Question for Baseball and Soccer fans of NC and SC.

Neither for me, I loved playing soccer and watching the world cup and premier league is great. Bad soccer like the mls is painful to watch. If I thought we could get a Seattle type atmosphere that'd be another story. As for baseball, the knights are fine with me.

A lot of the attraction is a good ballpark or soccer stadium. Most new MLS stadiums are awful: bleachers, no roof, miles from downtown/uptown (what's the difference?) and don't have adequate facilities. A 20-30k stadium could be fantastic, look at Brighton & Hove Albion, Bolton Wanderers, Coventry City etc.

A roof will invite more fans to come (did you see the Toronto game the other day?!) and will improve the atmosphere as it keeps the atmosphere in and project it.

Thats actually a tough question. So many people already have their favorite MLB team so I'm not sure how baseball would do in Charlotte. I would love to have a team here but it would probably always be my second team. As for soccer, too many people down here do not appreciate the sport. Maybe having a team would change that.

    • I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X. 
    • IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
