That is not true and even KC won't give the their SB team a new stadium on tax payer's backs. Team owners looking to build or revamp big league sports stadiums often seek public funds in the hundreds of millions of dollars. But research conducted over decades indicates these investments almost never lead to massive economic gains for host cities. "Despite perennial claims from team owners that building new stadiums or revamping existing ones will result in a fiscal and jobs boom for a city or region, research consistently shows that the hundreds of millions of public dollars that are often outlaid are not typically a sound investment." It is most likely to be publicly funded profit for Tepper. 

You sound like someone that works for Tepper or if the bot found a chatGPT plugin. 

transplant city containing a large population of fans from all over, willing to pay to see their team play in person. with the stadium strategically positioned by hundreds of restaurants and bars.

show me a similar city in that research to charlotte. you go ask those businesses in uptown if it matters.

 

im not a bot but unlike you im actually a fan of the panthers and enjoy them in my city. you can go kick it in Raleigh and watch hockey.

by businesses you talking bars and restaurants right?  I mean we can argue the economic impact of professional sporting teams all day back and forth but aint no way Charlotte or meck county should be giving a man worth 23 billion a fuging penny of money.

The product in Raleigh is significantly better lol. And you can tailgate right outside the arena with 18,000 other fans - not 2 miles away in some parking deck.

Pass. 

1. it's hockey. (like watching pong, on the slow levels)

2. i've never once parked more than a 15min walk to the stadium. AND i get to enjoy the much better tailgate experience spread throughout uptown.

Well the facts point that it's not a good investment. LV makes a lot of sense but show me another city like LV. You are speaking pure emotions while you ignore the facts. 

And trying to diss the Canes when they are the only quality professional sporting product in NC is something the Panthers bot would say.

This deal is absolutely fugingt trash and I hope the voters tell him to blow it out his ass. 
 

421 million of the reported 570 comes over the next twenty years for anticipated “capital improvements,” which will probably be Jason aldean concerts and an in building mri machine for all the turf related acl tears. 
 

and he guarantees not to move the team for 15 years, so obviously he’s not paying anything out over the last five of the 20. 
 

Move the fuging team. Do it. Let San Antonio deal with this clown.

I don't blame anyone for wanting him to foot the bill. I agree honestly. Although at least he isn't being a total twat like other owners could be and demanding a new stadium entirely. But he doesn't have much leverage on that anyways considering the product on the field has been a steaming pile of poo and he's in large part to blame. This is at least a decent compromise overall.

In his own words, their consultants told him it made more sense just to renovate. 
 

he’s not doing this out of the kindness of his heart; he’s doing it because some dead eyed ghoul from Deloitte told him to.

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

Canes fan forum is somewhere else, why are you here? if you want to love on a team that plays a basic sport, go live in that city. no one even cares about it until playoffs. why bother?

Panthers want $650 million from Charlotte. In exchange they promise to stay for 20 years.

No one‘s talking about the 15 year agreement that would tie the team to the city so a lot of the “he’s trying to move the team away” takes can subside

Richardson pulled that promise not to move poo back in 2012-13 when he asked the city and state for money. I don't recall how long the deal was supposed to be for but it was something like 20 or 30 years.

Tepper can take the team elsewhere and pound rocks. Public money should never be used to fund a billionaire's hobby.

Great job Mr. Computer. So fiery and yet still just incoherent enough to be fun.

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.

Not after the product he's put on the field, no.

We're literally the laughing stock of the NFL. Richardson, Jeans Friday and all, at least had us as competent with the occasional special season.

      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.
