Charlotte-area lawmakers warn state not to help Raleigh win pro soccer competition
Posted Jul 22, 2017
Could the state of North Carolina tilt the playing field to Raleigh over Charlotte in the fight for a Major League Soccer franchise? That’s what two Mecklenburg County lawmakers said Thursday. Their accusations came a day after a Raleigh group met with MLS officials and unveiled plans for a $150 million stadium and entertainment complex worth hundreds of millions of dollars on state-owned land in downtown Raleigh.
