Panthers owner David Tepper said last year the 55 acres on which the Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company operated just down the street from Bank of America Stadium might be a good spot for a new domed stadium in his 10-year plan. That land will now be available as the company, according to the Charlotte Observer, announced it was moving to Stanly County

Regarding the time frame...

Pipe and Foundry said it intends to build a facility in Oakboro, begin operations in early 2024 and invest at least $325 million in it. Oakboro is about 45 minutes east of uptown.

Pipe and Foundry plant relocation opens up land for possible new Panthers stadium

It's not so much about when they'll be up and running in their new location as it is when the old site will be ready for the Panthers to start building.

For context, AT&T stadium in Dallas took about four years to build.

Bro. How lazy are you?

I mean Im working on perfecting sloth to the point that I can start a competitive league of couch sitting.

That said...

I more meant it wasn't a distance that you'd want the guys to walk after practice.

So BOA will Be the soccer complex and the new site will be the new football stadium.  Be interesting to see what Tepper plans for the sports complex areas.  Suck he will screw the PSL owners. 

I was under the impression that it would be a shared facility.

    • this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.  
    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
