NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to answer questions from fans Wednesday at camp

August 1st, 2011, 10:44 pm · Post a Comment · posted by

   NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will hold a forum for fans at the Panthers practice field at Wofford College on Wednesday around 5:15 p.m., about 45 minutes before the team’s practice. The forum will take place on the bank overlooking the lighted practice field at Wofford and fans are invited to participate.

   It will be Goodell’s first visit to Spartanburg since he became Commissioner and comes following the successful negotiation of an unprecedented 10‐year Collective Bargaining Agreement for the League and its players. The Commissioner will arrive in Spartanburg Wednesday afternoon and attend practice after the forum.

   Goodell has conducted numerous forums since becoming Commissioner, but Wednesday will be his first since ratification of the CBA by both the owners and players. During the negotiations, Goodell worked closely with Carolina Panthers Owner/Founder Jerry
Richardson, who served as co‐chair of the League’s 10‐owner executive committee. The CBA allows the NFL to maintain competitive balance while providing economic support to past players and focusing on the health and safety of our current players.

   Wofford College is the alma mater of Richardson and has been the home of the Panthers training camp since the team’s inaugural season in 1995.
