𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧: "𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧" 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐋𝐁 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡 Governor Josh Stein was in Charlotte at Bank of America Stadium when he made it clear that the state is ready to work to bring MLB to Raleigh. "Clearly, the Triangle is a lucrative and... potential market for MLB, and we're gonna be working to do all we can. And I think that the region really showed out. The viewership on this NHL playoffs were the highest in seven or eight years. People care about what happens here. One of the fastest growing metro areas in the country, 22nd largest media market, which places them in a bigger than any other potential expansion site in the country. So we're eager for this opportunity to be considered, and we'll do all we can to support it." (video from WCNC's Danielle Stein)show more

@NC_Governor Why tf would you put them in Raleigh over Charlotte??

@NC_Governor

@BasedMoneyLich @NC_Governor Do this from likely MLB stadium locations and it skews even more into the Triangle's favor as it pulls more of the Triad into those numbers.

@MLBRaleigh @NC_Governor Yup

@NC_Governor MLB needs Raleigh/Raleigh needs MLB⚾️

@NC_Governor You gotta feel a bit for the folks west of the Triangle. There hasn’t been a single Governor that cared about them except McCrory in 30+ years.

@NC_Governor Then they'd better prioritize the high speed rail from Charlotte to Raleigh.

Hey, 3 years after Charlotte landed the Panthers the city voted to fund the light rail. That's kind of how this ends up working in most cases. People scream at the top of their lungs for these infrastructure projects to be funded, and rightfully so, but it really ends up being projects like these that create the demand AND THE TAX REVENUE to make them possible.

@NC_Governor Yeah, I feel like we're 15 yrs and 2B in the hole and we're not closer to CLT-RDU high speed. They're underway on the wake corridor but Piedmont is stuck in tier I. Somehow Raleigh to Richmond looks like it's next. The intrastate stuff needs to move faster, w/e that looks like

@NC_Governor Charlotte would appeal to South and North Carolina. mistake putting in Raleigh

@NC_Governor Very interesting that he called out Raleigh while in Charlotte. Feels like maybe the state has picked a city.

@NC_Governor

@NC_Governor Even if they manage to get a team, I'm not changing my lifelong allegiance to the Braves

@NC_Governor K

@NC_Governor I’ve never been to a baseball game in my life but yeah I’d lock in if we had one

@NC_Governor Dundon can not afford MLB 🤣🤣

@EcreipMo @NC_Governor It has been said now for two years, the ownership group is not the problem. And after this Canes run, the phones are active and the meetings are happening.

@NC_Governor

@EcreipMo @NC_Governor

@NC_Governor

@NC_Governor And they would wear Rainbow uniforms this month.

@NC_Governor NC realizes games are played during the summer, middle of the day? People bitch about noon kickoffs in the fall. Ain't nobody supporting 81 home games

@NC_Governor Yes…it’s baseball. We double checked and 15% of games are midday. Take out April/May/Sept/Oct when temperatures arent too bad and we’re left with 7-8 for true summer, usually on Sundays for travel.

@NC_Governor Yeah and cities like Miami, Denver, Minneapolis, DC cannot afford to even put together a competitive team. And can't afford to resign star players. But somehow Raleigh can. The leagues finances are not the same as hockey. Straight up ignorance

@NC_Governor @E_Bron pls

@NC_Governor Will the stadium be 100 percent built and operated WITHOUT a hit on local property taxes???

@NC_Governor Yes.

@NC_Governor How? Give me details!

@NC_Governor Plenty of new articles about it.

@NC_Governor Send them to me, Bro! Better yet post them so others can see! Aren't you trying to sell this idea??

@NC_Governor With the current state of woke MLB nonsense and mistreatment of Christian athletes, I say “no thank you!”

@NC_Governor

@NC_Governor Raleigh, hell nah needs to be in Greensboro

@NC_Governor Why not a NBA team?

@NC_Governor Another team of professional losers.

@NC_Governor This is a dumb idea unless you put them in RTP and name them the Durham Bulls

@NC_Governor If there was a potential owner interested in an MLB franchise for Charlotte it would be a slam dunk for MLB to choose NC. Charlotte residents overwhelmingly will not support this team. SC's potential fan base is part of this equation too and selecting Raleigh kills that dead.
