I'd like to see them maybe use a sash or something other teams haven't been using. I'd rather have a light blue uniform than an all-black one. Plus, CLTFC's blue is very distinct from the rest of the league: Ideally, we'd have a checkerboard or pinstriped kit. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hmm, that $50M spent on renovations at BoA Stadium could have been put towards building a SSS for Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tepper really wants his domed, massive stadium, like Atlanta has, so it feels like this will be the last major renovation for BoA before we get that. Which is disappointing, because I much prefer outdoor games for both football and soccer. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read from the a 2019 Charlotte Business Journal article he wants that done in the next 10 years AND the taxpayers should fit the bill (no surprise on the last part).

Everything I've heard Tepper say on the subject has indicated that he'd like a new home for the Panthers - with a retractable roof to help lure the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four to Charlotte - built as close as possible to the current site of Bank of America Stadium. As a result, he's been eyeing Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company's 55-acre Uptown Charlotte site since 2019. With the plumbing systems manufacturer having announced the relocation of its headquarters to the Town of Oakboro in Stanly County, their Uptown site - located less than a mile from Bank of America Stadium - is in play. That said, it's all going to come down to the cost of acquiring the necessary land and constructing the stadium. Tepper's going to be looking for at least some public investment in the project, so whichever public entity is willing to pony up the most dough may well have an impact upon which side of the NC-SC border the facility winds up on.

MJWalker45 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 https://www.si.com/soccer/2021/04/16/us-soccer-open-cup-canceled US Open Cup is being reported as being put on hold as of this afternoon. They should go ahead and cancel it because the way they planned on picking the MLS teams, points after the first three weeks, made the least amount of sense.

I love the US Open Cup, but the schedule's too congested this year for it to be effective. Especially in a Gold Cup year. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Are these the first games to be played in the Miami MLS stadium? It looks awesome on TV. Unsurprisingly, the Florida-based stadium seems full enough and not a mask to be seen. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until pandemic-related border-crossing issues are resolved, the club's in question will be playing their respective home matches at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida; DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, UT.
