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

 Tepper is going to make a great deal money by developing the area around an uptown stadium. 

No one is developing anything off of Carowinds Blvd.  Its a sea of warehouses and distribution centers. 

This downtown development info is interesting news, I'm curious to learn about what you know.  What exectly is he going to develop downtown?  I wasn't aware of him owning any developable land...

You've perfectly described the South End as it existed 30-40-50 years ago.

The Carowinds site is a short 14 minute drive from Panthers Stadium and getting in/out would be easier for just about everyone...and it also plays well to the 2-states/1-team theme in that the site straddles the NC/SC border.

Most of the infrastructure at Carowinds is old and tired and has been significantly if not fully depreciated...and the site would certainly be less expensive than the Charlotte Pipe & Foundry land (on a per acre basis anyway).

Personally I like have the stadium in town as well but clearly Tepper is hankering for a new one and it would seem he is going to consider all options in the process.

NOTE: This isn't my idea per se, a while back some other poster on this site suggested and I just happen to think his suggestion is a good one...would credit him if I could remember who said it!

 

 

If you drive from Fort Mill to central Charlotte you know that your 14 minute drive can take more than an hour depending in time of day. 77 has terrible traffic and daily accidents. Maybe it is 14 minutes by helicopter but not in a car.

With a large chunk of the city heading the same way for a game?

Anyone who drove down to Clemson in the day knew that 60000 people all heading to the stadium around the same time was a disaster coming and going. It would double the normal time to drive because there were limited ways in and out.

I dunno…maybe you should pay attention more to economic development news? He has clearly stated in the media about his desire to build an entertainment district around the stadium.  I dunno…there might be an empty 33 acre lot uptown that his current stadium sits on.  Plus another 20 acres of Pipe and Foundry land on the other side of 277 (assuming he buys all of their property).  But please tell me more of your “make Steele Creek great again” plan.

You can always tell who the delusional upstate SC people are when they start talking about 15 minute drives

Most NFL football games are held on Sunday...

...but you make a great point, regardless of the day folks from Fort Mill would have a much easier commute to the new Carowinds Stadium.

Pop into Waze and plan the same trip on Sunday morning...

...you know, when folks are actually going to an NFL game😉

[now + 3 different times on Sunday]

 

{obviously some stadium traffic on game day would change the math but the original poster intimated that Carowinds is like 38 miles from the current stadium}

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By strato · Posted

      Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own.

      Interview Tillis with Jordan Rodrigue on team building. Interesting

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan

      NC state championship games

      By Otters · Posted

      Something like 24 now. The first 6 minutes were fun, after that, oh man. It was cool tho, a near capacity, with both teams well supported.
