So, why the need for so much expense? It is just a place to watch a game for 3 hours. All the new stadium BS going on throughout the country tells me one thing: “fans” aren’t there to watch the game. They are only there to wowed by all the glitz and glamour that has absolutely NOTHING to do with football. Sit your @$$ on a bench watch the game from your seat as it happens on the field - not on the fricking video board. Have a couple beers and go home. The only thing that these new stadiums do is drive up the cost of being a fan. Done with the NFL. Done with all the stupidity…
Location within the city is the only thing this stadium has going for it. Its okay for what it is but 1.3 billion is a lot of money into an outdated stadium.
Well because the stadium is like they're probably upgrading everything in it and a lot of that stuff you got to think about Labor and cost and materials
Listening to DG, you'd think this stadium was about to fall down or something... I've been to tons of games here, and never heard fans complain about it being"outdated". DG's ongoing hate with BoA stadium, which apparently he's never visited, is puzzling. Then again, the sole criteria he uses to judge stadiums is: how cool does it look on TV?
I agree. What’s the big deal with the exposed upper deck? It’s a football stadium, it should look like one, not a spaceship. Open air stadiums are the best IMO. Who can forget the game against the Saints in the deluge of rain? We don’t have the hotel capacity to ever host a Super Bowl any time soon anyway.
@DanTarrant1 If how a stadium looks on TV is DG's criteria then Lincoln Financial Field @ 1pm has by far the ugliest shadows on the field. Hard Rock Stadium canopy shadows are an eyesore too. As a Giants fan I'm glad that MetLife Stadium has a large capacity (fully enclosed) and lots of parking with direct ramps to several highways + public transit options. The American Dream next door is the best entertainment district you could ask for. Translucent roofs, sleek exterior, landscaping, and quirky social areas do not improve the fan experience.
Raymond James is now the only stadium in FL and in its division without a new, renovated, or planned renovation for its venue. It’s their turn to shine.
The only thing underwhelming is the new stadiums. Carolinas renovated outdoor stadium looks better than Buffalos new one. Jacksonville's proposed renovated indoor stadium looks much better than Tennessee's new one. The only thing I dont like with this renovation is the elimination of the current exterior.
BOA stadium is in an excellent location. I’m excited about this renovation. Football and soccer is meant to be outside. I’m glad they don’t have a roof. The weather in the Carolinas is good and the skyline view is awesome.
A modern dome is probably 3-5 billion considering alot of the money is going to surrounding developments (parks, hotels, engineering for the new stadium etc.) A lot of money considering you'd be lucky to host one Super Bowl in 20 years since everyone is building domes. Glad they kept it open air and a proper NFL stadium that will be in the elements.
@@seganmansfield3071 A dome in Charlotte would look nice, not going to lie. But this looks pretty good, too. And affordable. You're right, though. Just look at Tennessee and Chicago, where one had to kick in at least a billion in public funding for a dome and another is trying to get at least that in public funding for a dome.
I swear he just adds in random pictures without even double checking what he's adding them for. There have been videos where he will have an image for the wrong stadium lol
I wish they would just build a new stadium. The old Charlotte Pipe Foundry is right across the street not in use anymore, just buy that land and build the new one there. Plenty of room with how big that foundry was.
I mean the bills built their new stadium for 1.6 billion so is putting 1.3. billion into a renovation worth it when they can probably build a new stadium for 300 million more similar to what the bills have?
Reminds me a lot of the Spotify camp nou renovation currently going on rn, keeping the inside bowl the same while updating the exterior. I think it’s a solid renovation but I think they should add a dome similar to a European soccer stadium design that rises up from the new exterior. Doing that will hide the arches from the old inner bowl and make it a better fan experience that willl shield from the heat and rain.
David Tepper is a multi-billionaire; he's got the money to build anything he wants to. Why spend that much money to renovate the stadium when at the end of the day, you still won't be hosting Super Bowls & Final Fours because the place doesn't have a roof. It would seem if you're going to spend that much money on a renovation, you'll renovate it to where you can max the place out with events.
@@andrebailey6676 Tepper needs to just go ahead and add a translucent roof while they are renovating it. Charlotte would definitely be added to the Final Four rotation if they would do that.
@@johnhenryNC from my understanding is tapper's going to put in 600 million and wants the city to put in another $600 million and that's how you get to 1.4 billion dollars there's probably going to be more stuff that's not talked about or seen that the price tag cuz I mean this stadium is old you're talking about a complete renovation of a stadium which will probably take at least one to two years to complete
@@andrebailey6676 I do wish they would add a roof because I would love to see Charlotte host a Super Bowl and a Final Four. They've got enough hotel rooms now to accommodate people.
