CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Team owner David Tepper has mentioned many times that he wants a new stadium for the Carolina Panthers.
WCNC Charlotte found out that Tepper isn't just talking about it — but actively meeting with stadium architects.
“We know David," said Bryan Trubey of HKS Architects in Dallas. "We know him well. He’s been in our office here.”
Trubey and HKS are leading designers of NFL stadiums whose projects include the home of the Dallas Cowboys, and the $5 billion Rams stadium in Los Angeles which opens in June.

“We’ve created the highest-value buildings in the NFL period," said Trubey.
Trubey says about a year ago, Carolina owner David Tepper and Chief Operating Officer Mark Hart were in his office – where he showed them what the Panthers could have if they gave HKS the project.
