Interest in a Superbowl

...in Charlotte?

I know the field conditions predicate nearly everything nowadays...not to mention big markets...

but with Charlotte's growth + Newton's national status + the DNC, could they help prop this town up enough over the next few years for a bigger spot in the country's scope or does the current attitude in the league about the Super Bowl being "perfect" for the fans supersede all?

I think we have some places together in this city that it could happen pending if JR is smart with upgrades over the next few years in the stadium. We're kinda due for at least a modest upgrade at the scale of the league's smallest HD screens a few years back.

So, anyone think we'll ever...ever have a chance?

Another high thought: If the NFL & NBA paired up beyond their probowls/allstar games to do a one game annual switcheroo...could that market well? I think it could make bank.

EVER have a chance? Sure - why not. Anything is possible in the long run.

Will it be any time soon? No I honestly don't think it will. Charlotte is not a chic city with a national reputation NOR do we have a wealth of sports history to draw on. Despite the relative size of the city and the growth I still get people who think it's in South Carolina, that "Carolina" is a state and North / South are just regions, or that tell me there's no NFL franchise in Charlotte. Hell I've heard people from CLEVELAND (tiny and podunk?) look at a Charlotte skyline picture I keep in my living room and say "huh - I didn't know Charlotte was a real city".

lol Charlotte is way too small to handle something like the super bowl. Is there a city with a smaller population (not market) with a NFL team? I think the we are surely one of the smallest if not the smallest. The weather shouldn't matter.

welcome to charlotte!

here's where the penguin used to be!

You can do better than that.

How about: This is where a place called Midtown Squares existed with the most epic Burlington Coat factory and wolf camera!

or....

This used to be an awesome place where'd all of Charlotte would go as the South Park alternative. Damn South Park, with that old Charlies Restaurant attached in front and the movie theater out back. But I'm talking old school Eastland Mall...the place with the only ice skating rink (pre-Icehouse)...not that new craptastic Carolina de Nord

Don't forget the Checkers games off Independence

or maybe that indoor min-mall thing that used to be off Sharon Amity & Randolph...with the Spoons! Spoons was tha poo

Would love it but i don't think it will ever happen. Just not a sexy enough city. I know that poophole Jacksonville hosted one but from what i understand the league wasn't none to happy with the showing. I don't think they will look to places like Charlotte, Nashville or even St Louis.

St. Louis for sure. That place is a pure sh*t hole. I mean that in a good and bad way depending on where you're coming from reader of this text :)

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
