Hopefully more cities follow suit. When is Charlotte up for this?

Our stadium isn't publically owned. Theirs is. So a bit more fair for them to invest in a revenue stream. 

We definitely shouldn't because Tepper owns the stadium and gets all the revenues

Can't figure out where these billionaires got the idea that the common worker should pay their taxes and expenses. 

 

And the tickets and the parking and the jacked up concessions and the merchandise...

Hmmm, I think I figured out how they are billionaires.

Good. Every economic study that I'm aware of that has looked into the issue has concluded that use of public funds for sports stadiums is a terrible investment.

Ehh, they never do a study on the town after they leave, pretty poor studies that dont include a lot of datapoints and are limited in scope to be honest and they often leave out a lot, the size of the city is def going to impact economic calculations, as well as the absence of the team, and lack of tax income from their employees . However we can see from St Louis that they are losing $115M a year since the Rams left based on their lawsuit settlement a couple years ago with the NFL. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/24/nfl-and-rams-reach-more-than-700-million-settlement-in-st-louis-relocation-case-report-says.html
 

$1 billion in public funds over 20/30 years for $115M per year in return isn't a bad deal. St Louis was already falling off a cliff population growth wise when the Rams left but by God if their decline hasn't sped up instead of slowed down since they left.

Sure, if you are a major metropolitan area, tell the NFL to shove it up their ass, but if you're a small or medium sized city, tread with caution.

This is a good read that seems to explain things a bit

Same way the became billionaires. Stole it. 

listen tepper worked very hard moving numbers around a spreadsheet to get the money on paper to buy up deliquent debt for pennies on the dollar that the government cleared for massive profits and if you have a problem with this well then you're not an AMERICAN

seriously panthers fans should try to make something out of the horror show this team has become and examine the systems that permit a moron like david tepper to make enough fake fun bucks to buy the team and run it into the ground. 

"Well he made a lot of money so....."

to quote Dorothy Parker, "If you want to know what God thinks about money, look who he gave it to."

I mean just look at South End and Noda Development vs 1st Ward. 

im willing to pay for a stadium if the city owns it and largely benefits from it. Also if it dictates if the owner can move the team or not. It never feels worth it.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
