This could be huge for North Carolina in general for possibly landing an MLS team.

 

I would prefer to see Man U play being a Red Devils fan since I was 15 but I'm going to go just to see all the guys (Kolo Toure, Stevie G, Agger, Leiva, Sturridge, Suarez, Aguero, Dzeko, Nasri, Yaya Toure, Villa, etc)...

 

It should be a great event, hopefully Charlotte shows out.

 

And for those that don't care... event committees like the Final Four and Super Bowl look at how cities perform during similar events... so if you want a Super Bowl in Charlotte in the future, I wouldn't be complaining about a soccer match.

Charlotte will never host a Super Bowl.

People said the same thing about Indianapolis. 

 

Trust me, I've actually taken a Sports Event and Facilities class, I know these things... If Charlotte can showcase the city in a manner similar to the Super Bowl (The X Games would have been ideal), the Super Bowl committee will take notice if the city is persistent in trying to get the game to Charlotte. However, that also includes building the necessary amenities (extra hotels, restaurants, bars, tourists attractions) to make the city hospitable for a Super Bowl.

 

The stadium upgrades will also help as well. However stadiums like Levi's stadium, the new Vikings Stadium, and the new Falcons stadium will have precedence over Charlotte due to the overall newness and freshness of those stadiums (see MetLife: built in 2010 (newest stadium in the NFL). However, don't be surprised if you see Charlotte thrown in with some of those other cities once the full renovation is complete.

 

The Man City/Liverpool game will definitely help in showcasing Charlotte because you will get people to drive down from D.C. and Virginia plus people to drive up from South Carolina and Georgia to see the game. Not to mention that the RDU area (which is one of the best area's for youth soccer) will likely fill half of the stadium.

 

The point is that for anyone to right this game off as "stupid" is super misinformed or just doesn't understand about the concept of Sporting Events and how they help a community (see Indianapolis when they were able to host the Super Bowl).

That's fine, you probably studied to be a computer engineer or something of that sorts as where I chose (am choosing) to pursue a career in sports (and that class I mentioned happened to be a class that is required). Not only that, but it was a very helpful class. I'm guessing you haven't had the opportunity to get a back ground tour of the Verizon Center (home of the Capital's, Wizards, and Hoyas), tour Camden Yards (home of the Orioles), or get a back ground tour of M&T Bank Stadium (home of the Ravens). All perks of that class...

 

I just figured I'd give you some background info on what I know, so you can understand that I'm not one of those posters that posts rumors or ideas that they try to make seem like rumors.

 

Everything in that above post is foundationally solid, whether you believe it or not is your choice.

I received my MBA from Charlotte.

I've seen games at Bank of America Stadium (Panthers), Charlotte Coliseum (Hornets), & TWC Arena (Bobcats), Turner Field (Braves), Nationals Park (Nationals), Camden Yards (Orioles), Citizens Bank Park (Phillies), New Yankee Stadium (Yankees), Rogers Centre (Blue Jays), Jacob's Field (Indians), & AT&T Park (Giants).

I toured the Dean E Smith Center while at Roy Williams' basketball camp, New Yankee Stadium with my girlfriend while on vacation, & AT&T Park while visiting a friend who plays for the Giants.

What the fug is your point?

Walking around stadiums has absolutely nothing to do with the Super Bowl. The NFL has already stated numerous times that Charlotte does not have the resources to host a Super Bowl.

Neither does your choice of wasting time in college for a career path with little to no job opportunities.

Again, what is your point?
