Charlotte???

baseball typcially allows fans that can't get into any other games to get in, plus it'd be during the summer - The cheapest baseball tickets are more affordable than the cheapest football or Basketball (in the new arena) tickets, plus it's during the summer for the most part.

 

i agree, and that is fine with me if we can get them moved there.

 

but if we was to get a team- wouldnt it be a nice if we had a unique field-like fenway has the monster. but i still doubt that we will get a team- at least for 10 more years.

 

Can you imagine P Russ hitting home runs in his hometown ballpark? That would be awesome man.

 

yup- i could see him 10 years down the road going 3-4 with a hr-batting 5th as a pitcher- and throwing a perfect game for the Charlotte Russes.

 

No chance Charlotte is even remotely ready for a MLB team this decade. First off, why would the city of Charlotte even want to get involved? Bottom line is that investing in MLB right now is a BAD deal. And I love baseball!! However, as big a fan as I am, I might only be able to attend maybe a dozen games max. Where are the 15K season ticket holders that would attend all 82 games? I just don't see it for Charlotte. Start by moving the Knights to southend before we delve into the world of MLB.

Sadly, I think we're going to learn our lesson of attendance with the Bobcats. I think Bob Johnson and Co. are doing a great job of promoting the team (before even one player is signed!), but still think its an uphill battle.

Too much concern about what other people think about our city. I never understood this.

 

In another 10-15 years when Charlotte metro population hits 2 million, we will be able to support MLB . . No way we can do that now when you also consider the funding needed to build a new ballpark is tied up in the UPtown Arena. Only when this city gets bigger and folks are more open to having the hotel/motel & rental car tax increased then we can go after MLB .

 

maybe when the bobcats flop the knights can move uptown.

 

yea- maybe. or maybe russ can talk bud selig into getting us a team-its a good possibility.
