ACC championship needs to be played each yr at the higher
Nov 11, 2012, 8:17 AM

Ranked teams home field. Almost guarantees a sellout, and helps the conference by bolstering it's top team. Thoughts?

It's an ACC town.
It's centrally located.
It's an "event" (does anyone know the deal between Charlotte and the ACC? Like how the financials work).
It's a defined space (Wake Forest won the ACC a few years back...are you willing to show the world an ACC Championship Game in a 30,000 seat stadium, not to mention lose out on about 30,000 extra ticket sales and luxury suite sales?)
The Charlotte championship game has had great attendance both years, right? I now our game was a madhouse.

Or schools to either improve their stadium or play it at the other schools stadium.

A school like Wake Forest has no reason to increase the capacity of their stadium just to accomodate the ACC championship game. No school would its not like they are selling out and refuse to put more money into it. They are already about at their peak capacity wise.

Why would it leave Charlotte.

It has been a sellout there the past two years.
It is centrally located, with a good amount of ACC fans.
They sell a good number of seats even before the matchup is announced.
I just don't follow your reasoning.

We'll see if it's a sellout if a crappy coastal team gets in

play in Blacksburg because your stadium isn't big enough. Forget about that little rule that says the higher ranked teams gets home field, it doesn't apply to you guys.

I think you need to send your suggestion to Bank Of America,and John Swofford.
One small hint however.Did you stop to think what kind of image that would present to the nation,or the region if Duke,or UNC was the higher seed?
Playing before a half empty Bank of America Stadium is still better than playing before a full house at either Duke ,or Durham.

Central Location
Bowl Atmosphere
Support From The City
The attendance numbers support this. Everyone remember how empty the stadium(s) were when the game was in Florida? Those games were sad.

Me. just trying to think outside the box about what we can do to ensure good attendance in "off" years and financially reward teams that do well and invest in their teams and stadiums.

It is crazy to think that Wake Forest or Duke will turn
Nov 11, 2012, 9:33 AM

their stadiums into 60,000 seat facilities for the once-every-third-generation situation where they are the highest ranked team in the conference.
The idea that the highest ranked team should host means:
We could play in Wake's 32,000 seat stadium.
We could play in Duke's 35,000 seat stadium.
We could play a football game in December in Boston or Pittsburgh.
We could really soldify a "little brother" image by playing in GT's stadium at the same time as the SEC playing in the Georgia Dome.
We could have to change venues the week before the game because of a ranking change.
We would have to deal with all of those possibilities and we would gain what? The ACCCG has sold out the past two years. Before we start desperately throwing out solutions, could we actually have a problem first?
By the way, Wake has invested significantly in their stadium over the past several years. Just not in capacity expansion, because they don't need it. Also, Duke just announced major renovations coming to Wallace Wade, including removing the track, adding seating, and closing in the horseshoe into more of a bowl.
