MLB in Durham?

[Panthers Fan 69]

Mods, not sure what sub this should be under. Anyways, possible Tampa Bay Rays playing in Durham due to Milton taking off the roof of their stadium.

I don't really watch baseball but wasn't that stadium in bad condition already?

 

No surprise it took the roof off.

I thought this was going to be about Tepper buying the white Sox and moving them to Raleigh lol

The stadium was the MLB equivalent of Fedex field. It was a piece of poo but they are moving to a new one in 2028

Raleigh is the heartbeat of the Carolina's.

Am I the only one who opened up this thread thinking 1) who is Durham? and 2) why we'd want him playing MLB?

I'm moving this thread in the morning.

I'd be willing to cede everything east of Hickory to SC if I'm being honest.

Nonsense. You westerners are basically all Clemson fans.

You guys take your fuging ketchup based BBQ sauce and their mustard based BBQ sauce and fuging go make hot dogs.

It’s either App, NC State, or Clemson west of Hickory.

Those are ghost towns. Sadly Western NC is not that important in the sports world.

 

Im still trying to figure out why Charlotte isn't a factor in college sports. The biggest city in the Carolina's can't get athletes?

It’s a fairly new program.  College football came to Charlotte only like 9 years or so ago.
