So Jacques Gilbert seems supportive of MLB, but I haven’t heard anything from Mayor Janet Cowell of Raleigh. She spoke on Downtown South, and she seems supportive what have you asked her about it.

Jacques is very supportive. Prior to his post yesterday, he’s reached out numerous times about finding ways to show support and bring awareness. So he’s onboard (as are other mayors around the Triangle who will likely publicly show support at a later time).
Raleigh city council is supportive and we’ve been told by them that Janet Cowell is as well. Some on the council have gone public with that, and some have not as of yet, however we’ve talked with everyone and haven’t had an ounce of trepidation with bringing MLB to Raleigh.
I think it’s safe to say at this point, it’s up to MLB. If MLB selects Raleigh as a market they want to expand/relocate into, then we’ll have a team one way or another.
