Charlotte Knights Stadium Construction

Construction is really flying along on the Knights Stadium.

Much of the structure is already up. It's pretty amazing because they have really only been working on it for 5 months or so I believe. Really looking forward to catching some games on Thursday nights next season.

I work near it and it looks completely different almost every time I pass it.  I'm really looking forward to it as well.  I just wish someone would kill that fine young male Homer and then the games would be perfect.

Trouble is when the Knights play "uptown", the prices are going to triple for EVERYTHING!  Right now, the Knights have the lowest prices around of any sports near Charlotte.  (OK, the Kannapolis Intimidators are cheaper.)  Same thing happened to the Checkers when they moved from the "I arena" to the TWC bowl.  The prices tripled for everything. 

 

I love seeing baseball came back to uptown, (How many people went to see the Charlotte O's when they played on Magnolia St?  I remember when it burned to the ground!)  I just wish the prices could stay near the same.  It's the cheapest date in town right now. 

 

Kiss the fireworks good-bye as well!

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
