Let's say baldy gets a wild hair and does try and move. Would we ever get another team?

Would the NFL approve of the move? 

How many years before we actually got another team here realistically?

Would MLB jump the shark and put a team here first?

Opinions please...

Don’t have much as to the football stuff. But the Carolina Hurricanes owner is heavily lobbying to get a MLB expansion in Raleigh. It’ll probably end up going to Nashville though.

We are a top 10 population area and CLT is a rapidly growing city, although so is the Triangle area. 

IMO, we would be on the table for another team IF the NFL wants to expand in the US. My guess is that they are more focused on expanding their overseas brand than expansion domestically, so I suspect if they moved it could be a very long time or possibly would need to wait for another team to relocate.

Roy Cooper is helping him to try and get a team in the Raleigh area as well

I don't think the rest of the owners would approve a move.  The team makes too much money.  The NFL is pretty heavy in profit sharing so it would be silly for them to approve a move.  

That just depends on where they would end up.

They would approve it in a heartbeat. Wouldn’t think twice about it. They don’t care about Charlotte or where the team is located. I’m pretty sure there is a gentleman’s agreement among them about not vetoing moves. When has one EVER been vetoed in any American sport?

I just can't see a team that is profitable being moved before teams that aren't (or aren't as much).  It's all about money.  But I concede I can't remember any move being vetoed when I think about it but that could be because a team would already know it would be before bringing up a vote and wouldn't even try.

The Raiders tried to go to LA.  Vegas was their second choice.

It is All about money and the NFL prints it. An NFL team in OKC, San Antonio, Toronto, Mexico City would all do well. I don’t even know if the nfl would bother putting another team in Charlotte.

The NFL thought Charlotte was a good market to enter in the 90s and it has exploded in size since then.  To think the NFL doesn't care about Charlotte when they've ALREADY put a team here is a bit comical.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
