South Carolina and Rock Hill having issues paying for the Panthers new HQ

According to Hart, $225 million worth of bonds were supposed to have been issued by the city no later than October 31, 2020. After discussions with the developer of the project, this deadline was later extended to February 26, 2021. This borrowing was supposed to have been repaid with an increase in property taxes on local residents – and Rock Hill agreed to forego 100 percent of its tax revenue until the debt was paid off.

Did Rock Hill meet the second deadline? No …

“To date, the bonds have not yet been issued,” the letter stated.

Yikes - Rock Hill.


“According to my sources, Rock Hill is “over-leveraged” and simply unable to issue this debt – at least not without having to settle for junk bond rates. In fact, even after the total obligation for the project was reportedly cut nearly in half – to $135 million – the city still couldn’t get the financing for the bonds at a competitive rate.”


Sounds like the state or county will have to step in to make good on their end of the deal.

Why agree to this if you’re already up to your neck in debt?

I know...stupid question.

he could but he wont because there is no precedent for it, the tax payers have always footed the bill and owners are going to continue to expect it

Your statement is categorically false.  

The new Jets/Giants stadium was built with 100% private funding.

I seriously say they should have broke ground in Fort Mill not Rock hill. Nothing but a college and crack smoking going on at the Rock.

Amen.  I was surprised they did it in Rock Hill instead of booming Fort Mill.  Fort Mill got their poo together.

Does Tepper actually pay for anything himself? I heard, when he was interviewing FO staff for the Panthers, he made the interviewee pay the tab. I'm seriously not a fan of this guy. The community should own the team like GB.

(I know lots of teams tax their home cities for the stadiums. Doesn't make it right.)

If you could see the eyes rolling out of my head. You just used an example of two seperate billionaires splitting the bill in the biggest per capita market on Earth.

How do you think people become billionaires?

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
