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. 

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.

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.

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.

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
