There’s a little trouble in paradise for Charlotte FC

The surprise MLS expansion team, Charlotte FC, has hit a wall in relation with the city government in Charlotte, NC. That’s at least temporarily. The City of Charlotte, with county help, had pledged $110 million in reimbursement incentives for the team’s Eastland Mall site development, plus renovations to Bank of America Stadium.

There will still be a Major League Soccer component as part of the plan with the Charlotte FC Elite Academy headquarters slated for the land.
