Will it be Carolina like the panthers to encompass all the Carolina’s?

The AAA Charlotte Knights lead the minors in attendance IIRC

An MLB team would do well.

It was comical how shitty the atmosphere was in Vegas for the Stanley Cup final compared to Carolina


Was waiting for the obligatory shot at Vegas. Lame.

Carolina Aviators
Carolina Pilots

If we didn’t live in a near humorless society, this would be awesome:

Carolina Bootleggers

Carolina Flyers (first in flight nod)
Charlotte Monarchs (nod to being the “Queen City”)
Carolina Catawbas (local river and lost tribe)
Charlotte Bulls (nod to being one of the largest financial hubs in the U.S.)
Carolina Megalodons (fossils found)

It's also firmly Braves country


Not as much as Charlotte or western North Carolina.

Been living in Raleigh for 5 years and have never seen anyone wear Braves gear.

I haven’t even heard anyone say can you put on the Braves game at a bar.

Not sure how firmly Raleigh is Braves country.

As the City of Oaks, this is a solid pick.

I’ve always been mystified by that.

When you drive or fly into the Raleigh area, you notice the tall pine trees much more so than the oaks.

A North Carolina MLB team sounds like an attendance failure


I don’t think NC gets an MLB franchise, but this definitely won’t be the reason. The Braves would block any expansion team that close to them. NC is a huge part of their market.

Would be a nice homage name for the short-lived Seattle Pilots.

If Bulls, why not build the ballpark in Durham and promote the Durham Bulls to MLB? It’s a cool, established brand. Could be like the Packers of MLB, despite the city being a major player in the fast growing Triangle metro area.

Fun Carolina / MLB acquisition trivia:

In 1998, the Minnesota Twins looked at (or used as leverage for a new ballpark) relocating to the Carolinas with Kernersville, NC being the destination city. Kernersville is located between Winston-Salem and Greensboro.
