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 :)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
