Adam Thielen: We probably have NFL’s worst facilities, I don’t think anybody would argue that

[TheSpecialJuan]

Adam Thielen noted that Carolina’s practice facility — which is still housed at the stadium after plans for a separate facility at Rock Hill, S.C. were scrapped — needs to be updated.

“I think they’re behind a little bit as far as facilities,” Thielen told Alex Zietlow of the Charlotte Observer. “We probably have the worst facilities in the NFL right now, and I don’t think there is anybody who would argue that. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. You gotta go play football, and you gotta go win games.

Thankfully, unlike the NBA, it doesn't matter as much to players, they only care about most guaranteed money with a little bit of playing time/fit mixed in. But Kansas City has to be below Carolina, Washington too. Their stadiums are complete dumps

Good on Tepper for acknowledging it unlike Richardson. I’m sure he is pushing the players to say stuff like this so he can get funding requested.

Facilities and not the stadium.  Players care more about the training facilities than the stadium because this is where they spend their time.  They are only in the stadium 12 or so days a year.

This is why i have never held it against the Tepper for trying to progress something like this. The panthers are just way behind everybody else. It took tepper coming just to get a practice bubble so they wouldnt have to be in a ball room during bad weather. Im still disappointed about the rock hill facility not working out because that would have been very cool for the team and the fans. It makes no sense they still dont have a practice facility.

I mean I’ve seen pictures of the panthers facility and they are not worse than the Chiefs.

Went to a Chiefs game last year... its an oooooooold stadium. My home town, CFL Bomber stadium is nicer.

I’ve sourced those pull blocks and those are the cheapest fuging thing you can buy. They literally disintegrate. Also you shouldn’t be using those for shrugs or rows BUT I DIGRESS

those are eleiko plates. Those are the nicest plates in the world. Why do you buy play dough pull blocks

He’s prob not wrong but Adam gets on my nerves for some reason. He has made a few off the wall comments in his short time here and I’m not sure what the purpose of saying this was. He’s not going to be here after this season and has only been on one team, so what’s the point of calling ours the worst? We may be, but STFU and get ready to lead us to 4 wins this season. I miss old school football players, I mean the guy is getting paid millions and should be thankful he’s on is team at his age.

Seems to have hindered the Chiefs bad over the last 5 years

Meh. They could have state of the art facilities and they’d still be the worst team in the league
