Opening Day Baseball in Charlotte, NC?

7 years ago, I moved my family to Charlotte, NC from Denver, Co.  As I was driving to the office this morning, I had to reflect back on the good times I had every year around this time ..... Opening day of major league baseball at Coors Field.  You have to understand that I am not a huge baseball fan by any stretch of the imagination.  In fact, I'll watch a golf tournament before I will watch a baseball game on television.  But there is something about going to a ball game that tops about any other event.  Maybe it's the crowd atmosphere or the smell of smoked brats and the crackling of peanuts.  Whatever it is, I miss those days and wish Charlotte, NC could acquire a major league team.
About 10 miles south of Uptown Charlotte (on I-77), in Fort Mill, SC, we have a minor league AAA team ... the Charlotte Knights.  Opening Day for Triple A ball is in a week and I've made a committment this year not to snub by nose at the minor league organization.  After all, the Knights are a farm team for the Chicago White Sox.  Every year my wife and I have made plans to attend a game around the 4th of July, but something always comes up.  My pledge to my son is this is the year we go ... no exceptions!  I have heard from MANY neighbors here in Hunter Oaks, that the synergy at the park is as good as any major league field.  I guess I will find out for myself and report back!
