Looks like it still needs to be voted on on Monday, but I don't doubt it'll pass

[rayzor]

fine with me.

we won't be moving. wasn't really likely anyway.

of course the paranoid folks will keep on stressing about it "only 6 years???? WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

[The Golden Child]

good news.

[Donald LaFell]

what did we cut to make it 86 million?

[Scrumtrilescent]

All the good stuff.

[Floppin]

what did we cut to make it 86 million?

Well the public money portion anyhow. The team will contribute their own portion.

[4Corners]

Hopefully people from the upstate

[Donald LaFell]

so it's still 250 million in upgrades but the team gets less public money?

Not a bad deal at all.

After Cam wins a superbowl the politician tools will see how much revenue it can bring to the city/state and they'll be pissed they didn't make a longer deal...

[Argus Plexus]

****** politicians. Do they realize how much money our economy would lose if the Panthers left the Carolinas? Are they retarded? People just don't think ahead, an investment now can become positive returns in the future.

I'm glad they got it done but I don't understand why there was arguing about it.

Well in about 6 years doesn't the new CBA (?) negotioations form 2009 end? I hope JR doesn't 'plan' for another 'lockout' if he is still around.
