Is there enough room? Jeez do you even see the picture? That is about twice the size of the parcel the stadium sits on now.

Absolutely not -- in fact the current stadium parcel is listed as 33-acres and the larger tract of CP&F land is about 40-acres.  (FYI, there's a couple parcels in there CP&F does not own)

Inglewood CA is NOT a city downtown if you aren't familiar with LA.  We don't need dedicated parking for 50,000 cars.

Nor is Glendale, AZ (223 acres) which was held out as a model to copy.  Neither site has parking for "50,000 cars"...not even half that.

Tepper's the richest NFL owner and he's not gonna settle for anything but the best and that ain't a stadium the same size as the current one crammed into a parcel the same size as the current one 🤦‍♂️...

33 acres includes the practice fields. Try again.

It's ridiculous really. A new stadium? Why? To keep up with Jurry?

Lambeau Field was built in 1957.

It's all about priorities.

Solider field is way up there too, weird how its ok at a few places, but others once the stadium hits 10 its "dated and needs replacing"

 

There was a study not long about the true financial impact of a new stadium for the locals. Turns out its was no better than having a local super target. Compete joke.

IF i was king of all, use one stadium for multiple teams including college....even HS. Near the same waste as golf courses....

So what?

What's the footprint of the "new" stadium vs. old?  

Has to be a massive difference --- shoehorning a massive multi-billion stadium into a cramped 40-acre site is no bueno.

pros and cons. 

I like that the stadium is in uptown, walkable from pretty much the entire hotel district. Like Lambeau or any of the soccer stadiums in London, where it's just part of the neighborhood.

I also like the setup in Houston (for example), where all the stadiums tie together into a single stadium zone with plenty of space to do other things throughout the year, like RodeoHouston (which is fantastic).    except that everyone has to figure out a way to get to the stadium district somehow, whether by car/bus/train, etc.

So Charlotte-Mecklenburg County residents, who have not yet finished paying for the latest BOA renovation, are now going to foot the bill for a second stadium, albeit a smaller capacity soccer stadium. The Meck Country residents already have the 3rd highest property taxes in the state and Charlotte is right up there, too.

If the politicians stand firm (like NC Gov. McCrory did with Jerry Richardson while CLT City Council simultaneously caved) and Just Say No...

...Tepper will have no choice. 

More and more municipalities are manning up and embracing Just Say No:

> SoFi Stadium ($5B), fully funded by Rams ownership.

> Jets-Giants Stadium ($1.6B), built by the owners with no public money (there were revenue sharing concessions, etc).

> NY Islanders ($1.1), new Nassau Coliseum fully built with private funds (NYS does own the land it sits on).  

Expand  

stadium will end up in SC

 

Carowinds is 406 acres and sits on the NC/SC border (2 States--1 Team😎)...

...could build a massive stadium -- mixed use project and have plenty of parking to boot!  (100+ acres bigger than the SoFi Stadium site)

Tepper may want to wait and see if his team improves any before worrying about a stadium. As it is now he would only need enough seats for him and his friends.

The city of St. Louis told the Rams "start winning and we will build a new stadium."

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
