Carolina Panthers owner visiting SC leaders to discuss new headquarters, practice complex

Team owner David Tepper is scheduled to visit with Gov. Henry McMaster and state legislative leaders next week about moving the team’s headquarters and practice facilities to York County, The Post and Courier has learned.  

The Panthers could join a growing number of Charlotte-area companies that have hopped over the North Carolina line in recent years to take advantage of South Carolina’s lower taxes and economic incentives.

The team started eyeing the Palmetto State last year to build a complex similar to a $1.5 billion development opened by the Dallas Cowboys that includes outdoor and indoor fields, team headquarters and a museum, called The Star. 

Tepper has not hidden his desire to build new practice facilities after buying the Panthers from Jerry Richardson last year for a league-record $2.2 billion. The team practices near Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, but the facilities lack the state-of-the-art amenities of its NFL rivals.

Exciting stuff. There are no joke, HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAMS with better practice facilities than the Panthers. This is long overdue and will improve play on the field

I think it would be hard to take an upcoming professional NFL game seriously after just practicing in a hotel lobby room =\

The Colquitt County Packers in Moultrie, GA have an indoor practice facility, you can read about it here:

Amazing how Jerry Richardson never caught any flak over this.

The Knights moved to Charlotte because no one went to games way TF out in Rock Hill. Just like people stopped going to Hornets games at the 'Hive.' The land is definitely cheaper, and I'm sure the city would bend over backwards for any zoning changes he wanted, it just seems so disconnected. I wonder how many other practice facilities in the NFL are that far away from their stadiums.

Cowboys practice site is 37 miles from Jerry World

The new Raiders joints will be about 15 miles away from each other

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
