He's been sounding like a Panthers haters

I know right. Been to the panthers stadium many times. Its is far from Decrepit. Their is no reason for a new stadium, its a football stadium for football fans. This isn't FedEx field. The city isn't big enough to host a super bowl. Their is no reason to spend billions on a stadium at this time. Maybe if the second richest owner in the NFL wants one so badly he should pay for it himself.

​@CaptRR bro, I live in DC but have been to a few of the ACC chip games so I've seen both. Also been to ravens stadium & steelers stadium. FedEx is decrepit. BOA has fan experience & sight lines comparable to the other 2. So I guess all 4 must be decrepit according to this guy.....

@@CaptRR The city is definitely big enough to host a Superbowl. The problem is it doesn't have the infrastructure.

​@@CaptRR Charlotte is more than big enough to host the SB. Charlotte is 3 times the size of New Orleans and how many times has New Orleans held the game?

Why do that when the kansas, nevada and utahs of the world will pay hand over first for teams

Could not agree more. There is not one single argument for tax payer funding money. They don’t create jobs, phony argument, they don’t create more revenue for the cities, phony argument, they don’t do anything except put more money into the pocket of the owners.

​@@zch7491 Because we already have a stadium. We don't need another

The Dophins,Rams,Patriots,Dodgers and Clippers paid for their own Stadiums

@@zch7491 So let them move. Spending billions to keep a team for 8 games a year is absurd. there are a limited number of cities that really will fork over billions of tax payer money for a new stadium. They might talk a good deal but getting approval from the voters is another thing. The move threat post vegas is done. Vegas was litterly the on of few cities willing to put up the money because they have revenue coming in from gabling and other out of town people to pay for it. Utah will not vote to use tax payer money, Kansas talks a good game but has not gotten any approval from the voters who have already turned down the Chiefs and Royals a number of times. The move is an empty threat and even if they do move so what. Cities are better off without the billions hanging over them for the most part.

Agreed

Exactly, who gives a shit about the stadium when the team is so pathetic

​@@willis5605sport fans and media are delusional. People are up to their eyeballs paying their mortgages and property taxes and they are struggling with this economy. These stadium fanatics in north america could all go to hell

​@@viccolantonio1691maybe because you are broke. I rather be that rich owner then in your position.

Never underestimate the NFL and their greed. They are most greedy corrupt, greedy, arrogant, slimeball sports league on the planet.

exactly

Doesn’t mean it has to be Charlotte though

@@GoalHornGeek Raleigh? 🤔

@@40EastTrill you could go Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Charleston, Columbia, etc.

@@GoalHornGeek Raleigh and Durham is the same area. But yeah you could go to those other places but I think Raleigh is more built for another professional sports team and they wouldn't hesitate to give Tepper what he wants.

Exactly. If Tepper wants a new stadium, as the second richest owner in the league he should build it himself.

Not happening with how greedy the NFL is.

​@@CaptRRnope. Pay up. Or if another city will. U can't get in the way of that

Why pay for it when the public will pay?? Easy money.

Billionaires don't stay that way by spending their own money on vanity projects.

Not entirely true. Europe just funds them differently but owners still get hand outs. New Stadium in London got grants and other government backing. Europe uses grants which is the same thing as cities issuing Bonds. Also in Europe most projects are smaller because soccer stadium typically max out at 19 or 20K seats not 60 K like NFL. So it’s apples and oranges.

European stadiums are small in comparison to American stadiums, on average.

Because USA has more places to relocate a team to. Europe teams don't. So they can't leverage a city or metropolitan area to finance. Also Europe is dozens upon dozens of countries. While USA is massive in land size. Europe teams rarely leave their country to play in another European country anyway. Because of USAs it's massive size has more metropolitan areas than any one European nation has. Europe is population is condensed into cities. While USA has spread out population in dozens upon dozens of metropolitan areas who all want teams and try to outbid other metropolitan areas for teams

Those stadiums are too legendary, although Fenway was rumored to get replaced in the 90’s but it didn’t happen.

