So if the Panthers move, you will no longer be a fan

[OBXPantha]

I would be more apt to not being a fan anymore if Diddy or any other idiot like him  buys the team. That includes Mark Cuban

I am just curious, so if the winds change and the Panthers move what will you do?  You will give up being a fan or stick with them?

depends on where they would move to...

Honestly, I'd probably stop watching the NFL all together.

It's only a matter of time until the NFL goes international.

The NFL are slowly dying in the US, what makes you think they will survive if they have teams outside the US?  I just don't see it.  It's a pipe dream.

The NFL is starting to resemble a traveling circus as they try to follow the money.  If a team starts losing money then their first thought is to move them to some city that will pony up the money for them to set up shop and start fleecing the fans of their new city.  That's how these scumbags work.

It's highly unlikely they move. If it did though, I honestly don't know what I'd do.

When the hornets moved I stopped being a fan, see no difference here

I sure as hell wont. I don't, and didn't give a damn about NFL until we had a team. If they leave...then i wont bother with daily logins to this site, and fighting laws to download CP games in Asia. I'm not a football fan as much as I am a Carolina Panthers fan.

St. Louis still wants a football team. The next owner will compare markets and costs to do so. New owner would want a new stadium elsewhere, and hopefully would be okay with BOA. If new owner comes in and demands the city build a new stadium, his team will dip. Which will, in turn, not be my team anymore.

They aren't moving, but no, I would no longer be a fan.

Depends on where they move. 

I don't want to have to be a Titans fan! I've tried following them and they're just always so dang boring. 

[CanadianCat]

I live in Canada - doesn't matter to me where they are located (sorry) but Ill be a panther fan for life.

Can’t see them moving a successful franchise.

Why does everyone all of the sudden think, change in ownership means relocation of team? The two have nothing to do with each other

The biggest reason for me, is because the majority of NFL teams have financial backing from their respected locations. The Panthers were privately funded until the stadium upgrades. Which gives the team a tether for a couple of years to the city of Charlotte. However, BOA is one of the oldest stadiums in the league now, and a new owner will probably want a new stadium within 5 to 10 years. Who will pay for it? <---The next city that wants a NFL team. That is how the Panthers will move, all Politics! If Charlotte doesn't pay, someone else will. <---This is my fear.

I can't see Charlotte levying a 1+ billion dollar tax scheme for its residence. New ownership, new stadium, it is possible regardless of success or ties to the community. Money talks.
