Not one tax dollar. None. Zero. Zilch.

I've ridiculed people anytime they suggest moving is an option. I still don't think it is but I'm honestly at the point to say fuging do it. My daughter was upset because she couldn't watch dino ranchers after her nap because the game was on. Should have let her.  At least they have some balls

I’d be fine if Panthers move to Raleigh!!!

This franchise is going to be in the absolute trash for the foreseeable future. Jacksonville I thought was slated to be the next team to pack their bags and move but Lawrence gave their base a big shot in the arm. That leaves Carolina now. The fan base is eroding quickly and if Young continues to be bust material that could be it for fan support in the Carolinas. This will be the NFLs chance to finally get a team in the London market. I could see this playing out in 3-4 years.

This may be a new low for the site. Such a shortsighted perspective. You want to move the team and all of its history? Much easier to just pick a different team to root for. 

we are at an all time low. But if you’re done with the team then be done and move on. But leave it for the people that want it and don’t come crawling back if things ever turn around.

Never in my 20+ years of obsessing over this team did I think I would be literally hoping for Tepper to pack up and move it away

To where though?  Every area who should have or deserves a team has one, except maybe St. Louis or, IDK, Portland?  Salt Lake City?

The sad part is that every time I feel like we've hit rock bottom, all time low, the floor just drops out from under us again.

Lol. I could care less. Move them to Munich.

The only time a city/county/state should fund an arena or stadium is when they own it, can use it for other events, and get paid by a team to play there. Otherwise, let the billionaires pay for their own poo.

The major thing that would keep a team in Charlotte is that this is a major market and the NFL would hate to lose this market to move to a most likely smaller market. 
 

that said it’s not everything

Not one tax dollar of Charlotte residents should go to a new stadium that will be filled with opposing fans.

The moment the Panthers have stands full of their own fans we can talk. But charging local taxpayers to enhance the GameDay experience of visiting fans is idiotic.

That's the proper order of things. Don't like it? Move the damn team. 

I've never been more OK with moving the team than now.  Fug it

[Donald LaFell]

Yeah the time to talk about this was before the city council primary. I don’t think any of them are against public funding for a new stadium. They’ll say it’ll net more revenue to give him money.

My dude, be careful what you wish for, because I am 100% certain that after the failure of the Rock Hill project, the continued poor performance of the team and subsequent poor attendance from fans, David Tepper is certainly beginning to consider moving the team. He has run out of goodwill with the community and with the fans. Their Linkedin page is their only social media devoid of constantly being berated for being an awful franchise. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Surely this is it y'all. Having the fanbase openly wishing for the franchise to just be uprooted and moved is surely fandom rock bottom.
