Let me start by saying this: I have total respect for anyone who wants to keep Carolina Panthers training camp in Spartanburg. After all, it has been a staple every summer for many Carolina Panthers fans. There are many people who aim to keep the team there, including figures with close ties to the place.
Late Friday, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports wrote a piece detailing the fact that many local figures in the area want the Spartanburg camp to stay. There are obvious economic benefits to having the training camp there as it generates over $40 million in revenue to the area.
