If new owner wants a new stadium would you be mad if it’s not uptown?

Would you be upset if it’s moved from the uptown area?

Just saw this online and I would not be a fan. I know they want a new dome with parking. I honestly believe Sabates wants the parking more than anything. The part about Sabates knowing the owner personally rustles my jimmies.

Im trying to do research about this area and where exactly it is but the whole area is industrial if I recall. 

I love the tailgating nooks and the easy access to all the bars for after the game. 

If half the stadium is in SC and the other half in NC, how does police security, taxes, and ABC LAWS work?

What say you huddle? A minor break from the discussion of today’s small, no biggie, and no impact what so ever move today.

Just updated it with he land that is in question. The marked location is Old Man Miller’s Farm.

Where would it go in uptown except where it currently is? Wanna play at Clemson for years while the current stadium is torn down and rebuilt? That sounds like an awful situation.

True Uptown is packed and there is no where else to build unless you buy up a lot of land outside 277 and that price tag...yikes. I think it’s just the idea of change that bothers me but this new group is the definition of change.

Would be a HORRIBLE decision to move from Uptown CLT... I would definitely be against it.

 

The Panthers have an AWESOME thing going with the downtown setting, it's one of the best in the league. I'd be much more in favor of renovating/modernizing the current stadium (see: Solider Field), which could end up being still one of the best/most modern stadiums in the NFL, but also where it should be; Uptown CLT. You would think Local owners would know this, but you never know...

Yikes! Don’t fix something that isn’t broken.

I honestly think you’d be hard pressed to find any stadium situation in any sport in recent history that’d be more unnecessary, that the VAST majority do not want, yet that which the local media keeps ramrodding.

    • Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.
    • 3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9
    • Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
