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.

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).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
