South Carolina is basically an economic dead zone. Charleston is the only real big area in the entire state. 

Suggesting that Raleigh is a worst location in Charlotte is just flat out wrong. 

Wake county has even matched Mecklenburg county in population. 

Charlotte has almost 0 personality as a city. I also don't think adjacency to South Carolina is as big of a selling point as you guys think. 

The hurricanes are also called the Carolina hurricanes, doesn't mean they have to be put in Charlotte.

Charleston is behind Greenville and Columbia in metropolitan population areas in SC

Zero % chance.

 

Why not?  Stan Kroenke did exactly that in Los Angeles.  The Johnson & Mara families did the same a while back when the new Jets/Giants stadium was built.  

 

"...either...or pay for a stadium in a glitzier location..."  ??

Who/where?

There are MASSIVE frictional cost involved in moving an NFL franchise...

...what are the top-3 locations you suggest the Panthers Owner would move the team to??

 

Los Angeles and New York are the top 2 media markets in the US. Charlotte is not.

LA is exactly the kind of "glitzy" location I was referring to that an owner would pay for his own stadium in. Maybe Tepper would try and put a team in Manhattan? In Chicago if the Bears go to the suburbs? If those don't work and he can't find another glitzy location, he will go somewhere where he'll get a free stadium. But that is the only scenario in which he would pay for his own stadium.
