No the Lynx does not run by the new stadium...a couple of blocks to walk from Lynx, not far.

I think it will be about a 5 block walk

Uptown is a much better location for people north & west of the city. It's even closer for people in Monroe. It's a more central location. I think that it's a good move.

NFL has 53 players on a team... NBA has 12.

The NBA also has 41 road games and the NFL only has 8. More chances to slip up and have a kid in the NBA.
The NHL has tons of thuggery but it's applauded just like bench clearing brawls in baseball.

That's a very good point - it will be so much more centrally located and therefore attract folks from many outerlying areas like Monroe.

I never tied the thug and illegetimate children together, but a problem in the community is the lack of a father. Do these athletes spend quality time with each child, or just send a check to the baby mama? I don't know.

NBA vs NHL? Here's a little snippet of what I found, it is a little out dated. I don't seem to see any NHL stars being on the list. But this is my last reply since we are getting off topic here.

****
the following have 6+ kids


•Ray Lewis (NFL) – Rumored to have 6 children by 4 women
•Marshall Faulk (NFL) – Also rumored to have 6 children, but by 3 women
Kenny Anderson (NBA) - 7 children from 5 different mothers (3 girlfriends and 2 wives
•Antonio Cromartie (NFL) – 7 illegitimate kids by 6 women by age 25
•Shawn Kemp (NBA) – 7 illegitimate kids by 6 women (some rumors put these numbers MUCH higher)
•Derrick Thomas (NFL) – 7 illegitimate kids by 5 women at the time of his death at age 33
•Jason Caffey (NBA) – 8 illegitimate children by 7 women
•Travis Henry (NFL) – 9 kids by 9 women by age 28
•Willie Anderson (NBA) – 9 illegitimate kids
•Calvin Murphy (NBA) – 14 illegitimate kids by 9 women

Okay you guys, I've let it go on long enough - please do not derail this thread!

We are talking BASEBALL uptown, not any other sport. Thank you!

Its also a nice excuse to take my boy uptown, grab some dinner, and do a little walking around......
I like this idea too and could see myself doing the same thing.

Apparently they are going to build the stadium in a way that allows fans to face the skyline which will be awesome.

I wonder if the Uptown baseball stadium will lower the attendance at the Kannapolis Intimidators and the Gastonia Grizzlies games.
