A practice facility in South Carolina?

And why would they want a daily practice facility in a place where it can take an hour+ drive to get to, is away from the strength, training, and rehab center and is not close to the offices. Makes no sense at all, logistically or fiscally. I hope Tepper is more Robert Kraft smart than Jerry Jones. The New England Patriots' facilities are at Gillette Stadium even though their fan support comes from at least 6 states.

More events at BoA stadium is a great idea but that will probably lead to losing the grass playing surface.

That assumes BOA is gonna remain the center of the Panther Universe.

I wouldn't assume that.

It is a lousy generator because it is not rented out in off season, or when we are not playing home games. Raymond James stadium has tons of events at its stadium. Monster Trucks, Tournaments, Soccer, Concerts, etc etc. We need to make BOA multi purpose.

Exactly. Anyone that knows anything about the Panthers knows that Jerruh 'Jeans Day' Richardson was the one that mandated that it be used for only football and a select few other events. If they opened it up to broader use, the revenue would come.

if you're the owner of a two state team you'd be dump not to enage one state in some manner. its smart business. 

Even if its not an entire practice facility some kind of engagement would be good business.

Training camp.

Historically, placing any kind of people or settlements or buildings in South Carolina has always proven a mistake. Excepting Charleston and the Low Country, South Carolina is for people who couldn't hack it in North Carolina and, mostly, always has been. (Charleston and the Low Country are for people who got sad when they heard you couldn't own slaves anymore but realized they could just play dress-up.) You build a practice facility there when you lose hope of winning a Super Bowl. 

It makes sense to try to court the other Carolina, since at present no one there cares about the Panthers.* But it doesn't make sense to over-extend.

 

 

* I am fully ready for some redfaced goatee puffalump from Rock Hill to start hollering himself sore about how SAW CARALINNY LUV DA PANTHURS - hell, I've read over a hundred Mr. Scot posts and counting - but I cannot ignore a lifetime of experience.

      Official Carolina Huddle Super Bowl LX Thread

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
