http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/19/10-things-to-know-about-the-vikings-stadium-situation/

This is one of the better articles I have ever seen PFT. If there is one thing Florio knows it's lawyer business.

I would be shocked and upset if the Vikings left Minnesota. If the NFC East is the style division, well the NFC North is substance. A division comprised of classic NFL franchises. When ever you mix business and politics both sides end up being wrong. The Vikings want a stadium funded with over 50% public money and the politicians are well....politicians. I just really hope they settle this, it would start an awful precedent for strong franchises to leave small markets over stadiums.

To tie this into Charlotte relocation has always been a concern of mine. We have experienced it with the Hornets. I think the Richardson family is committed to the city but I am younger than JR and his sons. I want this team to be here when I die, not when they die. People like to complain about PSL but I have to hand it to Jerry, he built a stadium without a serious public contribution. There are talks of remodeling and I'm curious if he pays that himself or surcharges PSL owners. I'm of the opinion the sooner we build the better. We built Ericsson for what? 250mil? 17 years later Stadium are going for a billion. If we wait another 15-20 years it could be god knows what.

So not much to see here. Just found this article to be worth reading.

Panthers have never asked a cent from Charlotte and thats why they are the Carolina Panthers and not the Charlotte Panthers. IMO the Vikes are just greedy and want to move so they make more doe. Im just happy JR is not money hungry like some owners.

I dont believe any form of government should be involved in building stadiums for professional teams or funding any private industry/business for that matter..

They sure didnt help me when I opened up my businesses. Actually quite the opposite, they were/are almost always in the way.

does your business have the same economic impact as an nfl team?

to say that the government shouldn't have ANY involvement is pretty silly.

I am a surveyor and deal with municipalities on construction from time to time. I'm sure the city of Charlotte offered incentives to bring in the Panthers. Things like expedited building permits and tax/fee breaks.

I tend to be conservative about govt spending but the city/state benefit from having an NFL franchise. They tax the millions of dollars in revenue a Franchise generates in a region. Then tax the employees creating the revenue. Franchises are a source of prestige to an area that pays dividends in the world of big business.

So I'm ok with the govt chipping in if it's not excessive or frequent.

Charlotte paid for the land the Panthers are on.

Study after study is done on this... The public is lead to believe there is a benefit, but time and time again it is proven, there is very little to no benefit for the local economy.

..and yes, I overstated my thought, Government does need to be involved in some form, but not with public funds.

Umm.... what the hell are you talking about? Give me the names of these studies, and the researchers behind them, or else you just made that completely up.

of course they should be involved .. just not financially .. these owners will find a way to make it happen .. if not someone else will .. that's what makes a free economy so great

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
