A practice facility in South Carolina?

[GRWatcher]

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.

That doesn't solve the parking question, though.

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.

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.
