Problems come up with possible Panthers HQ move to SC

[Captain Obvious]

If SC doesn't approve a move can we change that ugly ass draft hat?

Just read that article.  The Commerce Dept report factored in ALL employees moving to SC, which I think it nuts.  Sounds like they got a little over zealous with the numbers.  Still though, 1.1 billion is a pretty big impact to the State.

Move the Panthers to the Triad. Screw SC.

This guy's a freshman from Columbia. I think he's just being an ass about it to make a name for himself.

That’s what politicians do, and most are pretty good at it.

Tepper is pretty committed to the "two states" thing, so that's not happening.

It reminds me of recruiting "package deals" where a school has to take the blue chipper's buddy in order to get what they really want.

there are like 5 nice cities in SC

charleston

greenville

fort mill (might as well be NC)

columbia

hilton head

other than that yeah it sucks and rock hill definitely sucks, so it is dumb for us to want to move team HQ there (though I do hope it happens)

PS: i can be swayed that columbia sucks too but it has made some drastic improvements over the 10 or so years i've been here. still a stupid college town though.

You can shorten that list to Greenville and Charleston IMO . Hilton Head is just a resort, far from a "city". Columbia is a pure shithole. 

My wife went to CofC and I like Charleston, but I couldn't live there. The touristy aspect would drive me nuts pretty quickly and the traffic downtown is brutal. The Greenville area is the only area of SC I'd personally even consider.

We're talking business here though, not which state can win a pissing contest.

If it costs less to have your business headquartered in South Carolina, do you really think a guy like Tepper is going to ignore that because "North Carolina is better"?

(keeping in mind that this is the guy who used to complain about expensive coffee filters in his office)

How many businesses have already made the move to Fort Mill or elsewhere for similar reasons?

Agreed but living outside downtown is nice.  Mount Pleasant is lovely but expensive.  Surprisingly Mt Pleasant is listed as SCs 4th largest city.  The islands are great and Johns Island is insanely affordable but they will need to improve infrastructure.  I avoid downtown 355 days a year but its nice for date night or to go to the upper peninsula which is littered with chill restaurants and breweries.  Easy to enjoy Charleston and avoid the tourists assuming your job doesn't thrust you into them.
