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."

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
