Look at this in the bigger picture of the team and the NFL. If Tepper were to stand down from this project, what does he have to go back to? That's right, Jerry Richardson's old house.

And if Tepper does decide to stand down in Rock Hill, he's making a huge bet against not very good odds the NFL will allow him to move the team, because that's about the only option he has left.

And, if he's as petty as some of you claim, how good is he at swallowing his pride and moving back to Charlotte, tail between his legs with no new buildings in Rock Hill, no NFL approval to move and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg population refusing to up their property taxes to once again renovate an old stadium.

Does Mecklenburg county not have a grant program for arts/culture/recreation? Here in Wake county, a portion of hotel occupancy taxes and prepared food tax is set aside to incentivize these sorts of projects. If the Mudcats want to upgrade their stadium or the Hurricanes want a new arena, Wake County has a fund they can draw from to bankroll that sort of things if the county finds a benefit in doing so for whatever reason. Nobody's taxes gets raised and locals don't pay for it, unless you happen to stay in a hotel here often and eat out constantly.

Yes Meck county has that. It makes the county $150 million a year but all those funds are committed for the foreseeable future.

Oh I think the NFL would let him move in a second. They're the ones who steered him to become the owner in the first place.

So, if he moves and Charlotte/The Carolinas brings a lawsuit ala St. Louis/Missouri did  against Korenke and the Rams to the tune of 790 million, the fee would be greater for Tepper than swallowing most of the cost of a new stadium...... makes sense.

A franchise move requires 75% ownership approval. In other words, 9 no votes would stop a move.

Given the relative lack of available larger media markets than where the Panthers currently are, I don't know how, why or where Tepper would try to move unless he were to become the first Euro-based NFL team.

So you're assuming his pettiness is not to the point that he'd make that expenditure. Well, at least there's no precedent...

Well if he were to want to move, I don’t think there are much better areas to go to. Jones isn’t going to allow another Texas team. St. Louis appears to be a nightmare for NFL teams. 
 

But if he did you also have to look at the ownership votes, and does the Panthers coming to town take a portion of a nearby team’s market share. 
 

If he did leave I could see Houston or Jacksonville trying to get here in a second. Chargers maybe but doubt NFL would allow a coast to coast move. I also wouldn’t put it past Tennessee.

Him moving the team would honestly be welcomed by me at this point. Charlotte would immediately become the top available market for an NFL franchise and we could wash our hands of Tepper's poo show. Seems like a win to me. 

Depending on how far you want him to move, I think he's already going that direction. I felt he was planning to move the team the minute he got the keys to the building. Albeit across the state line, by the time the Rock Hill facility is done, the only reason the Panthers come into Charlotte is to play "home" games. And that will only last a couple more years before Tepper announces plans to build a new stadium.... not in Charlotte.

How far? London seems nice.

What's your thesis here?

You ready to write the check for a new stadium for another billionaire owner?

Because that's what it is going to take...

That's a win?

I think he will more than willing to walk away.  He will use it as a example for when he wants a new stadium.  He can always use it as a tax right off. 

Not having this complex in Rock Hill will at least make the threat of leaving Charlotte more plausible.

100% fiction 🤦‍♂️

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Richard Sherman got dog piled for basically saying he didn't stand out as a WR prospect but looked elite as a CB prospect. A few months ago you could find other players commenting on his limited route tree and raw route running but the search algorithms are flooded with love affair right now. The guy is the best CB prospect in years and he'll contribute on offense too. That is the absolute opposite of a knock on the guy. It's just the people buying into him being a full time two way player in the NFL like he was at Colorado who gets their panties in a wad over just stating the simple reality that he ain't gonna be a full time two way player at the NFL level with 17 games seasons and no Travis Hunter fan should want that either if you want the guy to make it to a second contract.

      You do know you have to be invited to College GameDay? They called him out there and asked him about it and he answered it. And do you think he would have this type of interactions with a coach he doesn't have that type of relationship with? You're reaching to the furthest extent lol. I've seen a video of Hunter literally getting cursed out by Shedeur by not catching a BAD pass from Sanders and he didn't say anything just went out and caught a TD pass the next play! A "diva" would've got into a shouting match with his QB

      WHAT?!?!?!?! Honestly for the life of me, I can't figure out what you're saying here.  How are you saying their supporting casts cancel each other out and Hunter STILL had the better season? The supporting cast is LITERALLY the reason that he had the better season statistically.  If you put T-Mac on Colorado in place of Hunter, I'm 100% convinced he'd have had better stats than Hunter did, as he already had almost the same number of catches, and more yards, with a significantly worse QB and with zero other offensive weapons to take any attention away from him like Hunter had. If you think Hunter having 7 more TDs is more because of Hunter vs T-Mac and not because Hunter's QB had literally DOUBLE the number of TD's this year than T-Mac's QB, then I have some Arizona oceanfront property to sell you.
