ACC Embarrassment...

I hope they keep it in Jacksonville so the next time we make the game...we'll all be smart enough to just buy the nosebleed tickets then trickle on down.;)

Charlotte is definitely a no brainer. BCs lack of any and all fanbase was a major factor in this besides just location as well.

And, for the record, it's an 8 1/2 hour drive from blacksburg to jacksonville.

You sure about that drive time? It's 5 hours from ATL.

Picture looks like birmingam for the SEC game if Bama had not been in it.

Championships need to be played in domes for folks who like to spend a lot of money and travel on short notice in december.

The ACCC will be bigger in Charlotte but a dome is the way to go.

FWIW, last year an sEC ticket on the street was $10, this year it was $20. So, all of these things have seen their better day.

There you go. All we have to do is convince the SEC to give up the Ga.Dome and we're all set. Either that or convince a semi-major city in the ACC area to build a dome stadium.

If BC and VT fans won't go to Jax then they won't go to Charlotte either.



Maybe what they could do is schedule a Duke/UNC basketball game at midfield during halftime. They could play two 8 minute halves with a 4 min halftime.




That'd fill that place to the brim.

VT fans would have showed en masse in Charlotte. For most of them, it's a day trip. At worst, drive down Friday after work, tailgate, win the ACC, be home in time to watch the end of the Big 12 championship. It's also a much easier trip for Clemson and Virginia. I also think Charlotte would support the game itself marketing it better and getting the locals out to see it. I'm not saying it would suddenly be like the SEC in the Dome, but it'd be a whole lot better than the pathetic attendance they had Saturday.

FWIW, I would love to see more of a rotational sceme, like we do with the basketball tournament.

On a side note, the basketball tournament should never, ever leave the heart of North Carolina. North Carolina is ACC basketball...you just don't get the same atmosphere other places.
