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."

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
