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.

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