A lot of stadiums worldwide with modern seats, the seats are on a track system that allows the existing seats to be moved closer to each other in order to add additional seats for special events. AT&T Stadium has that kind of seating system. That’s the best way to go in my opinion.
@@ericradford2142 not gonna happen. If u were playing sim city as a sports owner how would u feel if the npc citizens demanded u pay for your own stadium with all the expenses u have allready. Think about it carefully
@@ericradford2142 🙄 you guys complain about rich ppl so damn much. But everyone got expenses. Now I don't think cities should be paying half. 20% at most. So if a stadium is 1 billion dollars a city should drop 200 million in tax subsidies. Be creative. Land deals something but to expect a owner to pay all.of it...not happening and don't cry when ur team moves.
@@ericradford2142 now in reality the owners get what they want. Ask Tennessee...Buffalo etc. California is more of a challenge but they are not exempt. Look at Oakland...and their still broke even without sports expenses...that's not on sports owners that on the citt
A lot of people asking for a new stadium. Remember, that triggers new PSLs. With this team they would lose the guarantee seats being sold and no one is buying into this owner. They did the ROI. Lose the current PSL season ticket sells and lose millions each year.
I think the Panthers should tear down and demolish their current stadium and build a brand new stadium with a roof. I know I’ll probably get this question, if the Panthers demolished their current stadium and build a brand new one if it’s on the current site of the old one, what stadium could they use for those 3-4 years while the new one gets built? They could travel 2+ hours away to use the stadium at UNC. I don’t know what other stadiums they could use, but it’s the only one that I can only think of that they can use.
Well, you'll recall that the Panthers played their first season at Clemson while this stadium was being built. Going from Charlotte to Clemson is usually not a bad drive, but on gamedays the traffic wss a nightmare.
Glad they're not building a roof. I'm getting tired of seeing all these teams build/talk about building domed stadiums. If you want indoor football, there's a league for that - Arena Football.
This is only a 1st render, they are keeping the foundation of the stadium it’s only 30 years old pure concrete. Why tf would they build another stadium they are in the best spot in Charlotte the metro literally goes right to the stadium, they are about to build a brand new practice facility next to the stadium. The design isn’t even that bad you just hating.
I'm thinking the thought process is to keep doing renovations until it looks completely different. It keeps it from (possibly) taking up time during the season where they would have to play somewhere else and also I'm sure Tepper is not wanting to do a huge giant full stadium renovation and have the same situation happen that happened in Rock Hill
$1.4B for that does look extremely underwhelming. Jacksonvilles is going to cost roughly the same amount of money and it looks completely brand new, while this one just seems a couple outside screens and New seats. Otherwise it looks really similar to how it is right now
I live in Charlotte, and can confirm that this place is not very good. It's incredibly bland, and has 0 personality. I'd love for them to just tear it down and try again.
From what I read, all the money is not going to be spent right way. Some is for down the road and they would commit to staying until 2045. I dont think Charlotte will get a better deal.
I don't like how this renovation reduces the seating capacity by turning the upper corners into standing areas. Ouherwise it's simply modernizing a 1990's NFL stadium into 2020's NFL stadium which is fine. If Charlotte FC is going to be a long-term tenant here you ought to add turn a lower endzone drink rail section as the supporters section.
This is interesting…. For that price tag it should be damn near a new stadium. In contrast the jags deal is 1.2 billion and it’s actually a partial rebuild and it’s being stripped down to the concrete and completely redone, without a need for an entirely new stadium. I agree this is a band aid because they are talking about building a new one eventually also right ?
I agree, it’s not a good stadium now and the renderings don’t change it enough to make the price tag worth it. The location is terrific. It’s on the edge of the city where there are bars, restaurants and hotels. It’s also the gateway to the southern part of the city which has even more bars and restaurants. The smart move would be to demolish it and start over in the same spot. They played in Clemson their first two years but that’s too far away. The smarter move would be to play in Columbia at the University of South Carolina. It’s a big stadiums and it’s only an hour away. Charlotte will regret cities like Nashville moving up the pecking order when they get their domed stadium after paying a ton for the proposed renovation.
I’m from NC, but grew up a Dallas fan and actually live here. Just a little background why I’m following this story. Why in the world would you spend that type of money sh o renovations? I get inflation, but Most newer stadiums cost that much! It’s time to move out of Charlotte Uptown and go to a location a bit cheaper in the burbs and add parking for tailgating. I don’t think you would have to spend that much more. I’m also hearing rumors that it could be 2046 before you get another stadium? 21+ years?
