It took only three questions during David Tepper’s introductory press conference before the new Carolina Panthers owner fielded a one about whether he planned to keep the team in Charlotte.
And while Tepper said Charlotte was the “logical place” for the stadium, he also said he wants to have a presence in both Carolinas.
That could mean shifting part of the team’s operations across the state line.
Tepper could consider building a new practice complex that includes mixed-use development, according to an industry insider who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the discussions are preliminary.
