I could see Tepper moving the team.

You forgot to add Austin's metro area entirely. It's over 5m combined. If the Panthers are going to consider both states as their media market, it's not even a 90 min drive between the two cities. 
 

 

 

So it’s 80 miles between those cities.

Pretty much the same pop as 75 miles around Charlotte.

If yall are wondering where the team might go, the Austin/San Antonio market is RIPE for a team. Put the team in New Braunfels or San Marcos between the cities, and invest in a train line. Brand it the “Texas Something’s” so it’s not a city specific team, like the Rangers. Jerry Jones would fight tooth and nail but, the market has over 5m people as of now and is predicted to have 6-7m in 2030. The region will get an NFL franchise eventually.

How could I-35 get any worse? This is how.

I hope me does. Take this train wreck to another unlucky town. IDGAF

Tepper is football dumb but he is not money dumb. Even though he has been losing since he became the owner. He has doubled his initial investment $2billion to $4.1billion. David Tepper is not moving the Panthers out of Charlotte. And why would Jerry Jones want another team to come to Texas? 

[Basbear]

All you austin/san antonio posters. Jerry Jones will NOT allow any new texas teams, after kraft hes got the most owner power.

Team move would require league approval from a majority of the owners.

I really don't see that happening.

Anyone talking about another team around the greater Austin area needs to understand that as long as Jerry Jones has a pulse it ain't happening.  He wasn't happy about Houston getting their franchise back as the Texans and there was some wheeling and dealing behind the scenes about Dallas retaining TV market rights/shares for a certain number of years around the Houston area.

Anyways, I don't think the team is going anywhere.  We are in the lowest of lows that most of us can remember, but I'll say this:  I am glad my home state has an NFL team - nothing stays the same forever.

No way they leave the atl/dc corridor empty.

It is 120 miles from where I live to Bank of America Stadium. I travel to a game down I-85 on game day I see others from my area who have PSL’s. (If they haven’t sold them) NC does have a large tv audience for the Panthers. 
The Carolina’s have been cursed with ownership groups with both the Hornets and the Panthers.

Won't happen. 

[cardiackat88.]

I remember it being high speculation that Tepper would want to move the team when he initially bought it.

This has been a thing for a while, many threads about it.

[DaveThePanther2008]

It's not going to happen. PERIOD

What needs to happen is MR. Hegde Fund needs to get out of football operations and let the professionals handle it.
