This team should represent the soul of triangle.

I'm stoked about this. I would definitely go to games. And would now have a reason to watch MLS.

I am excited but I wish there was some way they could stay in cary. With the loss of the ncaa championships and railhawks, I don't know what WakeMed soccer Park would host.

In that downtown graphic, is the road running left to right at the very bottom of the page I-40?

If so, that would put the stadium directly on top of my office building

I'll be able to walk to games. Pumped for this. Should really revitalize that entire (Maywood/Caraleigh/South Park) area.

Wish it was Raleigh FC. I feel like we should get a team since Charlotte won't share the Bobcats Hornets

Yes, should be RALEIGH FC. It doesn't represent South Carolina.

They don't want to alienate Durham and Chapel Hill by calling it Raleigh. I think I'd prefer NCFC over Triangle FC.

This would be perfect for that bit of land near the Prison that was DDix...

Too bad that got signed off already.

Not sure a soccer stadium would fit in the indoor arena footprint used for the plan on the previous page. Obviously that plan is pretty nebulous, just something to mull over.

I always figured they could find some agreement to use The Carter, but I'm guessing that it doesn't have a good enough concessions setup and it's too big.

^I think MLS is requiring all expansions to have soccer specific stadiums.

this would be a terrible location, especially if they go with their plan of not adding parking at the stadium

^^ as they should. It creates such a better atmosphere.

Fwiw, MLS here is still quite a longshot. Will be up against the likes of Tampa, Austin, San Antonio, Cincy and Phoenix for essentially two spots.

Feel like one of San Antonio and Austin should be a lock. But both getting it seems kinda stupid if youre trying to grow the sport.

Tampa and Phoenix would likely have higher attendance and more appeal to the area...

Yeah...this plan sucks, we're gonna be stuck with the bill. #HB2

The stadium is too big and the field is too small.

Maybe Wake Tech? They currently play their home games at the stadium at the WRAL Soccer Center in North Raleigh.

I do like the current location of the stadium since it is so close to I-40. It makes getting to the games easy for everyone in the Triangle. One of the reasons I never went to see the Flyers, or Capital Express play at the soccer center is because it was too far away and I-540 didn't exist. If they do move they need to keep it close to one of the main interstates, or US highways. If you get too far off the main roads traffic will be a mess and no one will go. A setup like the DBAP would be cool.

Very meh. I am completely underwhelmed. They went the safe conservative route and there is almost no creativity involved with this design. The orange, while plain, at least stood out due to the color. This almost solid blue color is bleh in the extreme.

2017 U.S. Open Cup Tournament resumes this week. North Carolina FC seems to be continuing the Open Cup success they had as the RailHawks. NCFC/Railhawks are 6-6 vs MLS teams in the Open Cup, and we host the Dynamo on Wednesday. If we win, we will move on to the round of 16.


Round 4: (Home) 6/14 7:30pm vs Houston Dynamo
Round 3: 4-1 win vs Charlotte Independence
Round 2: 6-1 win vs Carolina Dynamo
Round 1: BYE

Went to the dynamo game and that probably effected them. It went into extra time and there was a weather delay. Don't think it was over until around midnight

it requires developing state property, which requires support from the state, which doesn't exist

there is no chance of this happening until the nc government changes

^ Which is what I don't understand. Raleigh desperately needs a professional team in downtown. It would bring in so much more business and I wouldn't be surprised if the stadium does sell out on a regular basis. Raleigh is a prime soccer market simply because there is very little competition for professional sports.

The General Assembly, not Cooper, holds all the power. They're run by idiots from places like Eden and Shelby and Albemarle that think soccer is gay.
