David Tepper unveils historic Charlotte FC practice facility: ‘It’s a dream’

BY ALEX ZIETLOW

David Tepper called it “a dream.”

“It’s a dream that was,” the Charlotte FC owner told a crowd on Tuesday. “It’s a dream that is.”

What Tepper was referring to was the opening of the Charlotte FC training facility: the 52,000 square-foot, privately financed, state-of-the-art project that was unveiled to the public on Tuesday evening. He discussed this “dream” site — which is officially called Atrium Health Performance Park — while standing on it, surveying all the potential the place brims with.

We’re excited,” continued Tepper, who is also the owner of the Carolina Panthers. “It’s the first facility in MLS with the business side, the first team (Charlotte FC), the second team (MLS NEXT Pro team Crown Legacy FC), and the academy — in one facility.”

Yeah, awesome facility.  Tepper also took all the fields there from the charter school thats next door and now the kids dont have anywhere for recess and gym.   I mean he bought land there big enough for 3 soccer fields ext to the facility, sodded it and fenced it in which the FC uses for practice.  (its pretty damn sweet)  But I guess its not enough b/c he got the landlord (Levines) to take away access to the fields on the other side of the school so his soccer team can use it whenever they want... screw the kids!!  

Tepper sure is a swell guy.

My heart just bleeds for them 

who knows maybe his love of soccer will lead to his sale if the NFL team he has no clue how to run 

I can tell you as a fan of CLTFC, that his ownership of that team is just as inept as it is of the Panthers. Only those who know nothing of the situation would claim that Tepper favors the soccer team more. He is 100% more invested in the Panthers, as evidenced with how hands-on he is.

We gonna act like he didn’t try to make the Panthers facility state of the art in South Carolina? That fell through but there will be a new HQ in the future.

When ?

he is very impulsive and risk taking needs to have an exit strategy  

It’s very difficult to do that in a community and have  any credibility left   Moving that facility away from charlotte was stupid to begin with 

On a side note, I notice the ‘two states, one team’ saying had been gone for awhile 

he dreams big but in the sports arena those dreams fall flat

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      By frankw · Posted

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
