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 :)

      I see the issues with Tyreek, which is why I put an asterisk on him and all the way on the bottom. I don't even see him playing at all this entire year since he hasn't even been seen working out at all. But I do not think he's as hard to play with as Stefon Diggs is IMO and Tyreek is more of a game changer. But either way, it's pie in the sky.  Always loved Keenan and he is from the Carolinas so that's really the only thing that may interest him playing here if no one is giving him any calls to play.

      It's not that I'm not rooting for him to do well, but I'd be lying if I said him having a good season wouldn't scare me after what we've seen out of him so far. I'd be afraid of it just being one of those situations you see all the time, a player is in a make it or break it season, they somehow raise their level of play to new levels, and then proceed to immediately drop back off a cliff the next season (although this does usually happen in contract years, not a player trying to not get cut). Now, if you tell me that no matter how well he plays, we're then going to flip him for a draft pick in the offseason, then yea, I'd want him to go off for a monster season so we can get a better return.

      Helllllllllllllll no on Tyreek, not even on a vet minimum and if he was playing at his peak abilities. We have way too young of a WR room to bring that head case into the locker room, there is just no way I want him around any of our WRs.  The things that make him great aren't things that can be taught, they're his natural born athletic gifts, so there isn't anything useful he can teach our guys and would just be a bad influence on them. Same goes for Stefon Diggs. Allen I'd love, he'd be a great mentor for T-Mac and Coker, but I doubt he plays anywhere other than with the Chargers or a legit true SB contender this year (and only small odds on the latter there, likely Chargers or nothing I'd guess).
