So it’s up to them,”A bill which would give the Panthers $115 million in tax breaks in return for building a practice facility about 20 miles south of their stadium has met with some resistance (as public handouts for billionaires are wont to do).The Panthers are looking at a large parcel of land Deandre Baker Jersey , on which they’d build an indoor facility, practice fields, a sports medicine center, and a hotel (and a lot of other development to funnel money Tepper’s way).“It’s going to cost us a lot of money to go down to South Carolina,” Tepper said. “We’re going to have to put out real money to go down there. So it’s not like we get that money from South Carolina Oshane Ximines Jersey , and that’s it. There’s a lot of money in a facility that we have to invest.“They’ll have to make a decision whether they want it or not . . . I’ll stay in Charlotte.
