Raleigh Stadium/Arena/Sports Discussions

John , I have not heard any update about this in a year , but a year ago Memphis was going to do a DowntownSouth type of project downtown .

Clearly by how people are voting with their feet, Memphis is a very risky investment. I don’t think that there’s much validity to a “build it and they will come” strategy for that city. The reason it makes sense for Raleigh is that people have come and continue to come in large numbers.

Yahoo . Com Streaming News has listed Durham as a 20 year potential NFL Future Team .

I don’t believe that for a millisecond

A downtown arena would be a game changer. I still think the government owned plot of land south of Seaboard Station with nothing but hideous state buildings on it right now would be ideal (formerly where the NCFC stadium was proposed).

Charlotte’s got a lot … of … meh …?

I think that logo is fine. Colors match the Panthers, and it looks pretty classy. And IMO “minted” instead of “established” is clever.

Being honest, wish it was ours/that we had MLS.

[Loup20]

Zero character, zero attitude…it fits Charlotte perfectly!

[JFG]

The secondary logo is much better.

I hate those three letters as an abbreviation for Charlotte. Perhaps I’m old school NBA or something, but Cha has a nice ring to it. The other, well, doesn’t.

Reddit MLS just keeps roasting Charlotte for being bland and average.

Isn’t Charlotte the Queen City? That looks more like a king crown which just screams that they don’t like their city slogan. And they can’t be the king city. Am I reading into it?

[JimMcK]

Atleast they get points for consistency, CLT is the abbreviation for the airport in Charlotte.

[mike]

This. is. so. much. better!

This guy agrees with me on the crown thing.

[Deekay93]

Absolutely hate this. Clip art with Microsoft word stock font.

NCFC branding was/is so much better.

[trueurbanist]

F*** ‘em. This is Arsenal territory until we get our MLS team like we deserve

[trueurbanist]

It’s beyond atrocious, a total disgrace to NC

[UncleJesse]

So is Cincinnati…so they aren’t even original on that front either…

[Jake]

I must be the only one that truly does not give a single sh*t about soccer, major league or otherwise lmao. It’s one of the blandest sports out there so is it not perfectly fitting for Charlotte???
