The roof would be retractable lol. So it could be left open.

The Panthers play better in the rain. It’s simply a fact. 

To put it more accurately Tepper wants a superb owl. Stadium redesign would get him one. Doesn’t mean we need a dome or sphincter. It’s NC let the elements in.

Don't do it city council.

 

That said, nah...I'm good.  I'll take open air like it should be played.

Tepper is clearly trying to take the Panthers, Charlotte and Upstate SC to a new level.  A new stadium with retractable roof will bring a Super Bowl to Charlotte eventually.  As pointed out earlier the roof can always be left open but would be a prerequisite for a SB bid.

Yes, I too like to watch the game played in the elements.  But if Tepper needs fan support for this I am lining up on his side every day of the week.

Don't do it was aimed at the gov officials.

I prefer not to A.  Move the stadium.  B. Build a new stadium when BOA is in great shape.  C.  Give taxpayer money to a sports team with one of the wealthiest owners in all of sports.

Because of those reasons, and I personally think that if they can stand it in Green Bay, we can stand it in CLT, I'm good with standing pat.

Totally agree on stadium location.  No clue but I wonder how long it takes to build new state of the art retractable stadium?  Where could the Panthers play if they demolished BOA and used the footprint of the BOA and practice field for a new stadium?   Would it be possible to limit that to just one season abroad?

In regards to giving taxpayer money to a wealthy owner, it is not Tepper's fault he is wealthy.  A new stadium would economically benefit the entire region.  The key is finding the right balance of public/private funding.

Also wonder how Tepper and the Panthers would handle the PSL question(s).

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
