Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper isn’t used to not getting what he wants. And since purchasing the franchise back in 2018, he hasn’t gotten much—at least as far as the football side of the business is concerned.
Those misfortunes continued on Tuesday, with the latest news on the team’s Rock Hill, S.C. development shedding a not-so-flattering light on Tepper. In a report from the Charlotte Business Journal, a York County councilman said he believes the Panthers have permanently abandoned the construction of their 240-acre headquarters.
On March 7, Tepper Sports & Entertainment claimed the city of Rock Hill did not follow through on their initial promises—$225 million in taxpayer money—to help fund the project. The team has since denied the city’s hopes of devising alternative financing plans for the property.
