Well if reports are true Rock Hill are the ones at fault…. Yes I do see this as how it might play out in Charlotte…. I guess we will know more in a year or 2 but it seems moving the team and or having a fully funded stadium is the end game here … Tepper understands money so expect the most money play. which in my opinion is a more marketable city with a new tax payer fund stadium!! wish I had a few billy we the people deserve ownership haha:..  

Honestly, I'm close to he point with Tepper that I'd prefer he just take the team and be gone. Give the Carolinas an opportunity for a fresh start.

Unless he goes overseas, he’s not going anywhere. These days, Charlotte is a bigger media market that Pittsburg and Baltimore. There isn’t a larger market left  without a team.

The Austin/San Antonio market would like a word.

Well charlotte is the biggest banking city in the east coast behind New York .. maybe this is where he wants to be being a hedge fund banker and all.. head quarters might want to move to charlotte … but from the sound of it he has dished out over 100 million for a unfinished project because the town where it is at has failed there contract …. So I’m sure tepper pissed … but remember owning a sports team comes with major tax breaks

I don't blame Tepper one bit for this

They’re considered separate media markets. Anyway, they’re not putting a team between Dallas and Houston.

It will happen eventually, there are almost 6m people in the Austin/SA area. Texas has the second highest state population in the US. Florida has a lower population than Texas but has 3 teams.

And the majority of those people are cowboy fans. It would be a major disaster if another NFL team moved to Texas. Ain't nobody going to those games unless that new team is playing the cowboys.

From Quora.  This makes some sense:

 

Quote

If the NFL were to bring a team to San Antonio that would dilute the potential fan base for the other two established teams. This is also why Birmingham, which has had several well-attended teams in alternate leagues, has never been looked at by the NFL — fans here are already directed to the Titans or the Falcons.

St. Louis Panthers

Portland Panthers

San Antonio Panthers

Oklahoma City Panthers

San Diego Panthers

Oakland Panthers

Honolulu Panthers

Vancouver Panthers

Berlin Panthers

London Panthers

Yall are crazy if you think the nfl is gonna let Tepper move the team outta this market.  Even crazier to think he wants to move outta this market.

Tepper is a failure at anything he touches.  How did this man become a billionaire?

I started investing last year or so, and on a very novice level, but what I've gleaned so far from my experience is the house always wins.  If you know how to kiss ass well, rub elbows and all that bullshit, learn the ropes, learn how to game the game, and got in some experience trading with other people's money on the house side before opening your own hedge fund, I don't think it's all that hard to become a billionaire, or at least a very, very well off hundred-millionaire.  My experience trading has also shaped how I look at Tepper quite a bit...  before I started, I thought he was some brilliant genius.  After seeing how the market works, I don't think that at all.  Is he smart?  Absolutely.  But, the guys running hedges aren't Einstein, they're more like scammers who hit it big by coming up with creative ways to rip off others and poo on the little man.  They just have to know when to make certain deals to really capitalize on timing and such, but it's set up in their favor so there is really no way for them to lose.  They're going to make money, its just a matter of how much.

And the amazing thing is, so much of what they make is really by ruining the lives of everyday working and middle class people.  You know how many companies he probably shorted into oblivion causing loss of jobs and income for countless people?  You know how many retail investors he screwed out of life-changing money by essentially stealing and using loop holes that are illegal but our shitty ass government doesn't so their jobs in oversight or preventing it from happening because they're profiting off of it too?  

No doubt in my mind, Tepper is an absolute poo bag.  Don't let the "just a regular guy from humble beginnings" poo fool you.  This dude has major dirt on his hands and he couldn't give a fug less about fans or any person not named David Tepper.  He got rich by fuging people over and being great at it.  Period.
