#CCU19 I am the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers' #1 fan. I'm a fan of the North Carolina Courage, Carolina Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, and Charlotte Hornets.
The ONE thing I will say in favor of this is if you are a soccer fan in an American city that just missed out, with 64 teams your city probably isnโt missing out again.
Chicago, Washington DC, Charlotte: Iโm talking to you.
North Carolina should be a relocation site for now. The @Braves make the best candidate for relocating to NC. It would be a perfect MLB partner for the @AUSL_Blaze. They should be the Carolina Braves in the NL. Atlanta can get a replacement team in a future expansion wave.

If this plan gets into the coming budget, baseball in NC becomes inevitable.
If not, we risk closing the door on it.
Yesterday, @WRAL reporter @murphsturph broke the news that there is a fully fleshed-out, Senate-led proposal to fund an MLB stadium if North Carolina were to be selected.
Their goal is to have that in this coming budget, and there is a strong consensus across party lines, but the NC House is hoping to block it.
