Only 3 teams have older stadiums than us w/no renovation plans


Recommended Posts

Bank of America Stadium is the 13th oldest stadium in the league, but 10 of those have either received extremely major renovations or are getting ready to or are getting ready to move into a new stadium.

Only Buffalo (1973), Jacksonville, St. Louis (1995) have older stadiums with no real upgrade plans in the works.

What do you think will be in the works for us in the next decade? Major stadium renovations or a new stadium?

It was state of the art when it was made. Considering how long it took JR to shell out some dough for an incredibly modest big screen I don't see any renovations coming.

Seriously the big screen is small. I've only been to one game since it was redone and it's stanky.

Not really sure what needs to be updated. Maybe a Godzillatron like UT has? Not really necessary but OK.

The clubs are nice, the box seats plentiful and I can't think of a section that's just dreadful to sit in. The stadium isn't any kind of forward thinking architectural masterpiece, but nothing in Charlotte really is. Can't think of much reason at all to change much.

BOFA is still state of the art...I honestly can't see anything happening here for at least another 20 years...look at Atlantas shithole...they upgraded the Club Level and put some new seats in....Katrina made New Orleans dome more modern...if it were not for that then they would have done the same as Atlanta...just upgraded the interior....in other words...why change what is already good?

Update the horrendous TV's around the pavilions.

Just put in a LED strip on either side of the stadium and a bigger jumbotron.

Stadium is in great shape and always clean.

But feel free to keep bitching about something else that is pointless SMF. You are most amusing.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
