Ask yourself this: How much money do you want taken out of the state budget for roads, your kids schools and public parks in your town to build a sports stadium for a team where every recognizable public figure associated with that team makes way more than you do?

And lots of folks were upset with the commercialization of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

yet all that $ avoided saddling Georgia/Atlanta/local taxpayers with footing a bill for temporary facilities.   Private funding can work.

I don't think sports holds that big a sway anymore. What municipality even wants a team now? New stadiums are like 2B minimum now and you know Tepper is going to want one to compete with Jerry, so 4-5B min. No way that should be taxpayer funded. 

New York state just made taxpayers pay for the new Bills stadium

Look for this type of deal with a new stadium.

City of Charlotte buys the land

Tepper builds the stadium

Sound familiar? It’s the same plan Jerry had in 1993

to add to this, Tepper knows with more tax money comes more strings from the government. Contrary to popular belief he doesn’t want the handouts because stadium financing from tax dollars has changed over the last couple of years.

IF the NFL and Tepper could guarantee Charlotte can host two Super Bowls it could be worth it.

If not BofA will be just fine. If we spend tax dollars you gotta give us something. We could go for the most technically advanced stadium ever built.

Fairly or unfairly we've been deprived of two Superbowls. Let us host two, I may forgive and vote yes.

Yeah, I love football and all, but it shouldn’t be tax-funded in any way. I hope Charlotte gives Tepper the finger. Maybe other cities will stand up to these assholes too

What does some over developed football headquarters do for a city like Charlotte? SC will fold for something that brings in a little business for Training camp or something but helping fund a billionaires ideal office building? I thought he was an old school fat sweaty short order cook from Pittsburg that didn't need nice things

Z-E-R-O chance what you describe actually comes to pass...

...there is no land, and there is no money👍.

      Playoffs!? You wanna talk about playoffs!?

      17% odds Better than the 0% chance that I figured we'd have at this point, but we're basically counting on the Bucs to poo the bed.

      It will probably be head to head to determine the division winner since I believe we would have to win both to have a chance

      So, Carolina (7-6) goes into a Bye Week while they sit on top of the NFCS with Tampa Bay (7-5). For those that don’t know here is how the tiebreaking procedures work for the Division: Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in common games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss The Panthers are currently 7-6 with a 2-1 record in the division and a 5-3 record in the NFC. The Bucs are currently 7-5 with a 2-0 record in the division and 5-3 record in the NFC. *Should the Panthers make it to Tiebreaker #5 they will almost certainly lose since this team enjoys winning in the final minute each week. Hopefully, they can avoid letting it go that far. Remaining Schedules: The Panthers round out their schedule with: ·       Bye Week ·       @ New Orleans (2-10) ·       VS Tampa Bay (7-5) ·       VS Seattle (9-3) ·       @ Tampa Bay (7-5) Tampa will round out their schedule with: ·       VS New Orleans (2-10) ·       VS Atlanta (4-8) ·       @ Carolina (7-6) ·       @ Miami (5-7) ·       VS Carolina (7-6) So to make this even more complicated, you need to cheer for the Saints this week and be prepared to hate them next week. Hopefully, them, the Falcons, or the Dolphins can give us a hand along the way. Conclusion: The easiest path forward is to beat New Orleans and sweep the Bucs. However, that would be too easy so we may need some help from our cousins in Georgia and Louisiana. Personally, I think Miami may give Tampa some problems since it looks like they are starting to turn their season around. But knowing us, we will find a way to lose to the Saints and somehow beat Seattle just to keep things interesting. There is 1 quarter of the football season left, and the way I have it figured that’s kind of how our playoff chances go over the next 4 games: By finishing: ·       1-3: (Eliminated, even if one wins against Tampa, it won’t matter) ·       2-2: (50% chance depending on who we beat, if Seattle/New Orleans- No. If Tampa both times, maybe if not likely, would still need some help from somebody on their schedule). ·       3-1: (Very likely if not certainly. Would mean sweeping the Bucs and either the Saints/Seahawks OR beating Saints/Seahawks with at least one win against the Bucs) ·       4-0: (Dust off your Sunday best and clip your nails, we are hosting a playoff game!) So get ready for meaningful football in December, because it’s here for the first time in a long while.
