Rockhill site going south fast it seems.

Crackhill was a horrible spot to begin with. Just another Tepper failure.

Hey guys, I have $10,000 in the bank and I have a car repair of $740, can you guys pay it for me so I can keep all of my money?

The Charlotte media market is #22 in the U.S. There's a reason why the team is called labeled "Carolina" and not "Charlotte" and why the the pushes the whole two states thing so hard. The Charlotte market isn't big enough to carry a team. You need the broader region.

 

 

Charlotte is big enough now but it's a transient city so there isn't majority support like Pittsburg or Dallas. Same goes for LA and LV. They don't have a huge base of fans either. Either way I'm pretty sure we are Carolina just to represent both states like JR wanted. Fan base wouldn't be any different if the name changed because most people in lower SC support the Falcons and in upper NC support the football team formally known as the Redskins.

I was simply responding to the statement that Charlotte is a top 10 media market.

Nope. It's absolutely going to happen. There's too much money in Austin/SA now. Freaking Elon Musk might own the team.

It's a good investment because with my repaired car I'll be able to contribute to the economy and that will end up making things better for everyone so you see, it's really in everyone's best interest to give me this money that I totally don't need so that I can further increase my wealth... uh, I mean "contribute to the economy".

It is by NFL standards. The nfl determines the primary and secondary market (for blackout zones) by drawing a 75mile radius around the stadium.

That ‘standard’ puts the panthers at #6. Just ahead of the cowgirls.

Interestingly enough, the nfl widens that 75 mile zone for the panthers to include the triangle, etc. Adding Raleigh Durham puts the panthers at #2 I think.

Charlotte by itself could claim to be larger than their number if they wanted a broader reach. The issue that Nielsen has is if Charlotte were to include additional counties and cities it would be cannibalizing other smaller media markets. This works for large cities such as New York, LA, Chicago, and Houston where they can actually encompass other media markets as their own with their broadcasts. 
 

If the Raleigh/Durham area had their own team, then it would reduce the size of the Panthers NFL market. This is somewhat similar to the Pennsylvania NFL media market where they have both the Steelers and the Eagles.

He is really starting to piss me off. He has brought the team down from mediocrity to laughing stock in only a few years.

One of the good things about him was he was going to be the richest owner, but he just wants to keep all that $ and make more off the Panthers while making terrible decisions. He is just a piece of poo.

It's what billionaires do. This is our new version of "capitalism". In reality, it's just socialism for the very wealthy.

Doesn't matter how you feel about him or South Carolina. This is a preview of things to come in Charlotte. It's always good for a laugh to see people tripping over themselves to grovel in defense of the ultra wealthy.

He has more money than all the rock hill residents combined, I would have told him to go fug himself from the start.

You and me both. I would've told him "15% of Rock Hill's population falls below the defined poverty line and you, a billionaire more than a dozen times over wants hundreds of millions in handouts? You sir can go fug yourself."

To put this in perspective, David Tepper a multi-billionaire is essentially asking Rock Hill for $21k per impoverished resident. This poo should be fuging criminal but it's business as usual for the elite.

Rockhill never should have made that deal. They can’t afford it and shouldn’t try.
