I found a potential site for a baseball stadium that doesn’t have insuperable, deal-breaking impediments! This site has everything you could want in a location for a Major League Baseball stadium:
The site is actually large enough to accommodate a real Major League Baseball stadium, which is a nice perk.
No one is currently pre-leasing a 10-story building slated to be constructed on this land, nor is anyone planning to build an “entertainment district” there, nor is there a NCRR-owned railroad line running through it.
The site is not in a rapidly gentrifying area where displacement would be a major concern. The plans wouldn’t even have to paint over any churches serving communities of color to make room for parking lots or “mixed-use development.”
The site is at the intersection of two major freeways, which would be super useful to conveying traffic to the stadium since Raleigh lacks any sort of public transportation system that would be helpful in getting people to a stadium. And you wouldn’t even have to build any new parking for cars since the parking already exists!
Unlike the prison site, someone could actually purchase this land. And unlike the Cargill site, they could probably do so at a price that would actually be pretty reasonable.
The site is, technically speaking, in the city limits of Raleigh.
There’s so much to love here that I’m shocked no one at MLB to Raleigh has already pounced on this idea. We could even honor the rich history of this location by calling the team the Raleigh Triangles.
