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

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
