*applying a generalized study of sports teams in american cities to a specific situation, is not "facts".

You are aware Charlotte isn't unique, right? Every other city has bars, restaurants, clubs, etc too. 29 other cities have NFL stadiums. You're just looking at things through your fandom and not logically at all. Here's some links about studies and how sports stadiums aren't the win their proponents think they are. Link 1, Link 2, Link 3

There's also older threads about the same topic with even more links here on the Huddle.

Good for Tepper he has provided an excellent quality product and showed to be a fine outstanding owner.  No better way to spend the money.  Hopefully he raises ticket prices a ton to help cover the half he paid to renovate the stadium so he can recoup some of the money.

The deal is already done.

I don’t love it, but at least he’s paying over 50% and the public money comes from hotel taxes which can’t be used for any other purpose.

I’d still prefer the tourism tax money be used for other non-sports construction, but it’s better than using property and sales taxes I guess.

If this tourism tax is a state fund, it's still a huge waste of money. There are 99 other counties in NC that want part of that money to draw tourism to them too. They won't get it if the state is giving that money to Tepper.

Just glad to see he’s wanting to stick with the current uptown location. 

The location is by far the best thing about that stadium.

I was genuinely shocked sitting in the upper deck when the whole tier began to shake - and that was the Cardinals game, so it was hardly popping. That's terrifying.

ME TOO! being a young expansion team, there is very little history to hold on to here but keeping one of the best stadium set ups in the league is a huge win. the location keeps the view and the tailgating in the city. i hate giant flat parking lot tailgating. being able to walk around uptown on game day to all the different tailgates spread out between the buildings and parks, is the best. 

We should aim to have the oldest stadium in the league and be proud of it.

It's nearly 30 years, bro. When will the 'young team' nonsense die?

Looks pretty decent but not sure where the 1.2 billion dollars is going. Looks like it should cost about half that

Sofi Stadium cost 5.5 billion build. The new bills stadium will probably be 3 billion when it’s all said and done. 
 

Welcome to 2024 construction costs

there are 13 and even most of those are still physically cutoff from the city by highways. (see pittsburgh) Plus, charlotte has a very diverse population and many transplants. we aren't a city based on tourism or entertainment. you want to believe it's the same but it aint.

BoA has one of the worst concessions in any arena I've ever been to - both quality and price. I hope they upgrade that. I don't understand not bringing in a bunch of food trucks to help and charging them a percentage or something...there should be a different food option at every concourse. Not a 20 minute line for some of the worst hot dogs, pizza, or old chicken strips you'll find anywhere

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By CRA · Posted

      it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed.  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
