If the Carolina Panthers lose this weekend to the New Orleans Saints, their season would be over – and the team would officially be for sale.
With a new owner comes new questions about 22-year-old Bank of America Stadium.
Would the new ownership group want a new stadium? Or would they be content to stay at South Mint Street?
Felix Sabates, a minority owner of the Charlotte Hornets, told the Observer this week he is part of a group of five investors that’s considering making a bid for the team. Sabates said the Panthers would need a new stadium to generate more revenue, to make the possible sale price of between $2 billion and $3 billion feasible.
