Sebates has less money that Diddy. Won’t happen.

A dome is a great idea. It would bring in tons of extra money and would make our home one of the loudest places to visit. 

Serious question: do you actually attend games? 

I would probably stop attending games if they built a dome. 

The thought of Charlotte taxpayers spending two billion on a stadium with the hopes of hosting one Super Bowl ever is ludicrous. Especially when BOA is still an incredible open air stadium. I go to many games at home and on the road. The thinking that a dome is needed is beyond awful.

It's a group, not him individually

I should have put a question mark after that...but he hinted that it wouldn't be much more than $2B

Team is valued at 2.1b dollars, 370m of that is BOA stadium, 1.5b is shared money of the NFL.

No Super Bowl. They've already said there weren't enough hotel rooms.

The city will eventually have enough hotel rooms to support the superbowl. But as a fan all I care about is the team playing in the superbowl.

Just cover the seating area.  Hard rock stadium in miami is older and the same style bowl setup etc.

They spent 350 mil for a complete renovation.  And its real nice, their going to host  superbowl now.

 

Just go that route and renovate

That's why you build the new Stadium outside of Charlotte but with in 45 minutes, so you get extra hotels and can build more up around where the stadium is built in a complex type of site.

I don’t mind the heat, but anything less than 45 degrees is too cold to be outside. Build the dome.

Will have to look this Sebates guy up.

They don’t need a new stadium in general. Unfortunately it looks like this stadium issue isn’t going to go away. 

[Mr. Scot]

"Need" is a funny word when you're talking about a billion dollar stadium.

I chuckle at the football purist rage posts about having to play in the elements or it isn't real football. We're in North Carolina dude. Calm down.
