County pushes for progress on uptown baseball stadium: "(By April Bethea, abethea@charlotteobserver.com) Mecklenburg commissioners said Tuesday they want more assurances about the Charlotte Knights' long-delayed plans for a Third Ward stadium before they'll consider whether to extend a lease agreement for the ballpark.
Some members said they're not ready to walk away from the project, but they want to see some progress. The latest ballpark plan was pitched five years ago, but the team still hasn't finalized its financing."
