Considering Tepper has spent $170M of his own money on construction so far, I think it would be naive to suggest he's going to walk away. Regardless how much money he has, a $170M white elephant in the middle of nowhere will get you the reputation of a Trumpian real estate guy: build, default, bankrupt.

👆☝️👍👊

Anybody & @kungfoodude both nailed it...

...Rock Hill & Co are simply being taught a lesson in Negotiations 101 by a Grand Master in the discipline...

...it will all work out.  

Let it be known all the hand wringing, fretting, and gnashing of teeth, can now safely be redirected toward seriously hating on Rhule/billionaires/Silver Platter Sam/etc...

...take your pick 🤙

[or alternatively sucking the dick of ambulance chasing con-men yankee lawyers 😂]

Staying silent is a classic sales technique. Wait for the other guy to get uncomfortable and talk themselves into a better deal for you.

Tepper needs to stop trying to leech off of SC taxpayers and build his Panthers HQ with his own money.  Dave's worth somewhere north of 16 billion.

It's hilarious that this deal with Rock Hill SC blew up in his face.  Let's not kid ourselves.  If Tepper had pulled this off, his next move would have been to play NC against SC for a new domed stadium.  That would have resulted in billions in construction costs being shifted on to the backs of hard working Carolina tax payers.

Tepper is more than capable of paying for his team's wish list of construction projects without draining local government coffers of tax dollars better spent elsewhere.

You don't become a billionaire by paying for things yourself.

Do you guys really think Tepper is just going to let 170 Million rot away and sit? He is smarter than that. What else could this place become if not the Panthers HQ? Sports complex for the public? Wouldnt Rock Hill have to pay Tepper for that? 

What goes up, can come down, especially if the steel frame is bolted. Save what you can and sell the property to developers. He has already done the long/hard work of site prep and infrastructure. 
 

maybe he loses 100mil. That’s chump change that he would make back in dividends in few months, or simple trade in the market. Remember he bought a 40mil mansion just to tear it down as a FU to an old boss that screwed him.

170 million is around 1% of his net worth. to put that into consideration, tons of people on this board are probably spending 15-20% of their net worth annually on an oversized truck they have no need for (that was purchased because they're insecure and decided to buy a personality) and would HAPPILY walk away from if they could. 

sunk cost is a thing too

Tepper should just make the tickets free…

…it’s not fair to make poor people pay to attend an NFL game 🤦‍♂️

Nobody's saying that, but he doesn't need taxpayers--poor or otherwise--to pay a dime for the construction of his headquarters. Oh, that's right, why should he dig deeper into his pockets when he can just dig into everyone else's to help bankroll his business?🙄

100% agree.

Tepper has zero ability to "dig into" anyone's pocket other than his own...

...the duly elected local officials in Rock Hill are the folks who did the digging (or said they would anyway 😂). 

Keep this situation in mind when you're in the voting booth later this year and in case you've forgotten:

> City Councilman James "Smuggie" Mitchell said YES to giving Charloot tax-payor funds to Jerry Richardson for stadium renovations.

>Governor Pat McCrory said NO to Richardson when he tried to dip into the till of the State of NC.

Both are on the ballot this year...

...vote wisely 👊

Something that the "Tepper isn't going to just suddenly start making bad business deals" crew conveniently forgets. Tepper is petty as fug and he's willing to lose on the financial side if it satisfies his pettiness.

Do you have an example of this?

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      By aloysius snuffleupagus · Posted

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
