If the Carolina Panthers move their business operations and practice facilities to South Carolina, Charlotte might lose a little of the luster of being home to an NFL team’s headquarters. You might not spot Cam Newton on South Tryon scootering to practice anymore, either.
But from a tax revenue standpoint, building a new campus that’s separate from Bank of America Stadium wouldn’t be a huge loss for North Carolina, experts say.
Panthers owner David Tepper has said the stadium will remain uptown. Moving offices and the team’s practice facility would actually free up space inside and next to the stadium that’s ripe for new development and fresh business opportunities.
