1pm. Shocking, horrible venue, and horrible fan support.

The ACC better move the venue to a more ACC central location. The SEC and Big XII have near sellouts or sellouts every game. The ACC hasn't done much in its two games thus far.

Last years attendance was more indicative.....

of the two teams playing who each have really poor fan support. If FSU, VT or Clemson had been playing, the place would have been sold out.

Which makes me wonder why refs hate Clemson so much.

FSU had a medicore season (by FSU standards)
Apr 11, 2007, 12:15 PM
|
|
and their fans bailed on them. While FSU has a boat load of fans, many of them are fair weather fans.

That's what happens....

when you have a school in the championship game with a student enrollment less than 5,000.

Charlotte is ideal location

can't see why Swofford can't seem to figure it out. did not help that Wake and GT were playing last year, whose combined capacity of their home stadiums is only 90K or so.
if it were in charlotte, their would be some "football" fans who would go to the game regardless of who is playing. not so in Jax.

I've been to Jacksonville plenty of times....
Apr 11, 2007, 12:23 PM
[ in reply to yeah so it can be 40 degrees at gametime.*** ] |

when it was forty degrees or less outside. Jacksonville is not a bad venue but the location is not ideal for the ACC. Charlotte or Atlanta would be better IMO.

I think Atlanta would be a better location

I know the SEC is there, but play it on a different day (Thursday maybe?)...Georgia Dome is a great venue, easy to fly into, and since no one from Atlanta is native born anymore, there is a good chance there are a lot of alums living in the city already
Look how well the Peach Bowl and SEC championship tickets sell

watching the ACC/SEC title games this year on TV. The Wake/GT game looked like a Thursday night JV game in comparison. Lot of bad offense, a s----y crowd, and a game that felt like it meant very little unless you were one of the 17 Wake Fans down there.
The SECCG looked awesome in comparison. Dynamic players like HArvin and McFadden. Special teams scores, big plays on both sides of the ball.
It is amazing how bush league the ACC is and will continue to be until Swofford is canned.
