Will Tepper Move Training Camp?

[BudFox]

Sabates is chomping at the bit to build an indoor facility and charge for parking.  Cause you need it to bring it big events like Shrine Bowl practice...

You clearly haven't spent much time among app states student body if you feel this way. Regardless, how you feel about the supposed culture of app state students, training camp is held during the summer. The student population would be pretty limited.

Maybe I haven't... just know the 20 or so I saw at Panera Bread at the mall acted this way. I am not saying all of them are this way. I also know that field that App State uses, not much parking around, and is congested. I would say it would be great to use the field in the winter, while preparing for colder climate teams.

Moving TC away from Spartanburg should be one of the first things Tepper does. It’s a no brainer. Aside from distancing the team from the “college” Old Man Richardson attended, That community offers very little and it’s a big inconvenience for the real panthers fans of Charlotte to drive down there and have to deal with inferior facilities and infrastructure from the 1970s in one of the most ass backward states in the country. The idea of “fine dining” in Spartanburg is a 24 hour Waffle House  

I think Boone would be a good choice as a replacement. Pretty much anywhere in NC is a better option than South Carolina.

I really would like to see it in Charleston. That would give fans there a chance to meet the players. 

Other option would be ECU or Wilmington. 

 

The one place it might be held is the Greenbrier in West Virginia.  They have a training facility there used in the past by the Saints and texans/Patriots. Could expand the Panthers foot print and there are Panthers fans there too.

What about Winthrop University?

I'd love it, but that's a school that doesn't have a football team.  They have a sports field, though.

Cribbs Kitchen, City Range, Renato's and Brickhouse get good reviews..

App st they wouldn't be climatized for the early football season. 

I'd love to see it at App, but this is probably a very big deal. A little bit of altitude training wouldn't be bad, though. Even just a bit.

Charleston - The Citadel (lowcountry)

Myrtle Beach - Coastal Carolina (grandstand)

Spartanburg/Greenville - Wofford/Furman (upstate) 

Orangeburg - South Carolina State (midlands)

Why not........App elevation  3500 feet............

Wofford has 4 football fields that the Panthers use.  The 3 practice fields that the Panthers have used since day 1 were built specifically for training camp.  Then there is Gibbs Stadium that has been used for the Kick-off party and other times during TC.

As a proud native of South Carolina, proud native and resident of Spartanburg, die-hard Panthers fan since day 1, and PSL owner since 2005,  this gave me a good, much needed laugh this morning.  Real Panthers fans drive from SC to Charlotte every game day!
