How will the uptown practice space compare to what we could have had in rock mill / fort hill?

Smaller but fine from what I have seen. Most of Rock Hill was a residential and commercial mixed development around the facilities which were expanded with office if I remember correctly.

I can't belive it's 2025, the team is worth billions and the team still doesn't have a finished practice facility. Not bitching just saying wow to that chapter finally coming to a close.

It’s a shame they didn’t just keep camp at Wofford indefinitely

I still feel 100% Tepper tanked that RH deal on purpose after regretting the initial decision.   It makes the most sense to have it Charlotte.

This is a horrible idea, it's literally burning money for the team and the community for no reason.

You don't need fan participation when you have a winning franchise...oh, wait.

I have a couple contractors friends working in Charlotte between triangle and other cities that pay well. RH over promised tepper, believe it or not. Coofus hit in the middle of it too, which killed any chance for RH to full fill their contract. They told me tepper asked for bonds and breaks and got the classic its coming. This happen three more times over nine months and tepper stopped the project, which was the correct decision. They were worried about not getting paid or being tied up in court for years. To his credit tepper paid each of them, pro move. 

RH wanted this massive project and bid against other counties in SC and NC, they vastly over promised and begging hoping tepper would not stop.. Believe it or not this type of thing happens alllll the time, I've been in many of them. It would blow your mind how many business people go all-in on developments and before you finish cleaning the trees off the land, they can not pay. Just hoping for more/different investors. Many times 3rd or 4th the land gets sold. The speeches and BS Ive been told.....jaded. Im thankfully out, outside calling old friends and visiting job sites. Subbed out work too, not any more.

I've personally only threaten one time to walk off a job. The company falsified the geological map. I told them to put another 200,000 into my bosses account or I will pack everything up and walk off the job. I already had 10 days in the project and knew this was not what was quoted. Later that day, 200,000 when into account....
