Still must be approved by Charlotte City Council and a team must be awarded, although widely believed inevitable due to no MLB team and few southeast teams.

Panthers related since Bruton and Marcus Smith had mentioned wanting a piece of the team at some point and are ponying up over $200 million for the entry fee and stadium for MLS.

This was way too rushed. How can you make an informed decision on such a large economic commitment and burden on tax payers in such a short period of time. Have there been studies on traffic and all that good stuff. As a tax payer I'm concerned. I'm not against it but due diligence is a must for me and my tax money.

can't they just pay for it primarily with PSL licenses like the Panthers did?

 

oh wait they would need people interested enough in soccer to pony up the cash never mind. It's another NASCAR Hall of Fame thing...oh Bruton Smith is involved, where all the fans of his other sport rail against government spending LOL

I would pony up some money for psls but I doubt he could sell 20,000 of them at roughly 3 grand each.   

That price isn't in line with the MLS Season fees. They range anywhere from $320 to $650. Between 17-20 games depending on playoffs etc.

That's what I'm saying. I just divided the 47 million by 20,000 (probably more seats than the stadium would hold) and it was like 2400

Blah blah blah.  MLS has a deadline, January 31.  That's it.  2-4 teams will be named because there will be at least 4 of the 10 cities with the sense and backing to get it done, rushed or not.  CLT had the backing (Smith), but not the sense.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
