Some of the listed renovations seem to be just fancy work, is this an attempt to host a future Superbowl? I always heard the state of a stadium always plays into the decision for where the game is played. I wish they did a better job moving the venue, each team should get an opportunity to host as it is a huge financial boost for a city.

Panthers twitter also posted that this is phase one of three in the renovation process, and will continue renovation over the next three years.

 

What other renovations could they be?

They'll probably repaint the place, renovate the suites, and do other cosmetic improvements in one of the phases.

Would be nice, however something about Charlotte not having the hotel accommodation space if I'm correct.

 the lack of drainage system to deal with the swimming pool effect in the lower deck when it rains. Or some kind of rest room modification to put more urinals in the bathroom. 

 

These two line items are not mutually exclusive.  Anyone can swim in it, given enough pee in the urinal

You can see at the stadium where they've started doing the preliminary work for the escalators.  My question is it looks like they end up outside, so do they have a gate before you get on the people movers?  That's gonna be interesting.  I was under the impression they were going to be set up to use after you get inside the concourses.  

 

The way I have seen it elsewhere is a gate outside the escalators. That was how it worked at old Giants stadium

This.

 

It's getting there, and things like the prez convention helps show that Charlotte can handle large-scale events.   But the Super Bowl does require a poo ton of logistics to make happen, and hotels are just one of the pieces.

 

So let's think 20 years down the line -- do we want BOA to be torn down and rebuilt next door (like they're doing in ATL), or do we want incremental updates like they've been able to do in Green Bay, Chicago to keep the history/location of their current stadium?

In order to secure a Super Bowl, I think you'd need to throw a roof on BOA Stadium. Charlotte is still a four-season town, and for better or worse, the League wants the Super Bowl to be in a warm climate or artificial climate. It's funny because ultimately winter towns like Minnesota that have domes are more likely to get a Super Bowl than us!

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
