MLS to Charlotte might be announced tomorrow

[Ja Rhule]

Tepper is in Orlando today meeting with MLS officials one last time before decision is made.  The announcement if MLS is coming to Charlotte might be made within 24 hours.

There is a reason the mint city group sent out membership info today and I signed up immediately. I’m stoked and hope it happens

Even if it doesn’t happen, dude is a beast.  Not sitting back and basking in his wealth.  Lots of good things to come IMO

I have been pleasantly surprised and glad to say that while he is not the guy I originally wanted...at this point I wouldn't want anyone else that was in the running.

No one else was in the running. The other owners had already picked Tepper as the next guy in the club and they were in a position to force JR into selling to Tepper if it had come down to it.

Fair enough, I will try to clarify.

Even if they had no chance, Tepper was still not the guy I originally wanted out of the people who were publicized as having a chance at getting it.

Apparently it's just about networking, unlikely to include news about a potential Charlotte team.

Just a coincidence - not anticipating any announcement today. But if it does come today I’m going to delete this

Hah! Well I am still excited about it and signed up even before reading this. I hope it’s announced today but if not I’m still excited

Im not a soccer fan at all (don't hate it, just ambivalent to it) but I think this could be huge. Not nfl huge, but still huge and I think the climate is right for something like this to succeed and tepper has enough savvy to make it work. I hope it does because it could mean huge things as far as upgrades to the stadium or a new one (which we're probably due for).

While I consider soccer unwatchable and boring, I'm excited for the economic opportunities this presents for the city.
