Would Charlotte Support The Tampa Rays?

Charlotte is one of the worst sports towns in the country. They would be retarded to move here.

What is your proof to back up your statement? Why did the NBA want to replace the Hornets so quickly after they left?

I think Charlotte would have sold out that game if one of their team was about to clinch a playoff spot.

It's not a bad sports town, it's just young. We haven't quite had the time (or winning consistency in the teams) to develop our own identity. Charlotte is still primarily in its first and second generation of fans.

As for the Rays in Charlotte, they'd be no better off here than in Tampa (though we could give them a baseball-friendly climate and a nicer park.) If you think its tough trying to develop a Rays fanbase there, take a look at the 47-page Atlanta Braves thread...

That's not even counting the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs and other large MLB fan contingencies found in NC.

    • I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.     
    • This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
