Governor Roy Cooper made it known yesterday that the state of North Carolina is already known for college sports. We have several top-level pro sports teams in the Carolina Hurricanes, Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Hornets, Charlotte FC, and NC Courage. Roy Cooper said he wants to add another. He wants a Major League Baseball team in North Carolina. Dennis Cox & Pat Welter discuss if this is possible and which city in the state has the best chance of hosting a team.

Charlotte A’s ⚾️
As a native North Carolinian, it is a huge, huge missed opportunity by the MLB to not have a team in the Carolinas. Baseball is the #1 sport played in North & South Carolina, it’s not even close. Look how many Carolinas teams were just in the NCAA regionals.
Whether it’s in Charlotte or even Myrtle Beach, it would be huge for the region.
If we get a MLB team in Raleigh I wonder what that means for the Durham Bulls?
You guys are Raleigh biased charlottes the best option
I would love an MLB team in RTP, Raleigh or Cary. After all we already have USA Baseball in Cary and US Soccer will be using WakeMed Soccer Park for training, and we still have the NC Courage. RTP would be a great, central location near RDU International. I guess we just have to pray that it happens in the next five to ten years.
