Correct. Which is actually a good thing. Always thought they were one of the biggest wastes of space in the arena. Especially when it came to concerts.

These new nonstops couldn’t have come at a better time. My family was already planning a trip to Alberta this summer. Definitely going to take advantage of that Calgary flight.

What is the post in question?

Yea the cost to remove that rock is excessive. I remember when they were building the Wachovia HQ/Duke Energy Center back in the late 2000s they had to do a lot of blasting to remove all the rock. Took a good while to do that.

Annnnd this is why I don’t gamble. It’s to built a major tennis facility to host the Western and Southern open starting in 2026. Huge potential economic impact. Facility to be located in the River District.

If I were a betting man, this is about hosting the NFL Draft in Charlotte:

Charlotte constantly being mentioned as a relo or expansion option continues to be intriguing considering there is no plan for a ballpark or prospective ownership group. I don’t see Tepper jumping on that. Jordan could if he does follow through with selling his majority share of the Hornets. But do we really want him running another franchise the way he has with them? I wouldn’t want that. I could maybe see a group of NASCAR drivers/team owners or maybe one of the other CEO’s of our F500 companies in town bringing a group together. But that hasn’t happened. Feels like it’s more of a talking point for the media than anything else right now.

^Well before the building boom started in Southend/Dilworth, and there was limited options compared to today, Fuel was one of our staples for late night or post hangover pizza. Agreed, it never changed. Sometimes there's nothing wrong with that.

Looks like Fuel Pizza abruptly closed because of rising rent... Wonder what's next? Going out on a limb and say it's another residential or mixed use high rise since two are already under construction near by. https://charlotte.axios.com/322759/fuel-pizza-in-south-end-closes-because-of-rising-rent-prices/

There are Piece of Sheet owners, then there is Dan Snyder... Dude takes the cake.

100% accurate. The only thing Finebaum is interested in is social media clicks and getting whomever else talking or wound up so they have a segment on ESPN to talk about X issues. That's it. Regarding Rhule, he'll get a college job somewhere next season (early favorite is Nebraska is my guess). He's a college coach. Obviously wasn't cut out for the NFL. I'm wishing Wilks the best and hope he can find a way to restore order but don't be surprised if another NFL coordinator gets the gig for 2023 (DeMeco Ryans, Ken Dorsey, Shane Steichen, etc.). I know a lot of the talk is Sean Payton, but I find it hard to believe the Saints would part with him since he's under contract still without asking for the farm in return.

Exactly... You don't get that rich by always playing by the rules.

The apartment tower is supposed to be 45 stories. Office will be 42 stories (and taller height wise given that it's office obviously). I doubt the apartment tower goes much higher than 500' if it all depending on the parking... The museum tower is 43 stories and 455' (I think)

Centene recently backed out of a rather large expansion in their home in St Louis. They also started to divest some of their European businesses as well. When I saw those things, I started to wonder what may happen here. Something about this company just reeks to me now.. but sucks for sure... At least there will be brand spanking new large office space for someone else to come in and grab.

How about Charlotte and Raleigh boosters just learn to co-exist with one another and realize both metros offer very positive things to the NC economy and image? The narrative that one is superior to the other on this board has become so F'ing exhausting...
