We are providing the middle sized facility that is missing in the market.
Probably a good thing Tepper didnât build a soccer specific stadium and that we donât have MLB or that wouldnât be true.
Good leadership though. I think trying to find ways to use the stadium year round has got to be high priority.
But, all the ads say Wake Forest (with 30k stadium) is Charlotteâs ACC team. Surely they can cover the middle gap for our community.
Looks like presale for season ticket holders starts tomorrow at noon.
Do you think tickets will be really cheap?
I have no inside knowledge but Iâm guessing they wonât be cheap
I like the optimism here but I have to rain on this parade about concerts.
We might land a few but PNC music pavilion is right up the road and It has a capacity of 19,500.
I have big concert goers in my family and they LOVE the pavilion.
Not too big not too small and the lawn that seats 10K general admission is a big draw because itâs easy to socialize, and get real rowdy. Itâs rumored that people are using various intoxicants at this facility. Scandalous.
clt says another reason to tailgate!
And charlotte needs a domed NFL stadium dammit!!!
Tepper, Iâm calling you out.
Pull out the check book, break out the negotiation skills and make a deal with Charlotte to get this done!!!
Nooooooo. Domes suck! Especially in a climate that doesnât need one. Football news supposed to be played outside.
We need climate control. The answer is retractable like in Atlanta.
I think every other championship game this weekend is either way down south or in a climate control stadium.
Charlotte canât compete for the biggest events without a climate controlled stadium.
Thatâs the thing I donât care about those events. I just think domes and climate control football is stupid. The sport was supposed to be played in the elements a.
clt says detroit and minnesota shouldnât have domes
I would think of the Rich as more of a sports venue, that could also handle things like large graduations.
The other aspect Mike was discussing was using its facilities - like the team dining hall, etc for other special events.
I did a big corporate style formal dinner at Wakeâs (now named Truist) stadium years ago. Good use of otherwise underused facilities. Generate a little extra income.
I actually prefer Skyla CU Amphitheatre uptown to PNC, but those two arenât really competing for the same shows. Halton never caught on as a concert venue and actually the best shows I ever saw on campus were in the Mine Shaft and Rowe.
I actually saw some great shows at Carowinds. Why did that stop? Ticket prices for live shows now are outrageous. Vote
If that event could come with a behind the scenes tour of what the facility has and how itâs used, along with a stadium tour that could be real cool for some groups.
Taylor Swift says hush and give me your money.
NoâŚpnc pavilion is awful. Getting in and out of their is terrible.
This. The pavilion itself is fine, but having one small road to service all that traffic is just poor planning.
