Panthers plan a Cowboys like facility

[Mr. Scot]

Turns out Tepper wants to go big here, way more than just practice fields and headquarters. He's looking for something similar to what the Cowboys built.

Panthers have big plans for complex

“There’s a misunderstanding that we are building a little practice facility,” Mark Hart, the Panthers’ vice president for development, told The State. “But our new headquarters is just a portion of the project we want to build. . . . (New Panthers’ owner David Tepper) is thinking big.”

I assumed he was thinking of building something like the Star in Frisco. It's a really nice place. Costed 1.5b dollars though and Frisco paid 300m for it to be built. It's 12k seat stadium and a lacrosse team plays in it. 

 

City payed for the Ford center stadium and parking..ext some restaurants and shopping plus cowboys fit gym and such also there.

He’s thinking more than just a practice facility... dude wants to make money off this thing.

I love the Panthers, and I think developments like this are great for business, but I wish our city leaders, and city leaders nationwide, would stop giving these teams such crazy concessions. 

[CPF4LIFE]

Of course he is thinking big, never thought it would be a little facility.

Arlington gets 5m from the cowboys each season plus what they pull in from additional events. They paid 300m on the 2.1b attached stadium. 

 

Then they turned around and did the same deal for the new Rangers stadium. 

 

Arlington don't care, it's all the city has.

That's my thinking as well, 15,000 seat soccer stadium, restaurants, shops, hotels, practice facility, gym, player dorm, indoor field, outdoor field and offices and meeting rooms for Panthers. More hotels across the street. 1.6-2b dollars for investment. Panthers value goes up same amount since they own it.

When I filled out the survey about MLS at BOA, this is exactly what I put as an alternative possibility. Look at what the Braves have done with the Battery. No need to make it just a sports venue, it should be it's own little city with shops, hotels, condos ect. Get use out of the area all year round.

I know people don’t like the Wofford/JR connections but camp has been great there for a long time and I don’t think it should be moved. Pretty clear that it will be but I’m not thrilled about it either.
