It will happen as soon as next year. It’s there. There’s already excitement about the Spartanburg baseball team, especially now that we have a name, they’re the hub city, Spartanburg. correct. TANIQUA PENNIX is in downtown Spartanburg and has reactions to its historical ties. Hi, Tanika. Hi, Mark. Good evening Gene. Not too far from where I parked is the Spartanburg Merchandise Store. And I got to walk around inside and see the design and the logos, and let me tell you, baseball fans are excited and… It has been about 30 years since Spartanburg has had its own baseball team. Once the Spartanburg Phillies left, baseball fans had to leave Spartanburg to watch a ballgame. Many are excited to have a team from our community. So, to bring that back to our community, it would be great. We would like to give our grandchildren and mother, in March, some time to build on this excitement. The new name was revealed at a block party. The party was incredible. I mean, Spartanburg already showed up. There were more than 5,000 people. The hub city, Spartanburg. At first glance, you see the burger. Colors are dark blue. Then there is the bright green. A game on lettuce, red for ketchup and yellow for mustard. The burger is clearly a Spartanburg representation of the diner theme which plays a role in the identity of the food and the type of food culture around Spartanburg. But Spartanburg’s Hub City is more than just a burger town. The Hub City points to Spartanburg’s connection to the railroad industry. The city limits were in the form of a circle, and as a large textile and grain mill, railway lines ran in and out of the city, creating something like the center of a wheel. We’re, you know, thinking about that and expanding that into what HUB City means today and hopefully Fifth Third Park will be the new center of HUB City. This is a big part. And we want to have those touchpoints to the history of Spartanburg and what’s happening in Spartanburg now as it grows and regenerates. Wins. Learn that DIY companies are also eyeing the expected population boom with the stadium. We think it will bring people in. They are going to visit our restaurants. All of this is from our local citizens, and we believe it will be good for the economy. Construction is still ongoing, but longtime residents can’t wait for it to be completed. Miss Nice, the team is coming and that’s a good thing, that’s a good thing. It really is. It’s a really good thing. They’re in Spartanburg and I really appreciate that. I think it will attract more people and I think it is good for the community. Like I said, we’re from Spartanburg. I’ve been here my whole life and seeing some changes would be great for Spartanburg. Really great. The first match is scheduled for April 25, 2025, and will be broadcast live
