City discussed $1.2 billion framework for Panthers stadium renovations 

https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/city-discussed-12-billion-framework-panthers-stadium-renovations/GPQZECP3AZAWHBQSMPQ5CZTEA4/

The Charlotte City Council discussed the future of Bank of America Stadium in a closed session on January 31. 

>>At 6 p.m., Channel 9′s Joe Bruno will break down how the city and the Panthers will arrange funding for the stadium.

In that meeting, city leaders discussed a potential framework of a $1.2 billion project with $600 million in public funds. The discussion was meant to brief Charlotte City Council on what a potential deal could look like.

Billionaire bilks city out of 600 million right before major recession; still refuses to install real grass.  

Counteroffer: Tepper gets dick and the city spends that money to build out the light rail, since we know they have that money to spend now.

Also, use whatever ridiculous multidecade accounting plan they tried to sell you on as the framework to lock in that multibillion dollar tax value until 2073!

Economic studies have shown that public spending on stadium projects is a terrible "investments" and essentially amounts to a handout to billionaires. Something feels extremely grifty about the numbers involved too. Jerryworld cost $1.4B to build in '04 and was considered wildly extravagant at the time. The Falcons' new stadium cost $1.6B. You're telling me you need $1.2B just to RENOVATE our current stadium? I call BULLSHIT.

As long as my PSL's don't become worthless because of a new stadium and they don't put a dome on the current stadium I don't care. 

I don't see how they're gonna spend the equivalent of damn near top dollar for a modern new stadium and NOT put a dome over BOA. There's gonna be serious fat involved in the project to line the appropriate pockets, but damn... you're still going to have to do some MAJOR work to justify 10 figures of spending on paper.

Have you seen the cost of materials and labor in the construction industry lately?! A new stadium like Jerry World would cost over $3B today.  I would have to see the details of this "renovation" being proposed before I have an educated opinion on this venture.

The city would be much better off to invest that money in infrastructure, mental health help, the homeless, education, or lots of other things than giving it to Tepper, especially just for a renovation. If he threatens to move the team over it, tell him bye.

Great news! I’m fine with my tax dollars going to this rather than some social crap. Ties the Panthers to the city!


CMS schools are terrible. Let’s give them 600 mill instead.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
