Meanwhile, we're buying a golf course

No, really...

Panthers to purchase Rock Hill golf course

Carolina Panthers vice president and COO Mark Hart confirmed what’s been rumored for months in York County land development circles, that the NFL team has a plan to purchase Waterford Golf Club.

“We’d like to acquire that as part of our development project in Rock Hill, and see if we can’t make that an even greater community amenity,” Hart said.

...

Waterford isn’t far from the 235-acre Hutchison family site where the Panthers plan to open team headquarters and training facilities by mid-2022. Waterford itself is 205 acres, valued according to county records at more than $4 million.

Plans are to continue using Waterford as a golf course.

I could be wrong, but I bet this is all about Tepper being able to leverage Charlotte for a new stadium. Now he has a big chunk of land already in his ownership that would make a perfect stadium location super convenient to the new team headquarters.

Never seen the course, but judging by the pics I'm seeing online it pretty much looks like a duffer/hacker course in mediocre at best shape. 

What I'm seeing is a big chunk of land with great access off of I-77 right on the Catawba River. This is a stadium site.

I'm gonna guess it's for schmoozing, i.e. buttering up people Tepper wants to invest in... something.

LG could be right though...

Yea, don't think so.

This is for hardballing, and just owning a large chunk of land near a metro in a growing state.

Golf courses typically lose money, it's a good way to buy large chunks of land if you are a buy and hold kinda guy.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
