I could not figure it out. The reason I got was they found a cheaper town. However, the only thing Kinston had going for them was the team. I could not imagine it being that expensive to play there.
When they left Burlington, they switched their RC level affiliation to a team in the Gulf Coast League, but I don't know who/where. A lot of the NC teams have switched affiliations in the past several years. The Greensboro team changed from the Yankees to the Rays. I know a couple others changed too, but I don't know specifics.
