MLB in CLT

our goal is to bring an MLB expansion team to Charlotte, NC #MLBinCLT

@m_a_h_o_n_e_y @USLS_Carolina No denying there's a lot of great talent in this great city. We're here to help the city shine on the world stage in every field, and pitch

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@Paingaroo @clt_alliance @CLTgov @CLTMayor @cltecon Exactly! That's why we need to whip this city in shape so Raleigh doesn't steal this opportunity

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

.@clt_alliance, now is the time for us to discuss #MLBinCLT

@SportsDespair @CLT_SocialClub I do need to talk to @clt_alliance…

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@SportsDespair @CLT_SocialClub It's been working for the Braves for decades. And it works for MLS in CLT

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@SportsDespair @CLT_SocialClub We are on the commissioner's informal list for expansion teams

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@Paingaroo @brentgilroy @CLTdevelopment @architecturejks Yes, I understand

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@architecturejks Come help us in Charlotte

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@CLTdevelopment @livecoug @0Gstank @DonCornelius70 @architecturejks @MLBRaleigh I want 120mph trains

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@CLTdevelopment @0Gstank @livecoug @DonCornelius70 @architecturejks @MLBRaleigh Charitable donations do not count towards GDP because it's not paying for a good or service, but is instead seen as "social surplus". The charity spending the money for actual goods or services would count towards GDP

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@CLTdevelopment @livecoug @0Gstank @DonCornelius70 @architecturejks @MLBRaleigh It's also a function of population density vs sparse desert and barren mountains

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@CLTdevelopment @0Gstank @DonCornelius70 @architecturejks @MLBRaleigh I meant specifically the 2002 Winter Olympics, which you know requires a ton of local infrastructure funding

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@CLTdevelopment @0Gstank @DonCornelius70 @architecturejks @MLBRaleigh Didn't they fund the Winter Olympics? Or was that just an SNL skit?

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@DonCornelius70 @0Gstank @CLTdevelopment @architecturejks @MLBRaleigh Now that the two stadium negotiations have been settled in Oakland and Tampa Bay, expansion to 32 will be the next big issue @MLB works on the next few years

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@CLTdevelopment @0Gstank @DonCornelius70 @architecturejks @MLBRaleigh If the Tampa Bay stadium discussion had broken down, I would have half-expected the Rays to move to Charlotte

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@0Gstank @CLTdevelopment @DonCornelius70 @architecturejks If NC and the USDOT get serious about building the SEHSR within the next two decades, downtown Greensboro could be a fun suburban location for the ballpark

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@CLTdevelopment We should meet for a drink sometime

[MLB in CLT @MLBinCLT]

@CLTdevelopment @architecturejks Yeah, I'm not saying it's a good place for our stadium, though it'd be in great proximity to a Silver Line stop; I'm just saying that I like the view

Maybe a little farther west along Wilkinson Blvd? Or replace the Park Expo? Either way, great access to the Silver Line
