His vision is complete development of that area.  It’s going to be a Tepper Town of fun poo to do. MLS is just a part of getting people to that area. Of course they want the franchise to make money but it’s expected to lose for a while. But he’s going to ultimately benefit from the parking, retail, bars/restaurants, and everything else that will eventually be developed 

When you say 'that area' are you referring to Mint Street or the site of Eastland Mall?

Is it just the headquarters being suggested at the old Eastland site or a new stadium too?  Just putting the headquarters there is meaningless, but putting the stadium there would be huge since that area is very diverse.  It would show he's catering to the real soccer fans in Charlotte.

Anything that will provide an infusion of development over there will be a good thing. They're putting the HQ and the practice facility there. If you think it's meaningless, then you should probably go warn the people in Fort Mill.

To my knowledge the Fort Mill site is undeveloped and will be like working with clay.  The Eastland site is old, run down, and just putting some offices and practice facilities there will not greatly change the landscape of surrounding area.

Sounds like you're not familiar with either site, otherwise you wouldn't be making such uninformed statements.

Unless the Eastland area has done a 180 degree turn around in the last year, then I am familiar with it.  Furthermore, I'm in town this weekend and will passing right through there.  I'll let you know.

As for the Fort Mill site, I don't know much about that area any more, and quite honestly thought you were comparing it to the Panthers new practice facilities being built in Rock Hill.

Wait, you don't even live here?

Rock Hill/Fort Mill is all the same to me, but I do know the area where the facility is going. That area will absolutely benefit from that development. 

The Eastland Mall site is like a bomb crater, so in my opinion, ripe for redevelopment. It's a few minutes' drive from Plaza Midwood and downtown. It's got entrances off of Sharon Amity, Albemarle and Central. Putting in a practice complex, the kind that Tepper is talking about, will be huge for that area, and only one piece of a larger development.

Not anymore, but I still have a good amount of connections and am in town several times a year to visit.  Very familiar with the area around Eastland actually, although it's been over a year since I've actually driven past the site itself.

I'm just not seeing it changing the area all that much.  Obviously the site itself being re-developed is a huge win, but all the entrances you mentioned (and I am very familiar with)  stay largely unchanged, IMO.  Hotels and fancy restaurants are not going to suddenly pop up because of practices fields and offices.  If Tepper actually built the MLS stadium there, then, yes, I could see the greater Eastland 'community' being transformed.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
