Contrary to popular belief from someone I have talked to, Tepper doesn’t like government money because that means there are strings attached. 

Tepper already said the new stadium in Charlotte will only be built with him paying 1/3 of the cost.  He must not dislike government money too much.

Thats what Jensen said... Jerry Jones did the same thing when he built the Star.  No govt money.

Building a stadium isnt the same as a building a development in RH. 

Just from the way things look, meaning you physically go down there and look at it... they have already built a large chunk of infrastructure in that bridge alone.  Someone is paying for it and if RH hasnt put up their part then most likely Tepper has footed the bill for well over a year.

Ehhh we’ll see when it comes to that. Early hiccups with Rock Hill and Charlotte have probably changed his tuned.

People forget, Charlotte FC HQ was going on the old eastland mall site till the city started making demands what he did with the property in terms of housing and such. FC will still be on the site but they have nixed the HQ there.

Tepper would like the city to buy the land for a new stadium.  Preferable the pipe and foundry location.  The he can have the same deal he has now, his stadium on city property.

They definitely have the plans.  I mean... that giant bridge going over I-77 is more than halfway built.

That's the State doing the bridge, not the City.

That makes sense.  I still have a hard time believing the plans for the rest of the infrastructure arent available. Project is just too big for them to be winging it.

Tepper would prefer to own the land himself but that can't happen is the land isn't for sale .

That site is no good for a stadium anyway...

This is a fact. Tepper may be the man who signed the deal with whomever he did in RH but after that his people do the rest.

The design firm/firms would be the responsible charge to submit the plans for approval to start the permitting process. That is a very involved process, especially with State permitting required as well.  At least that's how it works in NC.

Honestly, i have not cared enough about this fiasco to follow beyond what the local TV reports on it so take my 2 cents as what it is.

I’m not mad at Tepper in this. If you and a friend agree to split the cost of an Airbnb (even though you have more money than your friend it’s still only right that you split) and your friend all of a sudden can’t pay for their part of the Airbnb then idk about y’all but I’m gonna cancel the Airbnb. Yeah Tepper could pay for it himself but that wasn’t the deal and it’s unfair to blame him when the city reneged not him. Be mad at him about Rhule Not at trying to honor the contract.

Nonsense. 

He liked the 1st deal...but Rock Hill didn't follow through on their obligations. 

You completely misunderstood @razorwolf's insightful and accurate post.  

No one except you has sympathy for a billionaire. He’s at the center of it and is losing the battle of public opinion. The dude is a prick who could write his own check to build the facility, he just doesn’t want to. He’d rather take some money off the taxpayers and then walk away to gain leverage when it doesn’t work out the way he planned. I don’t give two shits about the “details.” The fact that it didn’t work out and has ended in a PR disaster that tepper is at the center of does no surprise me in any way. People with normal size egos don’t solve their problems this way. Billionaire narcissistic assholes do.
