Charlotte FC President Tom Glick joined Wilson & Parcell and discussed that they came up with the name and talking about soccer fans in Charlotte. He also said, "there's a feeling that Charlotte was ready for an MLS team".
He was asked about the competition and rivals and his response was "The first team you look at is down the I-85 in Atlanta. They will be a rival... We will try to beat them, both in attendance and on the pitch."
He ended the interview discussing if the team will go after big stars in Europe and he said "We won't rule anything out. Our goal is to be successful and win".