Doesn't really need a roof. This in Charlotte, NC, its not an extreme weather state. Yeah you get rain sometimes, but the panthers stadium is fine. Maybe the team could get some support if they put a better product on the field.

I go to ACC chip games whenever FSU is there. Plus I been to NFL games at Pittsburgh Baltimore DC too. If panthers need a new one then they all do by his logic. BOA is a really good venue for football. This sounds like greed to me

Arrowhead gotta be up there too.....haven't heard of plans for new one in KC

@@crittoneida958 DG has posted many videos about the KC situation and the movement for a new stadium. The talk about the plans is well known.

Lambeau Feild in Green Bay has been around for 67 years and is not going anywhere. Highmark Stadium in Buffalo is old but I understand why they are building a new one. Since I think there are cracks in the stadium and as an open air stadium in buffalo with its Age I don’t know how much time it would have left to be honest.

@@noaho8457Green Bay will start talking about a new stadium is a few years. They have to keep up with the JJ of the wold. They will start to fall behind in revenue more and more as other teams get new buildings. Green Bay is maxed out with the revenue they can get, they can only either stay about the same or fall. They will want something new soon as contracts and other things continue to get more expensive.

@@crittoneida958there is

What's ironic to your statement is that the tax payers will pay. The tax payers are the voters and they vote for it nearly every single time. The few situations where they didn't vote on it, it was up to the elected officials (who the tax payers voted to make decisions for them) who then allowed tax money to be used. If you disagree with it, like many people do then vote for change.

According to DG, all stadiums are decrepit

exactly

He obviously has never been to the overwhelming majority, if not all, of the venues he talks about. His perception of what stadiums should look like is embarrassingly unsophisticated. Like seriously, it's as if his entire opinion is a second-hand regurgitation of someone else's work. Why should it be necessary to leave an endzone open? "Walls of seats" are bad...why?

This is why I don’t get why the Metrodome and Georgia Dome got replaced. They were only 25-30 years old too. I know the Metrodome had that troubled bubble roof but that could’ve been fixed ?

"Tepper Tantrum"? LOL - Good one! Tepper the new Dan Snyder?

I bet Roger's regretting bringing Tepper into the NFL fold. Mr. Richardson had his issues for sure, but Tepper is just a disaster that I feel bad for Panthers fans.

@@LoweDown414 Richardson would never relocate the panthers. Yeah he had his problems, but bringing in a Hedge fund manager was never going to work out well for the city.

They'll be moving to San Antonio or Austin within 5 years. 😂

They aren’t moving. The vote is gonna pass (city council vote).

Don’t worry, they won’t! Go Panthers

Hey Maybe Harbaugh brings one back, he loves San Diego. The Clipper boat has officially sailed though.

Why?? The voters did exactly what everybody wants them to do. They said no public money. The people spoke and the team listened. No public money means the team will leave for another city or situation where someone else will pay for it.

​@@ArizonaHotSauce out of the 3.9 million that live in the metro, only 42 k that live in downtown got to vote. The Stadium was all public founded by those that live only in downtown and had an unnecessary dome. 99.7 of the fans live outside of downtown. Deano threatened to move many times and never put together a proper bill for the stadium. I appreciate your opinion, but it's not a good one. Look at facts before commenting.

​@@bchillbong-uf2ioIt's Commiefornia. Who cares? LA is only a couple hours away. It's not like they were the only team in that State. Just cheer for LA.

​@@bchillbong-uf2io Sucks to be in San Diego then. Hey, you have the weather and the "super team" Padres, right? haha

Exactly. The tax payers will acquiesce and eventually pay a large portion of a new stadium.

Do your research next time….

This is the final year for it though isn’t it?

@@RB01.10 yep

oh god i can't imagine how that would go

​@@dogmanmyfriend312 His infrastructure plan is every state gets their own domed super stadium with natural light lol

Great idea. Nope. The public (tax payers) will continue to pay. If you disagree, then vote for change. And the few times, when the voters did their part and voted against the use of public funds, the team left. Too easy. Then again, nobody wants the team to leave.

so

The $650 million is part of the state budget?

