Updates on the team sale

For all those that complain about the current wine and cheese crowd BOA seems to attract can you imagine the amount of wine and cheese that could be served in a domed stadium with climate control and cushioned seats?

Ew

Carolina Huddle bid coming in around the $3 billion mark.

I'm not getting a good vibe about any of these potential owners.  

[Popsickle]

If you want to draw more people to games, lower the damn ticket price, not build a gazillion dollar stadium and charge more for tickets and parking.

Some Charlotte people think they're the center of the universe. I've experienced it with car clubs and running groups. If the stadium gets moved out of uptown I'll get hernia surgery from laughing.

All news owners are going to want a new stadium to maximize their profits. And because of the shiny new toy thing too. Both.

Maybe, but when all is said and done, they'll have the Raiders and Oakland won't.

If folks think that couldn't happen here, think again.

For God’s sakes, it WILL NOT HAPPEN HERE.  Oakland is a motherfugging dump, has a motherfugging dump stadium from the 60s, is second fiddle in the Bay market, and is one of 4 teams in the broke state of California.  Leaving 15+ million football fanatics in the Carolinas and growing, corporate Charlotte with a 20 year old stadium and NOWHERE to go?  NOT.

Whys everyone hate sebates so much?

It's better to just simply renovate the stadium. Replacing a football Stadium with something along the lines of an MLS arena is stupid.

Yes and no. Those things are all true, but a stadium deal would 100% be a reason the new owners would try and move. But I doubt it comes to that

Lowering ticket prices doesn't get you parking revenue, additional concessions and big money major events.

A fancy new stadium can get you all of those things, and the inflow of cash that comes with them.

Neither is Sabates, he's a millionaire puffing his chest trying to play in a billionaires club

He's not claiming to be the majority owner, though.  Nor has he identified who is.

Sounds like it's gonna be France.

They could build a new stadium. The Panthers couldn't play there. Unless they refund every PSL owner.
