Raleigh Stadium/Arena/Sports Discussions

brother i will be heartbroken if the team is named anything but this. it’s perfect.

unsolicited reminder that raleigh’s own “copper head” (the capitol dome, one of 9 in the u.s.) is a beautiful branding opportunity for the team to locate in the capital city

It will almost certainly not be named Raleigh. Don’t get me wrong, if I got to name the team it’d be Raleigh, but the exact thing we’re talking about above (lack of unity) makes it impossible.

Could not care less if it’s called Raleigh or Carolina. Just get the damn team here. Thanks for all you are doing Loup

The harsh truth that some folks just cannot admit is that “Raleigh” simply DOES NOT have the name recognition as “Carolina” or even “Charlotte” for that matter. It was never not gonna be “Carolina” if they put the team here, and that’s COMPLETELY fine. We’re the Capital of Carolina, after all :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Primary desire, MLB IN Raleigh.
Secondary desire, team name contains Raleigh.

Let’s focus on 1.

it’s a vicious loop. You can’t be named Raleigh because we don’t have name recognition. We can’t get name recognition because the team won’t be named Raleigh.

Well, someone has registered the domain carolinacopperheads.com. but not raleighcopperheads.com. Reminds me of the local attorney who registered the name Carolina Hurricanes with the NC Secretary of State right before they announced the move to Raleigh: Lawyer Claims Ownership of Hurricane's Name

“New site will drop soon with some ballpark imagery/vision, and the tagline will be 'The official movement to bring MLB to North Carolina’s capital city.”

TIming on this is weeks or months?

Someone should’ve told him the stadium was downtown so he missed the game
