If a new uptown Charlotte (NC) is built for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights (International League), it will be called BB&T Ballpark. The details of the Knights’ naming rights deal with BB&T Corporation were not disclosed. Read more here. Thanks to John Cerone for the link.




They need to get this done! That is a desolate section of Uptown Charlotte, long ago leveled most just dirt/grass/weed lots used as overflow football parking 8 days a year. Time to make use of it, bring the team back in the city with 70+ games in the middle of it all, close to all major highway access and blocks from thriving nightlight — but Uptown needs more family friendly activities, plus getting all the sports teams close to center city is good too!
