Updates on the team sale

[cptx]

fug Bruton Smith and Brian France. That would probably be enough to make me give up sports completely. They ruined NASCAR, now they want to fug up my NFL team too. Great.

Sabates won't necessarily be the only one who wants a new stadium.  Other potential bidders could very easily feel the same.

The more it's discussed, the more it sounds like the "State Line" stadium idea has legs.

I guess I'm in the minority but I really like the State Line idea. It fits with the "two states, one team" mantra. I love BOA and will cherish the memories I've made there, but a new stadium embodying the team mantra makes too much sense. Not sure how I feel about it being a dome though. I like that the weather gives us an advantage in games at times cus dome teams aren't used to it

Building a stadium near Carowinds is one of the worst ideas ever.

Do tell why you hold that opinion.

I don't like domes (you might be able to talk me into the retractable roof as long as it doesn't look like a sphincter muscle) but I agree the "state line" idea is kind of cool given the "one Carolina" theme.

I get the feeling that given enough time NFL will be nothing but Domes

still waiting for belks and Levine’s to play their hand.

Agree.   Would think they would have the inside track.  At this point I want any group that does not include Sabates.  Do not want to have to listen to him for years to come.

So what is everyone’s best guess as to what would happen to current psl owners?  They are kidding themselves if they think I am ponying up what they would ask for a comparable seat (even with a “discount” offered”.

I'd hate that.

Hate to tell you but the Belks and/or the Levines might actually be part of Sabates group.

He mentioned it including a couple of current minority partners but didn't say who.

Enclosed is an official Kerry Collins bobble head

Keep Pounding!

What about the hotels everybody keeps talking about as a necessity for a Super Bowl? Would they really expect a ton of nice hotels to pop up at the state line?? I just don’t see that happening but then again what do I know

[ZoneRead]

ehhh state line...

[2jakefansinva]

just my 2 cents

as long as the new owner is not a Dannyboy clone like DC has........im good with it

The proposed site vs other stadiums built away from the city.

The proposed site for Sabates land

Foxborough...notice the entertainment and access via the main road.

Jerry world...more entertainment and access to I-30

The dump in landover. The road system is pretty good with easy access to the outer belt.

In all I believe the proposed site is simply just not good. Look at other stadiums that follow the same idea of being out away from the city.

There isn’t enough room to build a mall like the patriots have or hotel space and such.

the roads aren’t adequate and if you hate gameday Traffic now just you wait. All the other stadiums have a main way to get to the interstate...the one to 77 now is freaking 4 lanes.

but don’t worry...we have the fleamarket and the quarry just a block up...

F%#& THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

worst possible "local" group , France & Sabates, possibly Smith's ughhhh WTF!!!!

 

and then moving the team out of Charlotte to build a f'n DOME in Rock Hill?!!?? GO TO F'N BED SABATES, go sell some f'n cars.

[panthersphan]

What sounds more attractive to out of town fans coming into town for a Panthers game?

 

Stay (near/in) downtown, see the city the neighborhoods around Charlotte, go to bars/museums/restaurants/parks, and tailgate in a great downtown setting all over a wonderdful Panther-themed weekend in CLT or stay near Rock Hill, at the Days Inn, get Waffle House twice, Xaxby's once, hang out in their hotel room all weekend waiting for Sunday and tailgate in a giant parking lot with a sh¡tty Highway/Carowinds setting.....?
