They best look long and hard at the financial viability of a move. Last heard, 23000 PSL owners head rights to about 64000 seats

as a PSL owner of 20 years, I am done paying another dime for PSLs then I already pay

I am not alone 

also they would do well to look at the geographic location of PSL owners. I will not travel further than I do now and I suspect others won’t 

I’m getting far too old to throw money away on the NFL

Unfortunately, you're kidding yourself if you think new ownership will give a rat's ass about current PSL owners if they can finagle public funding for a kew stadium.

And honestly, to hear the City Council talk, they just might.

I don’t they can get public funding. That ship has sailed and if  the politicians agree to it, vote them out and let the team leave 

I didn’t get psls expecting forever.  There is no such thing in pro sports

That's an easy thing to say if you don't own a business that gets a lot of additional revenue from the team (and I don't, but lots of people do).

The city gets a lot of benefits from the team's presence as well.

Parking isn't just about "parking".  It's also about revenue.

Oh, 100%... probably didn't convey that as well in the beginning. The additional income that they would receive from parking lots is something they are not getting in the current situation and the almighty dollar is always at the top of their priority list.

I meant that I feel like the $$ now, and especially moving forward has to have a decent amount of thought put in to the footprint it leaves behind. I feel like, from a fan standpoint that isn't concerned with money, that we are becoming more environmentally conscious with our decisions (some more than others) and that business have to account for this in the big picture. 

Maybe I'm still missing the angle....haha... oh well.  Big business is going to churn out revenue regardless.

Goodell has said the same thing about St. Louis, Los Angeles and San Diego.

 

Yes and no.  For those cities, it was more of a softer political statement to placate the masses even though pretty much everyone knew there was a very good chance those teams would be moving elsewhere.  In this case, the statements are a little more direct and are clearly designed to let any future owners know that the NFL absolutely wants the Panthers to stay here, and it would be difficult, if not impossible to get the requisite number of votes to move...let alone be approved at all as owners if they plan to try and move the team.  And Kraft's statements also lends credence to this point.

And regardless of whether or not they truly care if the team stays in Charlotte, the NFL doesn't want another relocation this soon after all the recent moves...especially since they have not really been working out as planned as of yet.  there's too much instability already, they will likely want things to settle down before going on another relocation trip.  After all, too much change isn't good for anybody.

This week, a source who declined to be identified because the bid is not public told the Observer the NASCAR drivers interested in joining the Sabates group include Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. The source also said Chip Ganassi, a team owner who is a business partner with Sabates, is also interested, as well as musician Kid Rock.

Sounds like a good team.

With the aside of Kid Rock.
