I believe the city council has all but finalized approval for 120 million towards boa soccer related renovations.

It’ll be “debated”, but it sounded done.

Tepper is going to let MLS strong arm Charlotte to get a new Panthers stadium too. I can smell it

I'm looking forward to this, but you're kidding yourself if you think this is anything other than Tepper wanting more leverage over the city/county/state for a new stadium. This is also why Garth Brooks and other big baby boomer acts are coming to BoA next year: he wants to say that the stadium is more than just a Panthers thing: it's for MLS and big concerts too. And that IS a smart strategy.

  • Downsize BOA to about 30-40k seats for soccer.
  • Or let them use BOA until the new Panther stadium is built in SC
  • People will pay 3x what a Panthers ticket would cost and fill the stadium to see Garth Brooks over the Panthers
  • It would cost a lot less than $120M to demolish BOA once Tepper builds the new stadium in SC

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
