Season Ticket Holder-Email about next season

[Chapelchilla]

We just received our annual renewal notice for the full season ticket package.

Of note-

They will finish renovations on the Arena this summer. Includes- New open gathering areas on the main level kinda like the Nest. Finish updates on the suites. Other new features tba.

Best part - Everyone gets New seats! 2 inches wider too.

Breaking ground on the new performance center shortly.

Committed to building a long term winner and the community.

My tickets actually became slighter cheaper for 25/26. Which is pretty cool and the right thing to do, considering.

Now if we can just win this lottery's #1 pick, get fully healthy, bring in a back up PG, build some confidence and consistency then we're headed straight to the top baby!
lol

Thanks Chapelchilla. It’s tough trying to keep season ticket holders when the floor product remains putrid. Hope sells for a while, and there is still hope for sure. New wider seats are nice too! Kudos to you for being there for them.

nothing gets the season ticket holders going like a celebration of the team spending $275 million dollars of taxpayer money on facility upgrades to further personally enrich the ownership while they give you Elf Payton and Wendell Moore to cheer for

the corporations that own these seats and suites have no idea whos on the roster, theyre locked into these as with a generic marketing budget and most likely simply dont bother to cancel, not unlike me paying for my 8th straight month of Paramount+ that i haven't opened in 7

Reading the OP and then this post almost back-to-back was like listening to the State of the Union and then the minority party's response.

Look DebbieWalker - it's not taxpayer's of Charlotte's money- the $ comes from the hotel taxes and has to be spent on the stadiums in town.
It also doesn't personally enrich the owners, the city still owns the facility.
Sure those guys are already rich and I wish we could all go to the games for free but that's not gonna happen.
Personally, I wish they didn't suck this year but to be fair they told us in person at the beginning of the season what the plan was. Tanking was not an accident or because they're stupid. They need a top pick/top talent.
Hopefully they execute the rest of the plan they laid out equally as well as they did in stinking. Lowering prices for STM's was a nice gesture for our loyalty during the tank.
We are not nearly as bad as it looks right now and I think they improve a good bit next year and actually go for it the following one. Getting a Flagg or a Harper would help accelerate that a bunch obviously.
Anyway, I am cool with putting my $ where my mouth is and we usually had a good time at the games I went to this season and in the years past. When they finally get better we will be more than ready....
Go Hornets!

Not to pile on, but this approach (just much louder and echoed by the politicians at the time) is what pushed the Hornets out of town back in 2002.

Hey man, if you're a satisfied customer (and satisfied tax paying Charlottean) thats happy with the product then I'm happy for you. For both our sakes I can only hope theres an actual plan that isn't revolving around the incredibly unlikely 1-2 pick. On that, I'm skeptical

[Chapelchilla]

The plan they laid out was-

1. Reset the franchise's operating system (better road hotels, new training team - medical and food services , get new coach)
Did that
2. Change the culture- work hard individually and as a team, get in shape, reshape the roster, move out the contracts of the previous ownership players who don't fit and the organization dudes (like Larry Jordan and Fred Whitfield)
Did that
3. Rebuild the Hive into a modern NBA class arena for both the team and fans
Doing that
4. Build a new first class training/health/practice facilities
Doing that shortly
5. Acquire top end talent and add culture setters and stockpile draft picks
Working on that with the tank and trades
6. Tweak the roster around those guys we draft or bring in and learn to win
Next step
7. Cash in the rest of the picks for the missing pieces based on how step 6 goes

That was most of the plan they laid out in the town hall meeting we went to. They say they want sustainable success and will do what it takes to achieve that in Charlotte.
They also took tough questions too re- Miles, their willingness to spend, accountability, keeping the team here etc. We were impressed TBH. Jordan NEVER met with us and never laid out a detailed plan publicly.
So far we are about half way thru the plan and they are 1 1/2 years in. I hope that by the 2026/27 trade deadline season we are pretty much on step 7 and one of the better teams that is also still young and on an upswing.

If not, we will do some revaluation of the ownership and our continued support of the team financially.

all the arena stuff, training facility was all locked in pre Schnotkin, their super amazing medical staff has led us to the worst injury plagued season I've ever seen a team have, culminating in the leader of this new super amazing player health squad literally QUITTING the team midseason lol. the coaching staff speaks for itself, simply look at the names of these guys and the result on the floor. it all speaks for itself. JP and Lee are buddies with the owners going back years, not guys chosen through some meritocratic process. Salaun pick speaks for itself, the whiffed trade of MW has damaged this core permanently. the teams even managed to embarrass NATIONALLY itself with stupid easy stuff like Christmas giveaway half time shows.

Schnotkin is an absolute mess and disaster, just waiting for everyone else to realize it I guess

Well, you just told us Mark would be lost for nothing and never play for the Hornets again so not sure about your takes. You seem to love to troll the board with whoa is mi-sery hot take posts to get a rise so I guess we will have to wait a couple seasons and see how it goes. You may even need a new handle!

I’m personally still waiting for Mark to play post trade, whatever trash he’s been doing lately shows he’s still on vacation

If you want to be really pissed think about what tepper did with rock hill and the renovations about to occur to that stadium that don’t even look up to snuff to stadium renovations 10 years ago. That’s a hot billion. I don’t live in charlotte so I don’t care. But the panthers will be renovating again in 5 years if their drawings videos and stuff are correct. lol.
