somewhere close on the state line. Which is like a 10 minute drive from the current stadium (sans traffic.) This is probably what should have happened to begin with but the development hadn't hit in those areas when they first arrived. Now the name of the game (if you're an owner) is to host a Super Bowl and they say the current facility won't cut it b/c it isn't a dome. Who knows how much of this is posturing for other things but these stories swirl around here all the time and have been for a while.

Re: Carolina Panthers may move practice facilities to SC

If the new owner wants to insure both Carolinas become involved he and partners need to do three vital long term moves.
First keep pre-season camp at Wofford College! This has had a huge financial and fan base impact over several decades. Continue this until a new complex is completed.
Second build an entirely new stadium complex directly on the state line! Make the name actually mean what was intended!
Third build a practice complex as well, but put that entirely in York County.
Problem solved!

out of Wofford b/c that was a JRichardson thing. We shall see. He may keep it there but i wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't select another location closer to Charlotte but still in SC.

No , the NFL is just about exactly where it wants to be . They aren't losing money and they will weather this " brain function " storm like they always shrug off challenges from the non-plussed .

Are the Panthers still around? I only follow NFL teams that sign Tigers.

From what I heard that was something personal involving Jerry Richardson family history ties.

They don't hold open practices

Except at training camp so I'm not understanding what kind of impact they think this move would have for the SC fan base. But as a Lake Wylie resident moving it out here probably wouldn't hurt property values.

This will be a event venue not just a practice facility. Look up the Star in Frisco.

those hideous jr high looking uniforms. I don’t think they’ll ever be a regional team, people in South Carolina care way more about Clemson and USCjr and the pro fans are split between Falcons, Panthers, Reddkins, and Cowboys.

Is this the same team that played at Clemson in 1995. I always wondered what happened to them. I bought season tickets for the 96 season and no one ever showed up.

Problem Solved... Place the new stadium in the heart of Carowinds, on the state line, it would appeal to all ages... team colors already match Smurf Village

This isn't only about the practice facility. This will make the new location a destination. Similar to the Star in Frisco, the "practice facility" will be able to host events.
"The Entertainment District at The Star is the perfect place to shop, dine, and bring the family to experience the Dallas Cowboys-themed campus. Offering more than twenty restaurants, shopping and specialty services, the Entertainment District is a place for the whole family to enjoy."
So where ever this ends up it will be a huge boost to the economy and host potential events like the recruiting events held this time of year.
I don't know where it will end up, but if you could link it to the GSP area it would pay huge dividends. More likely it will be near Carowinds and become a family hot spot.

There’s a large piece of land across from the barnyard

Flea market in Fort Mill that is the one area (among others) that they have done studies on. This is very close to Carowinds across i77. Roads are not prepared for that through there but it is very accessible to I77 and enough land to make it work. I heard it was a possible stadium site but maybe they were mistaken and it was a practice facility site.
