Also, BofA Stadium is very nice, just needs a new scoreboard. That is the worst scoreboard by far, my TV is twice the size of that thing.

What I’d like to know is who inherits Richardson’s interests in the franchise, and what they think.

It is one thing for a 50 something to move a team he owns to bigger brighter lights and know he is going to be villified in his hometown and NFL fans in general. Quite a different thing for someone who is up there in years and has already had major league heart surgery to make that move as they are more concerned with their “legacy” by that point. Only examples I can think of someone much older doing that is Modell when he basically had to move to Baltimore to get a huge check and keep himself out of bankruptcy and Irsay who was a drunken blowhard.

Not saying he will not use LA to leverage Charlotte, but actually pulling the trigger……

His children (I assume he has them) may however have different ideas when they take over the team or decide to sell to the highest bidder who may not have deep Carolinas roots.

They even had one of the most loyal fan bases.

Despite some of the struggles in Carolina this season the future is still bright. Very quietly Luke Kuechly and the defense have been playing fantastic football lately and only one Panthers loss has been a big one (against the Giants) every other game they lost they could have easily won.

The sell out every game, and they are 17th in most valuable sports teams. Just because they have a smaller market they throw the Panthers into it. I would be more worried if I was a Bill, Jaguar, Bucs, dolphins, or even the Vikings.

I love football, but there is no reason it should be subsidized.

I live in the man’s hometown and I can promise you there is no way in hades that Jerry Richardson is going to move the Panthers out of the Carolinas.

Richardson is also getting on in years, and the recipient of a heart transplant. However, as long as Jerry is still around, the Panthers aren’t going anywhere.

We’ve had the same jerseys since we entered the league.
