If he buys all the pipe and foundry land, there is 20+ acres on the other side of 277. I am sure a parking deck would be part of that plan, if not in the entertainment district he is planning. But y'all need to remember....Tepper isn't in this for a few million bucks a year in parking revenue. He is worth almost 15bil. He probably wipes his ass with 2mil a year. A modest return of 5% on his worth is $750,000,000/yr. He is playing the long game. What is worth more long term...a mixed use entertainment district in uptown Charlotte, or a parking lot that brings in a few mil a year? Everything is a long term play, not a quick money grab.

Keep digging that hole...because you like to leave out the important parts: Crossland and Tepper Sports are still investing 200mil to create commercial real estate space, a public park, soccer and recreational sports fields, a grocery store, affordable housing and additional residential offerings. It just isn't an MLS team HQ anymore. Its cute that you like to stir the pot, you just aren't that good at it. Peace out, enjoy your Waze guided drive to get fireworks and booze off of Carowinds Blvd this weekend.

I dunno…maybe you should pay attention more to economic development news? He has clearly stated in the media about his desire to build an entertainment district around the stadium. I dunno…there might be an empty 33 acre lot uptown that his current stadium sits on. Plus another 20 acres of Pipe and Foundry land on the other side of 277 (assuming he buys all of their property). But please tell me more of your “make Steele Creek great again” plan.
-
You should probably stick to sports as I don't think "economic development" is in your wheelhouse. Tepper is going to make a great deal money by developing the area around an uptown stadium. No one is developing anything off of Carowinds Blvd. Its a sea of warehouses and distribution centers. Please, just stop with Carowinds being "possible". It's not. It's a poo location. It's currently a profitable business. It isn't going to be redeveloped in his lifetime. It's just as "possible" that he buys Crowders Mountain and bulldozes and puts it there.

LOLOLOL. You think 70k people leaving on Carowinds Blvd is going to be quicker for almost everyone...apparently you have never even been to Carowinds on a weekend. Any yes, I am sure it would be cheaper to buy out a theme park that whos parent company brings in revenue of about 1.5bil a year. Their value is almost that of Tepper.

It would actually be a pretty big boost for Rock Hill. Getting your small cities name in hundreds/thousands of by-lines only helps (I mean unless you are beating black people at a gas station). Plus there would be be hundreds of rooms booked down there. I am sure press will be allowed back next year. I am sure they will bid on for 2024+ We know they have already bid on the draft and I am sure Roger is eventually throw a bone to his richest owner.

Panthers add to coaching staff (exclusive)
gofightwin replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
I would assume half of a TE coach’s job is analyzing and scouting the defense his TE were playing against, no? -
Speaking of the guys who call Panther games: Steve Smith, Sr.

Jim is good in pre-season but he is best as color guy IMHO. Taylors play by play delivery is smooooth (so much better than Mic). -

I think Taylor would be a great option. He has a lot of energy on the college games I would catch him on. He has a lot of other play by play duties but if Tepper wants him, he can surely afford him. -
Two Teens Arrested For Thomas Davis Home Break In
gofightwin replied to KatsAzz's topic in Carolina Panthers
But also: TD (and family) should be given a spanking by the police and their insurance company for having unlocked cars in the driveway...which probably had a garage door opener in it...and spare keys to a $300k car laying on the counter. I had the same thing happen to me in the Montford area. Stole my Highlander when I forgot my keys in my car. Police officer, "that wasn't very smart, was it?" Found my car two weeks later when it showed up on the license plate scanners around town, police chase ensured, ditched the car on 85 and ran (and never caught). I had a totaled car and a nice mark on my insurance. I was totally to blame. -
Tepper says "no way in hell" he'll build a dome
gofightwin replied to Captain Morgan's topic in Carolina Panthers
I'm sure he is thinking retractable roof. -
My dad got a heart transplant 23 years ago and still going strong at 74 years old. He is a bit of an outlier on length of success but here's hoping for a long long life with their son. A transplant will be scary situation for sure but the advances in transplant success are great. Now if they could come up with a better solution than countless anti-rejection drugs they have to take for the rest of their life...

That doesn't really answer the question tho. If they change number for 2022, do they continue to sell "22" merch this year? That seems stupid unless they just sell inventory and then not make another "22" jersey for 9 months. But who is going to buy a full price jersey if they know they are changing next year.
-
So they wouldn't make any more 22 gear to sell for a year? That wouldn't seem likely as I am 100% sure he is our best selling jersey number.
-
You think he is going to pay $1.5m just so he can wear a different number on his chest? LOL. He is rich, not wealthy. No one can "afford" to throw away 1.5m and getting nothing in return, except for stupid wealthy people. Now if they could roll that 1.5m into his charity and he gets the number, maybe, as that's a tax write off.

Nick Goings and it isn't close. He was 4th on the depth chart in 2004 and ended up averaging 100+ yards a game for the last 8 games of the season. And in 2005 played a big part in our playoffs before he got hurt in NFC championship. Then he hardly ever saw a snap again.

It happened in California but OK.

Making a tackle and being where you were supposed to be are two very different things.
