Tom Dundon (Owner of the Carolina Hurricanes) went public with the plan to “lead a group to put our best foot forward to get a Major League Baseball team in North Carolina’ … and he’s specifically targeting Raleigh.


Tom Dundon made the announcement on The North Carolina Sports Network, saying this:

“I will lead a group to put our best foot forward to get a Major League Baseball team in North Carolina,”

“Now that the Hurricanes have a new lease all the way into 2044, now that we got the (PNC Arena) deal done, I want to try to bring another major asset to North Carolina.”

“I know I’m biased, but I think Raleigh is the best place in the country for a new MLB team. And when I say that, I think we have the facts to back that up.”

“I am not the only one interested in making this happen,”

“This is about the state of North Carolina: fans, businesses, the authorities. We, as a group, can work together and show why this is the best place to put a Major League Baseball team in the future.”

“The demographics are clearly on our side. I think the commitments from fans, the business community, and the authorities are also there. Now we just gotta go tell that story and show everybody else what we already know to be true.”

A few days later he was interviewed on The OG. Here is that video:
