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wrong time, the design of stadiums completely changed less than 10 years after it was built and it very quickly became outdated because of it.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

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
