Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper is looking to buy up to 200 acres of land in York County in the Rock Hill area to relocate the NFL team’s headquarters and build new training facilities, according to two sources close to the negotiations.
To facilitate the move, the Panthers and the S.C. governor’s office are discussing potential infrastructure projects to improve traffic flow at I-77 exits in York County, the governor’s office said.
Tepper and Gov. Henry McMaster also are working together to explore whether plans underway to extend the Rock Hill airport’s runway will be enough to meet the Panthers’ needs.
