1wI thought that billionaire Tepper should put up the bulk of the money not the other way around. What projects will NOT be completed because of the drain on the account? Does this make the TEAM any better? Charlotte deserves more out of our professional sports teams then constantly losing. 800 million in improvements going to get us another Super Bowl appearance? The threat is ALWAYS well other cities want pro football so you better pony up. The beat goes on!
