Tepper committed to CLT; "at least one finalist had eyes on stadium in SC"

[UNCrules2187]

Per @RapSheet

Assuming that'd be Navarro in which case glad he didn't get the team.

Ugh.  South Carolina.  

I would love to hear the proposed locations in SC.  The only one that would make sense would be Fort Mill.

[Sam Mills Fan]

This goes out to the 90% of you that were praying for Navarro:

That would have sucked balls for sure.

Navarro wanted to keep BOA.

LaCanfora reported that one of the reasons Tepper placed a lower bid was that he didn't like the stadium.

If there's a discrepancy in reporting between Rapoport and La Canfora, go with Rapoport every time.

No argument on that.

CLT has a great game day atmosphere.  We should play some games in SC every now and then. But the team belongs in CLT.

If Charlotte lost the Panthers that would be a huge blow

Guess what I mean is: you can pretty much throw out what La Canfora said about which guy wanted which improvements to the stadium. If Tepper doesn't want the stadium in SC, that leaves us with Navarro, Kestenbaum, or Rubin. Which of those makes the most sense to you? Keep in mind that Kestenbaum and Rubin seem to have faded away weeks ago.

South Carolina sucks ! Only thing they got going for them is myrtle beach , I like myrtle beach , other then that North Carolina is the better state in general . I like our location 

I doubt a SC move meant something like Charleston or Columbia. Probably more like Fort Mill or Indian Land. Still, that would have sucked so hard compared to having one in Charlotte.

[Cary Kollins]

Any potential move to SC probably would have been right on the border across from Charlotte.

I am guessing Florence.  They have a booming paper mill there and  their Motel 6 is quite nice.  Seriously, there is nowhere in SC that makes sense.  I did like the idea of a stadium on the line--if ever a new stadium situation comes up as before, they would have to actually pay something for it.

sounds like he had his eye on South of the Border
