One step closer....

 

The manufacturer is asking the city of Charlotte to rezone its 55-acre site to an “uptown mixed-use district.”

That zoning would allow for a range of uses, including retail, hotels, restaurants and stadiums. The site is one of the largest pieces of land available for development in and around uptown Charlotte.

I like where it’s at right now. We don’t need a new stadium. Building a stadium won’t help Teddy Bridgwater become Cam Newton 2015.

This location is directly across the street from the current stadium.

Pipe and Foundry is already committed to moving from that site. 

They’re just getting things ready to sell to Tep.

Will it be a stadium near me with Teddy Bridgwater playing QB or with a young true franchise QB? That’s the real question. I like your username. Pretty awesome.

You will have to tune in next season to find out.  Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!

The families who own that land have a lot of snouts in the trough. 

Highest and best use of that land is to retain it, develop it, and collect the MASSIVE income stream it produces for the next 50+ years...feeds a lot of snouts.

Put another way, discounting those cash-flows back to a present-value would yield a number so large that even Tepper would balk.

If the families had any intent to flip the property to Tepper they'd have done so straight-away and let him deal with any zoning issues, etc...

...and if a new stadium is ever built within the Charlotte city limits it will probably be within the footprint of the existing facility.

I hate to tell you this but it's not up to us where it's built but make no mistake one is coming.  But will it be at a site near you?  Stay tuned for more after this commercial.

Dont know if y'all know anything about land or acreage, but 55 acres is about the size of a Food Lion and parking lot. A big Food Lion, but still, a small office park.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
