I could see Tepper moving the team.

Y'all's breakdown of MSAs and populations and whatever else is completely irrelevant. The only thing that will determine if the Panthers stay is if the city or state or county or whatever gives him money to heavily renovate or build a new stadium. If they do, the Panthers will stay. If they don't, they will be gone. I would guess that they will give it to him but if the team stays on this course, who knows?

I would welcome a move as it would give me a great excuse to jump this sinking ship.

they have already allocated the money stream for it here in CLT.  600 mil from the city & 600 mil from Big Tepp ($1.2 Bs) to renovate BOA.

They've "discussed the framework" for such an agreement. It does seem highly likely that will end up happening, but it's far from a sure thing. Especially with the fanbase (and thus, the voters) so disillusioned with the team at the moment.

Another interesting thing to think about: If that does end up happening, a $1.2B renovation is likely something that would shut down the stadium for at least a season. Jacksonville's renovation is putting them out for 2 seasons, with a 3rd season where they won't be able to use their upper deck. Where do y'all think they would play? Would the team just play at Clemson again? Rotate around different college stadiums in NC & SC? It would be interesting to see play out.

Charlotte is one of the biggest markets in the country. He's not moving them.

As we've seen hes not the smartest guy in the football room but he knows money...which is all this is about... I could see him pulling an Art Modell... luck up on a GM and win a SB somewhere else...

At the current attendance they can just play at UNCC.

This is only really possible if he doesn’t get a new stadium within the next five or so years and even then it’s tough because this is a major east coast market.
 

just being hated by the public that ain’t enough to move the team. James Dolan been hated by Knicks fans for decades

There's really no "even then" about it. If he doesn't get the stadium, the team is gone. There is virtually no uncertainty about that. He has practically came out and said it. Exact quote was something like "We're not going to force a new stadium on the community, they have to want it."

There are several markets in the NFL that would never lose their team, regardless of a taxpayer financed stadium (but even those ones use nearby suburbs as leverage to get them). Charlotte is not one of them.

Tepper has already shown he'll pull out of a city he feels wronged him in Rock Hill (whether or not it's true). The only thing that will decide the fate of the Panthers in Charlotte is whether or not the city will pony up for the stadium or upgrades.

I’m pretty sure that he had a plan to use rock Hill as leverage, but without South Carolina as leverage I don’t see any path to getting a stadium built here in Charlotte

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
