Stadium Renovation Plans Announced

In order to secure a Super Bowl, I think you'd need to throw a roof on BOA Stadium. Charlotte is still a four-season town, and for better or worse, the League wants the Super Bowl to be in a warm climate or artificial climate. It's funny because ultimately winter towns like Minnesota that have domes are more likely to get a Super Bowl than us!

 

 

Except this year's which is being held in New Jersey kinda removes that prerequisite from the equation.

They have escalators at the Superdome and I was not really that impressed. Nice on the way up, a pain in the ass on the way down. When everyone leaves, they just get backed up. Most weren't even running so you were just walking down the stairs.

I'm all for the escalators however, less traffic for me on the switchbacks on the way out!

as far as the wifi, if they want to do it like the jets do, it allows people on their smart whatevers to watch exclusive in game highlights, replays, check fantasy, etc. 

 

all part of providing a better "experience" to the customer or whatever.

There are long timeouts. Nice to be able to check your fantasy team, other scores, or get updated info on an injury.

I go to games. Timeouts aren't long enough imo. And its aggravating to see some fans never put their phone down, never stand up and never cheer once. Like two middle aged women who were on the row in front of me at the jets game, looking at facebook for more than half the game.

could someone give me a dry, bland, devoid of political shittiness as possible breakdown of how the funding for this went with the state?

Panthers asked state. State said no. State said no to local hotel/rest tax. City council voted 10-0 to use existing convention center funds in exchange for a 6 year tether.

I noticed in Atlanta they kept up with scores from others games better ... but I never saw one in game stat

 

I think they keep up score fine at Panther stadium, BUT I hear ya about not one in game stat in Atlanta.  I noticed that and said it to my son.  At one point I was wondering what Cam's completion to throws were and was looking all around for something on the scoreboard and noticed there was nothing.  I like to see that stuff, how many tackles the players have, yards running, catches, receiving yards etc. I was surprised none of that was displayed.
