Then I’d say we should push for a completely nonsensical/original name. The Raleigh Renegades or something. I will say… as much as I’d love a “Raleigh” named team… The Carolina Copperheads idea still takes the cake, for me.

Ok how about the Raleigh Researchers?

The Raleigh Grays? They were a negro league team that played back in the 30’s-40’s, at Shaw’s field and Chavis Park.

I’m still a big fan of the Raleigh Reapers, but I like this one a lot if the Rays move here.

I think they should choose us just so they can have a cool name - Raleigh Rays. You just can’t go wrong with that.

I tried to zoom in more, the building to the left looks like the backside of a two-deck seating section.

LOL! If they build all of this, well that’s amazing.

But this may as well be me drawing the French castle I’m gonna buy and live in when I retire.

“Future NBA, NFL and SEC” spaces… this interesting in a mysterious way.

That’s just in reference to their portfolio so we could potentially get an MLB stadium out of this deal… if Dundon likes this location.

Cary voters just turned down a bond issue that would have built an indoor sports complex (for hosting basketball/volleyball tournaments and such.) There was like $75 million in county tourism funds dedicated to that project and now it’s dead.

Maybe this developer will be making a pitch for that?

Los Angeles doesn’t have many Lakes and Utah isn’t a mecca for Jazz. It would be fine.

It’s just a random insta reporting what we’ve already seen from the article and the developer’s website. That site doesn’t have the transit infrastructure for any pro or high-level college team.

I can assure you there is NO movement here in Charlotte for a baseball team. I am rooting for Raleigh to get it. We have 3 major league teams now with MLS NFL and NBA.
