BOA is less than 30 years old. Our society really has to get over this urge to dispose of everything to get a new shiny object.

BOA was built at the very wrong time, the design of stadiums completely changed less than 10 years after it was built and it very quickly became outdated because of it.

It might have been the exact same stadium if built 10 years earlier, but if built 10 years later it would have been modernized in design and functionality.  Just look at something like Ford Field, that was opened in 2002, it's en entirely different generation of football stadiums and opened not too long after BOA.

Does it function well for the purpose of NFL football games? Absolutely. That's really all that matters. If Tepper wants to foot the bill to pay for his stadium, fine. Have at it. But that's not going to happen. He's going to want the city to pay for it. fug that. There's way better uses for those hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars.

there's also a functional difference in design of enclosed/domed stadiums vs pure outdoor venues outside of southern california

      Interesting topic.  I have had a few NFL friends and one told me that he could not work out or train unless the activities and facilities were approved. AI: In many NFL contracts, certain activities are restricted, and injuries sustained during those activities can lead to the voiding of contract guarantees or even the entire contract. These restrictions often include dangerous activities like skydiving, rock climbing, or even engaging in contact sports like boxing. Additionally, injuries sustained while working out at non-team facilities or during personal recreational activities may be classified as "non-football injuries," potentially impacting the player's compensation.    Having said that, I question the reason the person filming this was not helping.  Secondly, the decision to put it on social media makes it seem a bit prearranged.  I do not think this would violate his contract, but I do think it is a bit stupid on his part in that he could be injured.

      Doesn't make it right.  And as you put it, you wanted to ban him from being country, which is essentially policing who he is as a person lol  I get protecting the "asset", but banning people from living their life is crazy. Russell Wilson likes to play helicopter pilot.  I would deem that WAY more dangerous.  Those things scare me.  I still wouldn't want to keep him from doing it if I were his boss.  I would just try not to think about it, haha.

      Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.
