Knights Seek $26M Public Upgrade | Charlotte News

The Charlotte Knights are asking for a $40 million upgrade to Truist Field, seeking over $26 million in public funds — with the team covering the rest — to modernize a stadium that’s not falling apart but needs investment to stay competitive. City council must weigh this request against existing tourism budgets and other venue commitments, as this follows a pattern of public funding for major sports facilities like the Spectrum Center and Bank of America Stadium. Since moving into the stadium in 2014, the Knights have hosted high-traffic events including Light the Knights and New Year’s Eve fireworks, making it a vital Uptown hub.
