NC aint gettin a team

if anything it would be a "Carolina" team

but it's not gonna happen

6/28/2006 1:12:40 PM

not a large enough fan base in a concentrated area.

greensboro would probably be the only city that would be an option because of the proximity to Raleigh and Charlotte.

i wish it'd happen, just don't see it.

maybe the marlins will come up here one day.

Carolina Barbequers - Mascot would be a Pig...oh wait...Stormy might get pissed

I always though it would be cool if the Florida Marlins moved to NC and kept the name Marlins. You can catch marlin off the NC coast so why not.

6/28/2006 1:21:49 PM

carolina marlins has a nice ring to it.

why would greensboro be the only city? Charlotte and raleigh seperately have 3 out of the 4 major sports teams.

Raleigh would probably be good for a team, just because people from Charlotte seem to be more loyal to the braves than they are up here.

g'boro is the best b/c it may be able to draw from raleigh and charlotte. neither of these cities alone would be enough to support close to 100 home games per year.

Piedmont BollWeevils was always a favorite name of mine, I say we bring it back.

(they changed their name to the Kann. Intimidators)

If G-boro got a team, I'd love it if the nickname were Triads.

i agree that neither charlotte or raleigh could sufficiently support 81 home games

but i think greensboro could support even less

how many people from charlotte or raleigh are going to get off work and drive to g-bizzle for day games etc?

that said my suggestion would be the Carolina Clear and Cream

^^ In 1995 we didn't choke so your use of "always" is incorrect. Now if you stated "Since 1986, the Mets always never win the World Series", then the use of "always" would be correct.

Hmmm... maybe if they put a stadium somewhere between RTP and Raleigh, we could have that highway fucked up for a good 5-6 hours after 5 PM for a fair share of summer nights.
