Not too soon. No one would be willing to listen to a stadium deal right now. Maybe start with the team and practice facilities first?

I think they need to move rail road tracks and clean up the area.  Also will need to redo 277 ramp.  All that before construction can even start.

The site prep wouldn't include the ramp. That sounds like something the city would negotiate in the stadium negotiation process.

Still, way to early to have any conversations between the team and local leaders. Elections, recession, terrible product and recent massive failures lead me to believe it will be a while before anything meaningful ramps up. I think even Tepper said it was being pushed back 10 years last year?

Why does that matter for a football stadium

Matters a lot. Build there without a clean-up people would come down sick because a stadium built right over contaminated soil. Common sense really. Not to mention structural corrosion and other safety issues caused by that contaminated area.

From a person I know close to the owner, the Charlotte Pipe and Foundry isn’t really being considered due to the strong potential of soil contamination 

Half of the Mooresville/ North Lake Norman area was built on top of Duke Energy coal ash dumps so I doubt it's a deal -breaker. I mean our transplanted northern friends have to have somewhere to live right?

Environmental consultant specializing in Brownfields redevelopment here in the Charlotte area.  Contaminated soil is not a barrier to building a stadium at the Pipe and Foundry (or other contaminated property).  The environmental issues can be managed; it's simply a matter of cost, as contaminated soils would need to be disposed of to a properly permitted landfill at a higher price per ton than non-impacted soil leaving the site.  Contaminated groundwater beneath the site could also require a vapor intrusion mitigation system be installed beneath the occupied portions of the stadium (not the concourses or seating areas that are open air).  All these measures are things that can be and are regularly done during construction projects that encounter contaminated environmental media.  It just requires more money to properly coordinate with the appropriate regulatory agencies and properly manage the contaminated media.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
