0.00% chance Tepper builds a new stadium in South Carolina...unbuilt/planned practice/office facilities have already gone completely sideways.

It called Tepper a liberal billionaire as many times as possible. He's a billionaire for sure but he's the definition of center right.

But he hated Trump (called him demented, narcissistic scumbag) so that makes him a lib of course LOL.  I mean, other than him being a Republican and all.

Exactly. Either the writer is a moron and believes this or the writer is feeding his stupid readers (if he has any). Either way it's pure garbage and old Sizzle boy goes on the ignore list for even bringing it here.

why would you admit to reading this website?

I only recently learned of it as a byproduct of reading up on the Murdaugh situation down in Hampton County, SC.

I do agree that the blogger is anything but an arms-length independent reporter presenting stories in a fair & balanced manner...

...but it doesn't change the facts that (a) the financial package given to a multi-billionaire who doesn't need to money is now a serious political hot potato in the State of SC, and (b) said package is already off the rails from a financial perspective.

It's a real story...

He needs to get ballsy and just build the stadium south of greenville. tons of cheap land. Still close enough to Charlotte.

You need to be close to a NC population center if you want to survive. SC doesn't really have any non-NC adjacent areas that are capable of supporting professional sports in any real way. 

Frankly, SC barely supports the Panthers as it is. Greenville is the best non-NC adjacent location, however. I definitely agree with that.

Just keep it in Charlotte. Problem solved.

[rippadonn]

Lol. Charlotte has more hotels and infrastructure than anywhere in SC. If RockHill blinks, Charlotte and surrounding has plenty of land and hospitality. 

Problem solved.

So what is the total cost of this practice facility? 225 million is steep. Just what kind of other events can be held there to justify the soaring cost? It is not a big shock that another round of billionaire welfare isn't working out so well.

He used “boondoggle” four times in the first article. Anyway the issues he brought up were widely discussed in 2019. Shut up.

Also if Tepper wanted to build an NFL complex in SC the state would eat it up.

[Ja Rhule]

Fort Mill would be perfect for the stadium.  There is one guy who sits on 500 acres of land on the river basically across the future practice facility.

Imaging parking at Panthers HQ and walking across the bridge to Panthers stadium.

It's probably easier to build something on the moon than it is to build anything bigger than an Arby's in SC.

How dare you.

The current Carowinds site would be an awesome place for a new stadium...
