Hopes of a Rock Hill home for the Carolina Panthers went up in proverbial smoke quite a while ago. But we’ll be seeing a more literal representation of the saying in a few hours.
York County officials have confirmed that the remaining foundational elements of the failed facility are set to be demolished by blasting crews on Tuesday.
The blasts, per a tweet from the county’s Office of Emergency Management, are expected to take place around 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. ET, with the possibility of a third later in the day. If the third cannot be conducted before dark, it will be scheduled for Wednesday at approximately 9 a.m. ET.
280 Mount Gallant Road in Rock Hill, S.C. was supposed to play host a new $800 million headquarters for the Panthers—one that would’ve also served as a training camp facility. Instead, well-documented disputes over funding between owner David Tepper and York County, blew that idea to bits.
Now, on Tuesday, the site will take a step closer to becoming office space while the Panthers reconvene for training camp down in Spartanburg, S.C.
