I’d be hesitant to offer funding for an underwhelming product as well. I’m not mad at the city of Charlotte for their position, and I’m not mad at Tepper for asking/trying.

At the end of the day, he’ll get what he wants.

Here's to hoping he wants a swift kick in the ass. 😆

Non story. There's no new information here. Threads/headlines like these are meant to drive clicks so people like Mr. Scot, LinvilleGeorge, Carl Spackler and CRA can poop their pants in excitement to come to the forum and post about how bad Tepper is. Tepper is paying for the facility, Rock Hill just bid that amount of money becuase they wanted it in Rock Hill and would provide the roads/water/electric/infrastructure so Tepper took that deal, then the silly town defaulted

I don't have an issue with using reasonable amounts of taxpayer money for a new stadium.

Half a billion?  That’s probably 1/3 of a fancy new stadium.  And that’s not the high end

True. Some( not you Mr. Scot) that you've mentioned come here to profess their hate for the team as if to say "hey look at me!" "I'm edgy...(in a passive aggressive way), and I hate this team...but keep coming back and posting". Of course, it's the Huddle.

I don't know the amount. But it doesn't have to be a flat sum. You can probably use things like a hotel tax.

I view a stadium in the same way I view the arts.

“Right now, we have other priorities we’re working with,” Graham said. “Dollars are limited. The biggest thing is we have other priorities.”

The local push and pull over taxpayer money has obvious relevance to the team’s desire to build a new stadium. Owner David Tepper will expect public money. What happens if he can’t get as much as he wants, or any at all?

Other cities have learned that lesson the hard way. Charlotte potentially could be next

 Tepper stated  the following in  a previous Charlotte Observer article :

(“At some point, that building will fall down. Like I said before and I’ll say it again, I’m not building a stadium alone.” ) 

( “The community is going to have to want it. If I’m a third, and the community’s a third, and eventually in the future, personal seat license (owners) are a third, or whatever we do, it’s a partnership." ) 

( “If people don’t want it, they don’t want it. I’m not going to force it on anybody; I don’t want to force it on anybody.” )

      No lie… to this day, and forever, I’m always still gonna love me some Ted Ginn.  I tell people all the time who aren’t Panther fans so they don’t know - Ted legit was our best receiver during Cam’s tenure here.

      That game made me resign from my position as HC of UNC in my solo football dynasty on NCAA26.

      Nah, what he did in Cleveland was damn impressive.     ain’t no way in hell we (it’s my alma mater) should’ve looked like this tonight.  That was piss poor coaching and piss poor playing.  Like they said, for both teams, this was a similar setting to when TCU played Colorado when Deion was hired.  TCU coming in to play a game against a super famous football celebrity figure with a completely overhauled roster - difference is, Colorado played up to the moment.  We just folded like a cheap lawn chair.  I was joking during the game with friends, like they really watched a whole summer of Gio and Max and decided Gio was the starter?  Hell, I bet Bryce Baker as a freshman is better than Gio.  We hyped that signing of Gio like we just won the fuging lottery, and he is complete ass.  We spent two quarters desperately not trying to throw the football - I don’t know if it’s because he can’t or what?  But there was no excuse for that.  It felt so much like the Rhule years here.  I haven’t seen such a dysfunctional offense since or before.  And then the damn defense…. I asked my friend if they just brought all 70 new guys in from a lab that does arm and leg transplants because did these guys just receive their limbs and are figuring out how to use them???  Because I have never seen a whole team look so inept.  Diving early at feet and missing them entirely, getting trucked, flailing and falling everywhere, peewee league arm tackles, always looking a step slow…  no lie, whatever the worse I could’ve imagined that debut going, take that and make it 10 times worse and I never would’ve even seen THAT happening.  Absolutely no excuse for it.  None.  All the brand power and image brought with the Belichick hire, and that’s the best he could do in his debut.  They brought MJ, LT, and Roy out for THAT???  Man, I spent 7 years of my life living there and i NEVER saw or heard of LT coming out there during that time.  They actually got him coming around to watch THAT. Bill should be fuging embarrassed.  The fuging commentary booth brought a dog in and put a headset on him as Rece Davis said, “the wheels are off, ladies and gentlemen.”  As I said elsewhere - not under Mack 1.0, not under Torbush, not under Butch, not under Fedora,  and not under Mack 2.0, did we EVER look like THAT.  Never.  You bring in a guy that is considered one of the greatest football minds in coaching EVER, and we get shellacked and don’t even look competitive???  Boy I know the boosters are shitting fuging fireballs right now.
