The Carolina Panthers are hurtling towards threats of relocation

Charlotte City Council will hear statements from the public on Monday about whether or not taxpayers believe $650M in revenue should be given to Tepper Sport Entertainment (TSE) to renovate Bank of America Stadium as part of a $1.3B proposal to upgrade the home of the Panthers.

Fans anticipated that any redesign for the stadium would include either a full or partial dome, which would allow for the city to host a Super Bowl, as well as other clear-cut amenities for fans. Instead the first stage of the revamp (and the only guaranteed changes) are largely superfluous, outside of restrooms.

Essentially we’re seeing some basic infrastructure being pitched as a tourism improvement, with the veiled threat being that if these aren’t delivered then there’s no guarantee the Panthers will stay in Charlotte.

Anyone who thinks we can host a Super Bowl are sadly mistaken. I have no idea if this is a good deal for the city but I can ensure you there is nothing short of $3-4B that could get us a Super Bowl. And that is not on the table and nor should it be

Where are they going to go? If he moves the team so be it it. It's his tram now so he can do whatever he wants to do with it.

It was a good thing until he bought it and ran it into the basement of the nfl. Good luck getting other owners to help you out with their support David.

I mean where would they even move? St Louis? Portland? Virginia maybe if he tried to represent the entire state (p. risky imo)? The fanbase hates him and he's failed miserably twice over in negotiations now. He has no leverage. They can call any of his bluffs with "Go right ahead and slash your profits then". I couldn't care less about what happens to Charlotte but the city has no reason to let itself get robbed for the sake of whatever 3-win turd the team'll be this year. Would be nice if they sent a message.

Virginia is Redskins... uh lol Commanders territory.

I would bet Europe probably. Munich Panthers. London Panthers. Wherever Tepper wants to live they could make it happen considering the hard on the NFL has for going global. Hell he could go to Mexico City, Paris, Rome, Brussels, Zurich...

Can you even imagine the absolute trashfire that would ensue not just from an NFL team being in Europe with all of the travel and whatnot, but also it having David Tepper as the owner??? Holy poo that'd be one for the ages.

    • The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46
    • Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.   
    • That better not be the case. They need to be ready week 1. The easiest part if their schedule is the first few fames
