That's what we said about the Hornets. We lead the NBA in attendance for years with one of the largest arenas in the league. There was no way the NBA would ever let them move our team.Duh..

Hornets attendance plummeted the last 2-3 years and was at the bottom of the league. Also, the NBA immediately placed a new team in Charlotte. The league did everything it could to keep Shinn from moving, when that failed they gave Charlotte a new team.

Also, I'm pretty sure there was some kind of deal between the NBA and city of Charlotte that they wouldn't relocate the new team.

The wild card will be a new owner and what will surely be a request for public $$ for either a new stadium or more upgrades. I would rather they just keep improving BofA. I love the stadium.

hey i own and run a successful profitable private business, where do i sign up to get in on all this free public money

How does your business affect the area? Does it contribute by bringing thousands of people looking to drink, eat, and other ways of spending money?

I don't recall the attendance plummeting for 2 or 3 years at the Hornets games. We had a great team in the end..

 

Also I don't recall any long tern deal with the NBA that says the Hornets can't just up and move as long as it has the owner and league approval.

I don't mean to question everything that you said, but I don't know all the facts either.

Don't the Panthers have like the 5th or 6th largest home market in the entire NFL? Everybody considers Carolina one of the bottom 5 teams in terms of market size but I believe it's actually the exact opposite.

Not only that, but team value as well, easily in the top half. This thread, and the mere idea that more public funds are needed anytime for at least a generation or more, is a joke.

Goodell wants a team in London within 5-10 years..... Hmm

I don't understand his obsession with moving a team to London, it will ALWAYS be behind European football and maybe even tennis in that market.  There are a handful of smaller US. markets that could support a team better than London.  That being said, as long as we can get the ownership worked out for after Jerry Richardson, I don't see this team moving anywhere.

There is no way in hell the league would approve the move of Carolina, a team that sells out every single game, while the Jaguars are still in Jacksonville and struggling to fill half their stadium.

I might be naive, but I just don't see the Hornets/Panthers ever moving.

Problem with attendance when it comes to Carolina is it doesnt matter. If it wasn't for PSL'S then we wouldn't have sold out during the Jimmy Clausen years. If the team builds a new stadium? Guess what, all those PSL'S dont mean diddly poo. They could make a new psl program for a new stadium or fund it privately. They can still threaten to move to L.A. and it could still affect us.
