Ol' Mick Mixon might've spilled the beans...

"...sources told Channel 9 the team is looking to build a new indoor practice facility in Fort Mill or Rock Hill and could buy the land as early next year.
Business offices would then move from Bank of America Stadium to South Carolina."

Meh, I doubt it'll change too much. If Dave is this far into it, there's probably been some level of agreement whether there are signed contracts or not

Fair point.

Still, I can't see Tepper as the type of guy who likes his employees spilling the beans.

He touched on it -- not sure if you've seen it -- in Pittsburgh. He said "I would be very surprised if we weren't practicing indoors within a year" with the specific understanding that that's happening in SC. Still I didn't know we'd then be based in Fort Mill

Where else in SC would they put it? Ft Mill is basically Charlotte South.

LOL at anyone that doesn't realize that this was a planned spilling of the beans.

I can see Rock Hill pushing hard for this, they are and have been developing the hell out of the eastern side of town by the river.

Can they finally say they didn't practice due to weather?

It's truly insane a team that was founded 25 years ago, a PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM, doesn't have an indoor practice facility. For god sakes, some HIGH SCHOOL teams have indoor practice facilities.

dear god i can't imagine how terrible Fort Mill's traffic is going to be furthermore if we get a practice facility near us. It's already atrocious with Kingsley.

Love the Panthers, but traffic has been an absolute nightmare lately. Hopefully it's built at the old Knights stadium location (most logical place imo) so it wouldn't be as huge of a nightmare, but still. Very much will say Fort Mill's quite congested as it is with all the development happening lately.