It does look a little underwhelming, but I dont see the issue with the hollowed out upper deck, seems fine to me. Especially as a fan in the stadium seems like a nice open air section to enjoy.
The stadium is fine like it is. Tweaks like new food choices or exterior landscaping are fine although who cares. It's mostly concrete outside but that's what it should be for 60,000 people leaving at the same time. Anyway, as long as they have a trans cheerleader, I'm still on strike. I don't go, I don't watch on TV.
Thinking this might be a smart move financially for Charlotte. With current inflation and the money squeeze almost everyone is experiencing, there is NO appetite with spending 2+ billion dollars for a new stadium where only the top 5-10% can even afford to attend events there. I am actually pleased to see something being refurbished instead of bull dozed for a change. The Roman coliseum was an active venue used for well over 1,000 years. The very short 25 to 30 year lifecycle of large stadiums is beyond ridiculous.
It looks like a gladiator arena,they need to approve more of the top notch stadium,put roof with 3 d panorama glass with panther logo special visual screen all over roof moving elements ,that you have experience of the life time
Carolina Panthers should look somewhere else like Greensboro or Raleigh. Most of the stadiums aren't in the teams city name ex Dallas plays in Arlington, San Francisco plays in Sana Clara, Chicago might go to different town, New York teams plays in New Jersey , Washington plays in Maryland,
Why do the local taxpayers have to pay for any of this? Looks like the spoiled billionaire who owns the teams can pay. The taxpayers should at least get the same proportion of equity in the teams as they contribute to renovation or a new stadium.
Reference the stadium I’ve been there for several games and the fact remains there is absolutely no place to tailgate as there is in say Cleveland at the muni lot. Remember when they were first awarded the franchise it was to be called theCAROLINA panthers. The stadium needs to be located some where around Rockhill SC for ample parking and tailgating instead of down town Charlotte
If that happens, lets be real, homie, the entire city and potentially state of North Carolina would have to kick in a billi, at least. At least with those option, like Jax, it's affordable for a community.
@@CCNC-bz9gu they’ve done news stories years ago asking people and the majority wanted an indoor stadium, not just for football for other yearly events.
I don’t get all these new stadiums and renovations. The current stadium is fine. Why do Americans need giant video boards, social areas and other gimmicks to stimulate themselves at a sporting event? I’m a Liverpool FC fan and our stadium Anfield is 140 years old, has no video boards, you can’t drink and watch the game in the stands, there’s very few luxury boxes, no gimmicks, and our only renovations have been made to modernise and keep expanding capacity to fit more people in as the ticket demand is extremely high. Do Americans actually just find their sports boring? I’ve been to 17 MLB parks and didn’t need all the stadium extras. Why is it so important to this generation of “sports fans”
Lol that was just when he released the videos. I had no worries this would get a bunch of views quick. You should've believed in bro. Next time, just say "first".
This is a very underwhelming renovation, it's not worth $1.3 billion, they minus well just build a new stadium. They need something like Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta where it's retractable.
@@Hydra48 it could be probably more than that do you know that's the same 1.4 in case in overtures in case it goes over that estimate that's an estimated I think 650 to 800 million
@@Hydra48 but because this stadium is so dependent it probably is going to be around 1:4billion you got to think about how many years this stadium hasn't had a renovation
As a North Carolinian, I think the renovation is dumb. It's gonna take 4 years to complete, and most of it looks trash, especially that seating in the endzone area. They should just go back to Death Valley for 2 years, demolish BOA and rebuild there.
@@marclucas9701I will say this. I think next time Miami comes knocking for a new stadium..the tax payers better be ready or else the Dolphins will relocate..NFL ain't playing

That aqua color is very garish for the renderings for the stadium.
FTR, the Panthers use "Process Blue"
@@DanTarrant1 Looks more teal in the renderings than it does on the Panthers current uniforms.
More than likely it's going to get approved
It looks like a gladiator arena,they need to approve more of the top notch stadium,put roof with 3 d panorama glass with panther logo special visual screen all over roof moving elements ,that you have experience of the life time
The speakers in half the upper sections haven’t worked in years. Tepper is good at wasting excess money on garbage lol
Carolina Panthers should look somewhere else like Greensboro or Raleigh. Most of the stadiums aren't in the teams city name ex Dallas plays in Arlington, San Francisco plays in Sana Clara, Chicago might go to different town, New York teams plays in New Jersey , Washington plays in Maryland,
Why do the local taxpayers have to pay for any of this? Looks like the spoiled billionaire who owns the teams can pay. The taxpayers should at least get the same proportion of equity in the teams as they contribute to renovation or a new stadium.
