Zero chances not necessarily cause of the Hornets but because of the Panthers regionalism plus college takes mist of the suites, and Corparate support, and ticket, and TV Market. For college football and Basketball they both if there was an NFL and NBA team would have to compete for very hard with those revenues and survive and be competitive which is to much money for an owner. That why MLB and MLS would work here. 10 hours ago, Nelson R. said: No way. The Triangle is ACC country. If we’re being honest this whole thread really should be put out to pasture...the FTS/Nexstar station swap was never given its own thread and has gone WAY off topic. It ain't always ACC country, were talking about the off-season which MLS and MLB with minor conflict. That why Raleigh wants them badly. Just no Corparate or Billionaire owner interest at the moment.

Working4You 40 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Seems like WREG is having "renovations" done according to Tim Simpson their Chief Meteorologist. Not sure if this means they are getting a new set or not from their new corporate owner Nexstar.

For some reason Raleigh having an NBA team bothers you guys when it has nothing to do with you city and you have a team which stinks in the rankings. But PNC arena wasn’t sitting well being built was solely for the NC State team was not sitting well so the Wake County leaders said let’s attract a pro team. Shinn was interested but like I said you guys weren’t okay with it so Peter Karmanos saved the day after stadium plans fell out in Hartford and he relocated the team to Raleigh. But I think there could be two NBA team in the triangle if it were for a College cause y’all suck hornets stink.

But I think the NHL in Raleigh and the NBA in Charlotte is a good balance. I just think a Raleigh NBA team would be overshadowed by Carolina, State, and Duke basketball.
