Abstract:
The Mecklenburg County commissioners approved a land swap that gives the local minor league baseball team land in booming downtown Charlotte. Don Beaver, the owner of the Charlotte Knights, a Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, plans to build a 10,000-seat ballpark using private funds. Beaver is a successful minor league baseball entrepreneur and has interests in several ball teams. His Hickory Crawdads regularly set attendance records in the South Atlantic League. He has experience in building stadiums for his teams in Sevierville, TN, and in New Orleans, LA. The Charlotte stadium will open in 2009.