North Carolina is a big state don't understand why they having trouble. There areas like south area of Charlotte west Charlotte
Reference the stadium I’ve been there for several games and the fact remains there is absolutely no place to tailgate as there is in say Cleveland at the muni lot. Remember when they were first awarded the franchise it was to be called theCAROLINA panthers. The stadium needs to be located some where around Rockhill SC for ample parking and tailgating instead of down town Charlotte
Amen!
@@laradolinger5324 thank you
What's the point of outside video boards?
wonder if they'll go back to natural grass? 1.3B waste if not
I’m here in Charlotte AND NO ONE WANTS THIS! We want an indoor stadium!
If that happens, lets be real, homie, the entire city and potentially state of North Carolina would have to kick in a billi, at least.
At least with those option, like Jax, it's affordable for a community.
🤨
No, we don’t!
@@CCNC-bz9gu they’ve done news stories years ago asking people and the majority wanted an indoor stadium, not just for football for other yearly events.
@@maxkeebs4425 for $2 billion, you mine as well build a new stadium.
I don’t get all these new stadiums and renovations. The current stadium is fine. Why do Americans need giant video boards, social areas and other gimmicks to stimulate themselves at a sporting event? I’m a Liverpool FC fan and our stadium Anfield is 140 years old, has no video boards, you can’t drink and watch the game in the stands, there’s very few luxury boxes, no gimmicks, and our only renovations have been made to modernise and keep expanding capacity to fit more people in as the ticket demand is extremely high. Do Americans actually just find their sports boring? I’ve been to 17 MLB parks and didn’t need all the stadium extras. Why is it so important to this generation of “sports fans”
Pay yo or lose your team
So they have a lot of structural a lot of different things to fix
its not Carolina FC its Charlotte FC. the team started playing in 1995.
Davide Tepper vs Rock Hill lol
Nope. Bad move in renovating this place.
Nowhere to park why not move to the outskirts make sense 🙄
Spend money to watch them lose. The owner is a clown........
LMAO.....Glad they aren't getting my money
Who is your favorite team? I guarantee your tax dollars ID going to your favorite
Just build a new stadium lmaoooooooooooo
Only 2 Comments Bro Fell Off
Lol that was just when he released the videos. I had no worries this would get a bunch of views quick.
You should've believed in bro. Next time, just say "first".
This is a very underwhelming renovation, it's not worth $1.3 billion, they minus well just build a new stadium. They need something like Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta where it's retractable.
🤦♂️🤦♂️ here we go 🤦♂️
Where are you getting 1.4B?? The closest I've seen is 800 million lol
It's probably because of the stadium is so outdated
You got to think about labor costs materials how long is it going to take
@@andrebailey6676 Yeah but every article I saw is saying $800 million or $650 million
@@Hydra48 it could be probably more than that do you know that's the same 1.4 in case in overtures in case it goes over that estimate that's an estimated I think 650 to 800 million
@@Hydra48 but because this stadium is so dependent it probably is going to be around 1:4billion you got to think about how many years this stadium hasn't had a renovation
As a North Carolinian, I think the renovation is dumb. It's gonna take 4 years to complete, and most of it looks trash, especially that seating in the endzone area.
They should just go back to Death Valley for 2 years, demolish BOA and rebuild there.
😂 let me guess they should build indoor stadium
Add a translucent roof
Except roofs on stadium suck ...
Me personally I like it I don’t care what depressed ginger thinks about my stadium
I hear you there
@@marclucas9701 who’s your team ?
@@joshuahilton3718 Dolphins NFL Florida Panthers NHL
@@marclucas9701I will say this. I think next time Miami comes knocking for a new stadium..the tax payers better be ready or else the Dolphins will relocate..NFL ain't playing
What for? The team sucks and will suck for years to come. Waste of money.
The owner is real cheap.. the stadium began build in 93-94
What a waste of money
you're so fixated on domed & translucent roof stadiums and shit, every team in the NFL don't need it
dave tepper is so cheap he dont want to build a new stadium for the same cost
1.4b FOR WHAT nothing ,????
This video smells like farts
Typical David tepper lame renovation lame owner
Why they suck so bad who gonna watch them anyway except for concert the stadium will look so empty except from fans of other teams coming to watch carliona losses like pittsbrugh Steelers fans can't wait to beat you'll next time by 45 points
Build a 🆕 75k - 85k stadium 🏟️ with a retractable roof
All This For $1.4 *Billion* … 🦬 Is Getting A 🆕 Stadium For $1.8 *Billion* … Why Not Build A 🆕 Stadium?
