People went to Detroit and Indianapolis. They will go anywhere 

Grudgingly...

The one I went to was in Tampa and I was thrilled to get out of the cold & snow for sunny & warm climes and the beach and golf course, etc...

...Indy or Detroit I would have declined...

...Charlotte definitely better than those 2 but also a wholly inferior substitute for SoCal, Miami, Tampa, New Orleans, etc...

Out of curiosity I was looking at the historical locations of past Super Bowls and ran across this wiki page:  

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl

Interesting passage in the attached screenshot...

...can CLT provide this?

I have not been among those advocating for Charlotte to host a Super Bowl.  It has been discussed here.  Those in favor  said we needed a  dome.  NY hosted a SB because of 911. There was a lot of anxiety about the weather. I am  just  saying if Tepper  says no  to a dome...he is  not trying to  attract a SB.  The NFL seems to reward  new stadiums with that.

Charlotte needs a stadium/entertainment complex similar to the Green Bay Packers...they have a ice skating rink (obv can't do that here, but think of something), a full size fan football field where fans can play catch/kick FG's etc, bunch of shops and restaurants, etc.

Well he just torpedoed any future sale of PSLs at BOA .  Who in their right mind will buy these things now that they are going to be obsolete in several years?  That is unless someone has enough money to flush thousands of dollars down the drain for a temporary, non-refundable item.

Not sure if you've done a US tour but I have. I think Charlotte is a really nice city. Prepare to be disappointed if you think Charlotte sucks and I'm not from there so I have no skin in that opinion.

This is a pretty fair assessment of Charlotte. Nice and doesn't suck.

I've had people come down for a game and I have tried to list the must do things in Charlotte and it is tough. But you will still have an enjoyable time.

Do people really think of Indianapolis as bad as Detroit? I've been to Indy a ton of times, and Detroit 3 times, and there is no comparison. 

Indy is pretty much most major Midwest cities IMO, and Detroit has some nice areas they've rebuilt surrounded by an utter wasteland of decayed manufacturing. It's really sad too, because you can see all the evidence of it's former glory when you visit.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
