The Carolina Panthers are in need of renovations to their Bank of America Stadium and are seeking public funds to help pay for the project. According to Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer, it may be beneficial for team owner David Tepper to stay out of the limelight during the negotiations. By allowing the executive team under him to lead the proposal, Tepper has received advice to minimize his outward presence and let others handle the negotiations.
Tepper Sports & Entertainment has pledged $571 million towards the total price tag of $650 million for the stadium renovations. With a significant amount of public money at stake, it is important for Tepper to build trust and goodwill with the public. However, his past public interactions, such as an incident at a local restaurant, have not always been well received by the public.
In order to secure the necessary funding for the stadium renovations, it is crucial for Tepper and the Panthers to maintain a low profile and let their executives handle the proposal. This approach may help avoid any negative associations and increase the likelihood of the proposal being approved.
