Checkers to Play Outdoors in ‘24

[TheCandyMan]

Like I said in another post, I haven’t been to a Checkers game since the affiliation change, but this one may be a fun one. The Queen City Winter Classic in January of ‘24 at Truist Field.

Not Canes related.  Checkers are dead to me. Go Wolves!

Yeah, which is why I don't care about this.  Checkers are traitors.

Canes working out a deal with Chicago wolves surprised the Checkers.  It was a Canes organization decision. Waddell danced all around it but it was for more money. It’s always the money.

Waddell:

” So financially, yes there is more money and it’s not coming to us it’s going to the players, but most importantly it’s a great opportunity for our players … the working relationship is first and foremost.”

So click on a topic that is, haha.

I still hate the affiliation change, but an outdoor game in Charlotte is pretty cool considering its never been done before.
