Thanks for the correction guys.

That said, the state using tax dollars to fund a single man's business renovation while he pockets all the profits is even worse. That poo ain't right no matter which way you look at it. Taking it a step further, should the state, city, and/or county use tax money to pay for renovations at every restaurant, hotel, and store that tourists visit too?

Been going on for years - economic incentives help prop up for profit business ventures all across the state.  I’m not a fan of incentives,  but they’ve become a necessary evil to lure jobs and money to the state.  
 

For entertainment venues, it’s less about a return on that physical investment and more about creating an identity recognizable nationwide that results in a return in a variety of ways.

I know but as I said, the poo is wrong. The billionaires already have more than enough. The regular folk shouldn't have to pay to prop them up even more.

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

Both are a waste of money.  The owners of these teams act like they care about social issues, but gladly take millions in taxes for their own benefit.

It should have been a big  positive for all Panther  fans  when Tepper said he had no plans to move the team out of Charlotte and is seriously considering a renovation to Bank of America Stadium that would prolong its life for at least another decade rather than pushing for another new stadium immediately.

Whether it's him or anyone else who may own the team it would make no sense to relocate given the market the team already resides in.

That being said if the ten year minimum for this round of renovations is actually in writing and not a handshake deal that would likely garner more support.

It's the politicians using taxpayer dollars to crawl in bed with these billionaires. Your tax dollars are used to benefit their interests and to get recognition and favors from big dollar donors for their campaigns. It's all done for the benefit of the hard working taxpayers of the city of Charlotte and the great state of North Carolina.  Anything involving politicians is inherently corrupt.

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.  

Yep, #Greedflation is a motherfuger these days, so much so that some economists are warning about an end to capitalism.

But, I digress...Tepper can really afford his own poo, but local politicians in Charlotte (like any major municipality) have their greased hands in pockets and cookie jars.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
