So he would take $100-200M to take the upper deck of BoA to make it a soccer only stadium then build a new stadium for the Panthers with another $500M+ from the city/state elsewhere.

I did wonder why the hell he needed $100-200M to make BoA soccer compatible. This would make sense.

Saw something about old Eastland Mall site?

It’s actually amazing.  They thinking about establishing Barcelona FC academy here instead of Spain.  I think the new MLS team in Charlotte might be part of Barcelona development program and Barca have one of the best academies in the world.  Eastland mall would be a huge HQ with practice fields and likely a hotel.  It would change that area quite a bit.

Perfect area of town for something like that

I would love it. I live in East Charlotte and grew up going to Eastland Mall. The area needs a spark like this and with the gold line ending there is might be more reality than people think.

Agreed.  Loved Eastland Mall in my youth.  Passed through the area a few years back and it was pretty sad to see how badly things have declined since the 70s and 80s.  

I think it would be a mistake to move the Panthers from downtown and BOA.  However, it would be brilliant to redevelop the Eastland Mall area for a new MLS team if they can manage the traffic flow in and out of the area during games.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By CRA · Posted

      well, players dictating things only works if you have the right collection of players to dictate things.  and in all honesty, not sure if we can answer if we do or don't as fans given......there are no Thomas Davis types around that we know are actually about X and Y (based on years showing it).  Collective team is too new to us to know what these dudes are really about in terms of players carrying the burden of culture.

      Moore can be put in one of the vet spots on IR. No one will be checking for him at the start of the season. But I would be very perturbed if we tried to go all Gettlemagic and stash an obvious talent like Horn on practice squad like we did Butker. If we can get through this year, next year it will be obvious Moore and AT will be gone, starting namely with AT's contract.

      Culture change comes from the top down, not from drafting a 3 and no D guard. I doubt Lamelo is gonna take his cues from this 20yr old kid lol. If Brandon Miller couldn’t change the culture with how good he is and how much he hustles on both ends, Kon Knueppel sure as hell ain’t changing it. Ace Bailey by all accounts is also a great teammate and hard worker, btw, who was drafted by a team he supposedly didn’t want to go to yet he immediately bought in. And he’s got actual length and tools on both ends of the floor. I feel this pick is going to age like milk rather quickly.