@@user-wk1qx7rn9c yes it is part of the state budget and a food tax that was extended by the state legislator earlier this year so as being part of the state budget, it has to be spent. It’s in the North Carolina constitution.

F' Chicago. The Panthers aren't going anywhere.

I know right? The stadium is far from decrepit. Acting like this is fedex field is ignorant. The stadium is a good stadium. No its not a billion dollar tax payer funded stadium, that is not used most of the time. Also their is no reason to put billions into a new stadium, when the city doesn't have the hotel space to host the super bowl.

What more do u need out of a stadium. Bank of America stadium has everything you need

The stadium started as grass. They could go back but the soccer team sharing makes it hard

I don't think Jerry Jones will allow that in Texas.

Keep dreaming. The city of Charlotte is not going to let that much money walk away.

From what's been said, he wouldn't have a choice. Jerry may be Jerry, but he's not the final say in anything.

Nope. The Panthers’ stadium renovation was approved by the Charlotte City Council by a vote of 7-3.

Jerrah will shoot it down

@@dudedude949jerrah is 81 and out the life door soon.

@@fakewebz1 Perhaps, but the Jerrah clan will see that his "voice" carries on. It's a powerful one too.

​@dudedude949 There's also the Houston Texans, Texas isn't big enough for 3 teams

@@michaelleroy9281 Texas is bigger than Florida in economy, population and landmass. Florida supports three teams. This Texas isn’t big enough for three teams argument doesn’t work.

At least the spectrum center makes sense, since it can host so many events. I don't see the point of spending a billion dollars of tax payer money for something that will be mainly used for a few home football and soccer games, and some occasional event that can actually use that seating capacity.

How do you know Tepper wants the team in Europe? That don't even make sense.

@@40EastTrill they play in Germany this coming season. Tepper knows he can make a ton more and get them to give him everything he wants. Plus, the NFL wants to expand to Europe. The 2 teams that have always been in play for expansion to Europe have been Carolina and Jacksonville. Tepper is a snake of an owner and will do WTF he wants, piss on the fans.

@@reubenterry7623 Every team plays overseas over a matter of time. Carolina has NEVER been in talks of being an European expansion team. That was dumb ass podcasters talk. Tepper could make more money but he's going to spend more money moving a team overseas than just staying where he's at. Still doesn't make sense.

@@40EastTrill Charlotte better come up with that new stadium money then. If not Tepper will relocate. Just because it don’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense to Tepper. It’s a different game and economy now and Tepper is a hedge fund guy. It’s not just podcasters, it’s executives in the NFL that want to expand to Europe. The package that’ll be offered will be to good to turn down. Unlike you I know people who know Tepper and he loves Germany. He’s giving the fans of Charlotte a chance to keep the team by building a new stadium and if it fails say adios to the Panthers. If not Europe, it’ll be somewhere else stateside.

Worse? The rendering for the Jags stadium looks awesome! Getting a transparent state of the art roof. A wind catching design that will create way cooler temps in the stands. Using a product that surrounds the stadium but is transparent like sun glasses so you can see out while reducing UV rays. 2x wider concourses. Updated box seats. Updated seats throughout the entire stadium. Press button seat expansion for FL/GA game. For only $1.4bill. That's far more than what the Panthers are showing. Their rendering is bland as hell and will not hold up the next 10yrs given these other renovated or new stadiums. Guarantee if the city approves it the NFL will say.....no.

@@Jaxboy86 Its polishing a turd...the stadium there is a dump

@@user-fj5os6jw4o polishing a turd? Lmao its a full renovation. Bathrooms, seating, box seats, concessions, concourses, etc. The only thing that will be the same are the bones of the stadium (which has been evaluated and shown to be in great condition). Sorry for the money the Panthers want their rendering doesn't look much different than what they have now. Jags did it right with far more bang for the buck.

@@user-fj5os6jw4o sorry I misspoke. 4x as wide concourses. And the main concourse will be raised for better views of the city. Its hella nice. And its promised on the agreement that what we see in the renderings are 100% what we will get. And the Jags are picking up 100% of the overage costs.

Why do you hate St.Louis so much?

San Diego wouldn't work in the NFC South
