Businesses have left in droves and the once highly touted Research park is but a skeleton of what it once was or could have been. Anchor tenant IBM long gone. Demographics have changed dramatically.<br /><br />This damages university lifestyle in general and one cause of low attendance in sporting events although being in a non-regional distance conference also prevents rivaries or opposing fans filling the seats. The commuter excuse is bogus.<br /><br />This is why it is essential to put a new UNC Charlotte football program out front dead center in the limelite of BOA stadium for its home games. PSLers and all others would be privy to attend boosting numbers and revenue. The only advantage of a stadium on campus would be for the few who live there.<br /><br />University officials had better reexamine this stadium situation that could save tens of millions and give high profile status to a new program playing in an NFL stadium. <br />Put a new stadium on the back burner for now.

BOA stadium is def the place for a new UNCC team to play for any number of reasons. No negatives. All positives. Its win-win.<br /><br />Dont waste 50 million on some small UNCC football stadium on campus where nobody would attend. Terrible idea especially for a start up.<br /><br />Wait until you get a big following if that happened and then maybe go to the campus. By then some billionaire corp like Halton at Pepsi will build it and write it off their taxes. <br />This is not even close.<br /><br />Open up to non-UNCC people who may like Div One college football played in an NFL 75,000 seat stadium with the skyscraper backdrop on I-77 for easy access with all the amenities uptown and media next door.<br /><br />Be inclusive. Tucking a small stadium in an remote unknown location is complete suicide right off the bat. Use the resources available to build a team and a name before you waste money a fortune on a stadium in a bad location.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-84377035798102004082011-06-11T23:03:10.428-04:002011-06-11T23:03:10.428-04:009:52....I wouldn't laugh too hard and you dont...9:52....I wouldn't laugh too hard and you dont have to take my word for it.

Winthrop knows who they are and doesn't need a 2nd tier football team to feel good about themselves.

Anyone can use it at the same rent level. But, the difference is, USF does not have to pay what amounts to a million-plus dollars for each home season. We would.<br /><br />The Panthers BOA Stadium is owned by Jerry Richardson and he would be a fool to provide the same deal USF receives because (1) he doesn't have to do so, and (2) he has to answer to his ownership group about profitability, and finally (3) he is responsible for updates and improvements to the stadium and that is a lot of money.<br /><br />I know in the past the 49ers asked and the rent alone begins at $250,000 per game. If there are 6 home games and you have to pay security, parking attendants (private lots), and you get zero concessions' fees, what does that cost you each year? $1.5 million, easy.<br /><br />Playing on campus will be awesome.<br /><br />When we support the team as we should, we can expect the stadium to expand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-82984587895155269072011-06-10T20:03:42.672-04:002011-06-10T20:03:42.672-04:00Some of your comments are laughable

FCS fball is not even close.<br />5:36, I like your spirit but your "facts" are wrong.

Rose seems to think they are.<br /><br />Charlotte's ace in the hole is the Charlotte media market...which both conferences already have access to (Stony Brook was accepted as a partial member of the Big South for media market access) through Davidson and Winthrop. Trying to tease them with a football team that hasn't even held a practice yet wasn't going to work.<br /><br />The sad part is that I'm certain they'd have accepted the full program and the big winners in that would've been Charlotte fans. Imagine an away trip to Coastal in September, you could catch the game and spend a weekend at MB. You could drive to games at Greensboro, Davidson, Winthrop or Webb during the week and return at a reasonable hour. All of this stuff benefits the fans, but Rose didn't look at that, she failed you guys big time on this one.Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363909020977822734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-16323967105504220622011-06-10T11:56:29.933-04:002011-06-10T11:56:29.933-04:00A new conference is a great idea.

These schools move up in five years. They join with ECU, Marshall, Middle Tenn, to form a new 10 team conference and after proving themselves they extend an invitation to UAB & Southern Miss. <br /><br />Name of conference: Atlantic South, Magnolia, Southern Oak, Southern Gridiron, Founders League of Associated Sports Home (FLASH). Or any other name. Headquarters: Charlotte, Greenville SC, Myrtle Beach, Ashville, Wilmington, Charleston, or ect. <br /><br />The conference would provide natural rivalries, geographical senses, cover 8 states, largest TV markets in Carolinas, Georgia & Alabama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-1843056060366738062011-06-10T10:46:30.824-04:002011-06-10T10:46:30.824-04:00Still yet to comprehende how USF can play in NFL T...Still yet to comprehende how USF can play in NFL Tampa RayJay stadium with no problem but UNCC cant play in the NFL BOA stadium?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-23597857065312767492011-06-10T09:32:07.176-04:002011-06-10T09:32:07.176-04:00Yea its time for UNCC to lose this bush league 2nd...Yea its time for UNCC to lose this bush league 2nd rate status and step up into the big leagues for a change.<br />Be leader not a follower.<br /><br />If you build it they will come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-71025478783256734702011-06-10T09:21:14.111-04:002011-06-10T09:21:14.111-04:00That's not an idea, it's a flight of fancy...That's not an idea, it's a flight of fancy.
