Are important dates concerning the vote on using current monies for BoA stadium upgrades. If the vote passes thursday, then a major hurrdle is cleared. Like it or not with public money tied to the stadium, this will give local gov. a little more leverage in tying the Panthers to Charlotte and the Carolinas someday when we get a new owner. Fingers crossed.

There is a lot at stake. The vote will definitely pass.

Not looking good. State is not going to step up and the city is going to fall way short. probably get a 5 year tether if that. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/04/09/3969342/city-help-for-panthers-likely.html

Pisses me the fug off.

A little part of me would like to see them move just to throw up a big middle finger to those that oppose the funding. If the city and state aren't willing to step up to compete with other major sports cities and states, then we don't deserve a team. Steeler fans. Skins fans, Bills and Cowboys fans can just go about watching their shitty teams at home on TV. Meanwhile until we do move, JR should make BofA stadium off limits to any and all state or city use.

Can someone please explain to me why they wouldn't pass the prepared food and beverage tax?

That seems like a no-brainer and also one that would not put a huge burden on the public.

Are there ramifications for restaurant and bar owners that i'm not aware of?

Because there are an incredibly # of liberals...and yankees....living in Charlotte that seem to think that any extra monies need to go to people that choose to sit at home and not work. Give me an escalator, Hi-Def Screens and a cold beer baby.......GO PANTHERS!!!!!!

The state wouldn't approve it, yet its a local food tax. Not sure if its the states business. They said no to the $62 million from the state. The Charlotte restaurant trade association approved it. If the opinions of the anti-food tax folks on here are any indication, the argument boils down to "why should a rich bazzilionaire get my tax dollars!!11!" Well, he's not going to now so the libs and progressives got what they want from a conservative Governor and state legislature. We are the one city/state of the 32 NFL teams that does not value having an NFL franchise. I think the new owner should move the team.

The government should not pay for infrastructure improvements for private organizations. So what if the community benefits and all that other job creation, local business crap. Who cares. I think they should spend tax money on more meaningful and traditional government programs such as snail mating rituals and examining pig feces. We shouldn't even think about funneling money away from those things. You folks just don't understand how government works...*

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
