150- 250 million compared to 2 billion dollar + NFL stadiums yes.I doubt this is really an issue as owners are putting more of thier own money into stadiums and Tepper is worth 9 billion.I think Tepper just wants to get the fuck out of NC,I would if I owned the team.Hes making it easier for himself to move them by pissing off the deplorables.
NFL not expected to implement new national anthem policy this season
- Thread starter Tony Stark
- Start date
The majority of people in North Carolina would welcome him to leave with the Panthers -- the feeling is mutual.
Good.You deplorables dont deserve an NFL team. Let another city reap the benefits an NFL team brings.
Sure... .some other misguided city who will spend billions in tax dollars building the team a stadium... is welcome to the team. I sure the owner will be glad to profit off of their stupidity.
When was the last time a city paid the entire cost or most of the cost for a stadium?
Why don't you look at the history of NFL stadiums that have been built over the past two decades. Take a look at the muni bonds from cities that funded the stadium and were backed by tax revenues (always with a significant tax increase).
Im not talking about the last 2 decades I am talking about now.Most of the cost for the new Raiders,Falcons,Vikings and Rams Stadiums were paid by the owners.Tepper will probably do the same just not in NC.
OK.. let's just start with the Raiders stadium in Las Vegas.... none of these new stadiums were paid in whole by the owners.
The final cost of the new stadium for the Raiders in Las Vegas will cost $1.8 billion, according to the Las Vegas Stadium Authority.
The cost, which was reported by the Las Vegas Sun from stadium authority documents, comes from $850 million provided by the Raiders, another $750 million from public funding, which are the county's hotel room taxes, plus $200 million from the NFL's "G4" loan program.

Why are Georgia taxpayers paying $700m for a new NFL stadium?
The hot dogs at the gleaming new $1.6bn home of the Atlanta Falcons may be cheap, but the way major sports drain tax dollars is an enduring scandal

So most of it is coming from the owner and NFL right?
