I wasn’t aware of that either, the HQ and hotel part

I think, in the future, that if municipalities are pretty much required to levy a tax to support these kinds of renovations, or rebuilds, then the amount of money should be weighed against purchasing that percentage of ownership of the team.

Imagine having 1 million Charlotteans as 30% stakeholders in the Panthers. 

Yeah, that would scare team owners into financing their own massively profitable ventures.

Still no grass.

Gonna be weird seeing a roof over the stadium

So the jaguars are building the "stadium of the future"for roughly the same cost

Weird how little coverage there is of this. What's the deal that got this going because I haven't heard of any being made between the Panthers and the local government?

There was a discussion about it for over a year.  $1.2B split between Panthers and the city.  Almost certain they will put a roof over BofA and probably add more seats.  Locals are pissed about the expense so city and Tepper kept it hush hush.

Honestly the city view was one of the perks of the stadium…to have it replaced with a dome seems asinine…

You think the teppers are going to make a smart decision?

The fact that we still haven't went back to a grass field still infuriates me. The fans, the players, and most of the people involved with the team want the field switched back to a grass playing field but for some reason the 2nd richest owner in the league who makes a good profit on the team and who is gonna pay a pretty penny to renovate the stadium and receive a good bit of the tax payer dollar to do so still thinks that the cost to keep and maintain a grass playing surface is too expensive but will roll out the grass red carpet for a Soccer team to come play here for 1 game. If it was something genuinely undoable then I'd understand but JR who was FAR from the richest owner in the league was able to do it so there is no reason for Tepper not to except for the sole reason of him being cheap. JR despite all of his faults wanted the team to feel unique to the Carolinas whereas Tepper is too focused on trying to make us feel like a generic run of the mill NFL team and has pretty much killed the culture of the team in the process.
