I could see Tepper moving the team.

I wouldn't mind heading to Asheville to watch a Panthers game.

 

Just have the stadium with the great smoky mountains in the backdrop.

Tepper is not moving the team, he is digging in, and it's pretty obvious with all the moves he is making,  enquiring about property and actually acquiring property.

That's kind of what I thought.  He seems interested in building his portfolio in Charlotte to me...

just piling on the fact that ATX/SATX is an exploding market and will 100% have an NFL franchise sooner than later. Will it be the Panthers? Probably not. But will the NFL have a team there? 100%.

Zero chance he moves the Panthers.

If the NFL is going to EXPAND, they'd be looking at London or Mexico City first to get the ball rolling for more International play.

If Austin is going to get a team, it would more likely be a relocation -- like how the Bills previously threatened to move there.  But.. the Dallas area is clamoring for an AFC team (since New York and LA both have two teams in their metro areas) so there's potential for that to happen before Austin.

Still, as many others have said in this thread - the NFL likes having a team in the Charlotte/Carolinas area. While fans may be sour on the current edition of the team, Tepper has shown he's willing to throw $ around (still would have liked to have seen the Rock Hill facility built out, even if local gov't couldn't figure it out)

So they can be shitty in another part of the country?

No chance either happens, ever.  It's the National Football League, not International.

The Panthers are here to stay, the business climate in the region is just too damn good to ever look elsewhere.

That's just it, he's not going to get a better deal elsewhere.

"International House of Pancakes" didn't start as an international business. 

A more serious counterpoint: MLB's "World Series" is not World Wide.  

Better example: KFC is not isolated to Kentucky, and the three-letter branding de-emphasizes the original "Fried" name. The NFL can get by as an international brand, even with "National" as part of their name.

Care to walk us through the economics of player compensation for the owner/players of an NFL franchise domiciled in London?  Maybe compare & contrast with with the owner/players of say, Miami?

This economic analysis doesn't appear to cover the specifics you're asking about with regard to player compensation - but it does show the type of analysis that London and the NFL go through for some cost/benefit work:

They only remember Charlotte FC exists when it comes to time to complain about how he "cares more about soccer than football".
