Thursday is the start of the Charlotte Knights season, and it is possibly the LAST season they’ll play in Fort Mill. I predict, in answer to one of the questions asked by The Herald, that attendance WILL be up, as people take advantage of what might be the last year minor league baseball is so readily available to see in person!

The battle continues in Charlotte over whether the Knights should get their own stadium. Some want to hold out for a major league team, others disagree with the placement of the projected new stadium. Regardless, the debate now begins in Fort Mill about what to do with Knights Stadium once it goes dark:

…leaders asked residents to submit ideas for the site.

Among the suggestions were an animal shelter, a football stadium, a shopping mall, a sports training facility and a big development that incorporates retail, sports, office space, homes, hotels and entertainment.

Do you have any ideas? That’s a lot of great land over there – and I have to admit I’d love to have a large shopping mall (with movie theaters, please!) in town rather than having to drive to Pineville or Rock Hill.
