dome thing isn't a big deal to me cuz it's only hot for the first month and then it's pretty nice at games. So I'm good either way

While we all appreciate that sabates has Charlotte ties, I say he is doing a lot of posturing publicly to get what he personally wants

I already hate the guy, literally.  I was ambivalent or even maybe liked what I knew of the guy a month ago.  His statements are so out of touch with reality it’s mind numbing.

Understatement.  The signs, lights, and horns abound at every angle.

The new owner would also need to bring MLS and MLB to also play in said dome to keep the legions of public outrage from overflowing in these hypothetical scenarios.  Not gonna happen.
