Abstract:

Don Beaver lobbied for the Charlotte Knights to return to the Queen City for over a decade. Despite some pushback, the Knights’ Uptown Charlotte stadium broke ground in 2012 and the first season in the new park was in 2015. The location of the new ballpark has made the Knights one of the most successful minor league franchises in the nation and the area around the park has developed economically.
