Takes more than that.  Infrastructure improvments and lodging will require investments from both private and public sectors.

sure, but that doesn't have to do with the new stadium discussion.

It certainly will.  The new stadium will have parking requirements that will require permits and traffic studies.  Which will pull the state transportation department into it via politicians kissing ass.  Tax dollars will be spent to upgrade the highways around the stadium.  Hotels will have to be built and, well you get the picture. 

Tax payers always get it in the end.

my point is that Tepper can use the concept of Super Bowl as a strong argument to get funds for a new stadium.  Regardless of if Charlotte ever gets one, or even tries, he can use their desire for one.  If the city ever wants to have a Super Bowl, then they must have a new stadium.  The rest doesn't matter until they actually try to get a Super Bowl.

A lot of it will happen regardless.  Even upgrading the old stadium is going to require a massive investment by the city in infrastructure around the place.  Not to mention parking.  It's a domino effect.

The writing is already on the wall, whether there are plans yet or not.  Proactive speculation based on concrete facts and patterns of behavior elsewhere at other times. Take Minnesota  for example. They used Goodell to leverage the stadium during the 11th hour.  Take Oakland for another one--no new stadium, the owners approve a move to Vegas.   Do you think he WON'T try for a new stadium?  That could lead to a threat to move the team if he does not get it, and Richardson showed us  how people will react.  Tepper is a businessman.  Objective.  I will say that he will do what they did in Minnesota in 3-5 years.

Minnesota built the Metrodome on the cheap in the early 80s, their roof collapsed, and the LA threat was real.  No comparison.

If it brings in 81 home MLB games and dozens of soccer games (MLS) as well, then ok, the city should “play ball”.  But that’s practically inconceivable in 2018 for many reasons, so h*ll to the no.

You prepared to lose the Panthers then?

I don’t love the thought but I’m prepared to risk it based on principles and common sense.

The 15+ million people in the Carolinas should be talking about luring the A’s or Rays now instead of losing the Panthers over a TOOTHLESS threat.

I'm more concerned about having a large ticket price increase next year.  That will affect fans now instead of years from now (if a new stadium happens).
