Isn't the limitations of the stadium also one of the knocks the NFL has against hosting a Superbowl in Charlotte?

The limitation on the stadium hosting a Superbowl is no dome, and Charlotte is in an area where in Jan it can be cold, etc.  So unless the NFL does another ok with outside during cold game like the one year it was in Giants Stadium then having no dome is the biggest limitation.  Then from there is not enough hotel space, which over time can be solved.  Overall... I do not want a new stadium.

Here is a cold hard truth I will say as a PSL owner:  Expect the new stadium to be at least 50% funded by NEW PSLS and even heavier on the club psls (think lower level clubs and even an upper deck club on the 50s).  If the new round of PSLS is in say 10 years that will be a 35 year psl run.  Not shabby.  Throw PSL owners a 15% off for "re upping" and this will pay for a large portion of the new stadium.  Have Tepper throw in 20% and the city 20% and it shouldn't be hard to finance.  

And if you think the majority of PSL owners would go along with that you are crazy. I can tell you I surely won't with my 3 PSLs. Especially if they do like the Jets/Giants and charge double what we paid initially for PSLs and increase ticket prices by 50% to pay for a new stadium that will cost a billion or more  to build.

Because he was a big meanie.

It was reported that his abrasive attitude when it came to football discussions rubbed people the wrong way, especially Jerry Richardson. Early on, Richardson had the same conflict with Bill Polian.

From what I've read, Tepper makes those guys look like teddy bears.

Good. fug 'em.

I think the challenge in this scenario and I am also curious to the ratio of PSLs owned by people vs ticket brokers.  Bottom line, is even now during even good seasons on games days there are a lot of empty seats or which many of those who attend are opposing teams fans....... SO, I am not so sure about how many of the current PSL owners who are already not using nor selling their tickets on game days will be so willing to fork over a bunch of money for new PSLs; then from that, there is not a waiting list of people who want season tickets AND being there are so many empty seats on game days - if fans aren't buying single games tickets, do you think there are that many who will then be willing to buy a PSL??  Depending on the $$ I could very easily be in the category of not being able to do PSLs again and I know many in the same boat.  Especially at the location I have now. I don't think the market is really going to be there this time around to sell PSLs but I could easily be wrong. 

That being said, I still think the current stadium is great.  It has plenty of Suites, lots of Clubs seats and in a great location, etc. Also am curious to what kind of revenue generating amenities could be added.  Would love to see something done to stay in the current place.

Read what I just posted above.  I said something very similar.  The mindset there is a market for PSLs again here I think might be misguided.

I think the PSL's might have been one of the issues Tepper has with the stadium.  The owner is locked into the stadium just as much as the PSL owners. Can't build a new stadium in the area without pissing off the current PSL owners.  

 

So it is a issue Tepper will have to address once he takes over.  Still think he should buy them out for the original purchase price they where. Not everyone will get their money back if they bought second hand. But they would get something back.  Think the total from the original sale was around 560 million. Then give current owner first rights to season tickets or PSL's.  But I think the next stadium won't have PSL's.

You not caring about people you don't know. 

You can't figure that out? 

Pretty sure I can find enough to prove you're a bigot.

Part of the issue is if over half the PSLs were bought in 1994 and 1995 then if folks bought them and they were 30 at the time, they would be in their 50s now. So how many folks in their 50s and 60s want to outlay $10,000 for a PSL and pay 100 bucks on up  a game. If like I did, they have gifted them to a family member ( my son in my case) they might not have the money or desire to pay big bucks as my son, for example, has a growing family and other priorities.
