Very nice, will probably have to make my first trip to Charlotte to see it in a few years... Even though my wife and I vacation in North Carolina quite a bit, have never had any desire to go to Charlotte and then have to drive to the boonies to see the Knights.

Well you've vacationed in North Carolina, not South. I assume the new stadium will be in the same state as the city of which it's named.

Thank goodness. That old one was a dump.

I had watched a lot of good baseball at the Castle, but I will not miss that place.
