Tepper made his entire fortune during the last one.

That was from buying up depressed banking something or another.  Cannot recall the correct technical term for the financial investing it was. But yeah, he will lose a chuck of change personally but you and i are stuck paying the tab. We pay the tab either way, only this time with less income and higher cost of living.

The devil is in the details with these stadium deals. This will be done Teppers way and who knows what that will be. He strikes me as someone who would want something to make Jerry Jones jealous. 

Then why doesn't he just build new

That would be a bad call. The Panthers are too important to Charlotte

Peter Von Allmen, president of the North American Association of Sports Economists: There is no proof that hosting an NFL franchise leads to a substantial positive economic impact.

Victor Matheson, sports economist and professor at College of the Holy Cross: Generally the economics literature, people who have studied this who are not connected with the league, we can almost never find any tangible economic benefits with bringing an NFL team to town or with building new stadiums.

Brad Humphreys, sports economist and professor at the University of West Virginia: There is no evidence in any peer-reviewed scholarly journal that a professional football team will generate any tangible positive economic impact on a city. There is no evidence that the departure of a football team ever harmed a city's economy.

I'm not sure anyone wins if a recession hits.

Yes, he bought up collapsed banks caused by the financial crisis during the last recession. He was tipped off (insider trading) that the feds would subsidize his investment to keep the economy afloat.

He literally won the recession to the tune of about $10b!

He will not lose money in the coming recession. Hard times for regular folks are the glory days for the ultra wealthy. Just look at the gilded age!

And, he will use this $600 million handout to buyout all of the foreclosed homes in this massively overcooked housing market until he is the feudal lord of North and South Carolina. What do you think he really meant by "2 States 1 Team?!?"

Sports franchises are just more corporate welfare/socialism. The public pays for the stadiums after the owner inherits the team or makes their investment in the team and then said owner profits of tax dollars at work.

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 an unlimited contractor I can tell you that those numbers in today's market are not outrageous and actually, depending on the plan, relatively frugal unfortunately.

Not really what you are trying to portray under current economic conditions mixed with inflation. While I agree the price is high for anything next to a complete renovation. You aren’t factoring in inflation, especially current day inflation and price of material and labor. So you are either intentionally or unintentionally misplacing.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
