Question did you attend games in Clemson? Has your family owned PSLs since the Panthers were born? Does your family name reside on the Panthers outside the stadium? 

I'm guessing not and it's why you think a dome is a bad idea. 

Yes. 

Yes. 

Yes. 

And I’ve attended Panthers games in Houston, Miami, Tampa, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Washington, Baltimore, Buffalo, East Rutherford, and San Francisco for the Super Bowl.

Anything else? Do I need to prove myself more to you? 

Football is played in the elements. BOA is a beautiful stadium. If you want to watch an indoor team or a concert, maybe football isn’t for you.

Benson owns the Saints and Pelicans so unless there were new regulations introduced after 2012, I'm sure it could still fly.

Benson already owned the Saints when he bought the Pelicans. 

On the flipside, when Stan Kroenke was looking at becoming majority owner of the Rams, the NFL had him do some transfers of his interests in the Nuggets.

So yeah, if you're already an NFL owner and you want to buy into another sport, probably not a lot of opposition to that. But if you're the owner of another sport team, then the league will make you jump through some hoops.

You'll find it in a lot of the discussion about Cuban. One of the big reasons he doesn't want to buy an NFL team (besides his opinion of the league) is what they'd make him do with his Mavericks ownership.

Not necessarily. The NFL doesn't like cross ownership. Might be okay for Sabates as a minority owner on both ends but a majority owner with a stake in another team would probably have to sell it.

Cross ownership is fine as long as it is same major market.  Only have to look at NO to find it happening.  They bent the rules because they wanted the giant relocation fee from Rams owner

See above.

They're willing to work around some things, but they're not big on new owners already having ownership in other sports.

Possibly so, I see what you're saying.

Why do you think you need to? 

 

Football is football and what elements do you get in carolina football? Extreme heat? Rain? A dome would allow us to host a super bowl and allow the Panthers to play in a consistent environment. I can tell you this. I enjoy hockey just as much indoors than freezing my ass off at the winter classic.

No, it wouldn't. It's already been said several times what the reasons are that Charlotte doesn't have the necessities to host a Super Bowl. A dome is not one of them.

New York had an open air Super Bowl. No dome.

Dome is one of them. Just because one of the largest cities in the US.

Think about the potential owners. They're NASCAR guys who make their money from sponsorship deals, not by selling tickets and managing a home fan base.  What better platform to continue that than a new stadium? The Panthers are an afterthought.

I'd rather the new owners invest in the team and staff and win a Super Bowl rather than try to host one.  It's the better formula... Look to Seattle, Denver, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New England, and Green Bay. Super Bowl wins, back to back winning seasons, the fans keep coming...no domes.

They let the Pegulas buy the Bills and they owned the Sabres already. So they will drop that rule of the owner is right.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
