The NFL Panthers are planning to build a new team HQ and practice facility in York County, S.C., "just over the state line" from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Sources said that the team is "actively looking for a Palmetto State site large enough for its needs as well as development of neighboring hotels, restaurants, stores and residences." One location under "serious consideration is an 80-acre site" of the former Triple-A Int'l League Knights' ballpark and Hornets practice facility. It is "unclear whether the training camp would move to York County." The Panthers' facility reportedly is "being modeled after" The Star built by the Cowboys ( POSTANDCOURIER.com, 12/12 ).
