It's Time to Quit Playing the ACC Championship in Charlotte

I admit that I liked the idea of playing the ACC Championship in Charlotte because it was pretty centrally located as far as the rest of the ACC, but ***** it. The weather is usually cold or wet (like tonight). Either play the game on Friday night in Atlanta or bring it to Orlando or Tampa.

The ACC Championship game was extended for Charlotte earlier this year. The new contract expires in 2030. So, it's not moving anytime soon.

The ACC isn't moving the game just because a few fans from a team that has basically been irrelevant in the conference for 18 years doesn't like the weather. The ACC could give a sh*t about Miami fan's opinion. Some of y'all still think we can move like it the 80's or 90's, like we still move the needle in CFB or something. New flash, we don't. We barely move the needle in our own state or recruiting area.

The ACC will gladly take the poor weather in exchange for better attendance and more ticket sells. Look at the Pac-12 championship game, pitiful, the Pac 12 CG is empty with poor ticket sells in a nice location. You can bet they will move to something that can draw more fans and raise the ticket sell.
 
The ACC Championship game will never move from Charlotte again. The horse has left the barn. Back when Miami joined the ACC, they would/should have dominated the Coastal while FSU dominated the Atlantic. If UM and FSU had met year after year in the ACC Championship game, then there would have been a strong argument for moving the game to Orlando or Tampa. No need for fans to be traveling 700+ miles to watch two in-state rivals play.

As of now, both programs are down and have zero power with the conference officials.

So, there's no point in complaining. Just need to make Charlotte our 2nd home away from home.

Next year is our time to get it done. Clemson's defense should not be as strong. Although, one could argue that our defense won't be as strong either, but I think we'll be fine on that side of the ball. It's time for the offense to take the next step. They've got to become the strength of the team not it's weakness. They've got to get to a point where 40 points/game is the norm. They really need a good showing in their bowl game to gain momentum going into the Spring.

Exactly.

What happened to "anytime, anywhere"?

Acc is the worse power 5 football conference. Therefore championship played in out door stadium without protection from poor weather conditions. If Clemson did not win Atlantic division, stadium would have been half empty.

Agree, Pittsburg did not travel very well to this game.

We played in it last year and still didn't fill half the stadium
But you're wrong, it's the best location for the game.
Not everyone in the country cries about a little cold and wet weather
This sport is played during the Fall and Winter months and there is a VERY SMALL percentage of the entire country that enjoys nice weather those months.
The rest of the country? Well, let's just say they're good with it

What stadium were you at? I was in the nose beed seats and it was pretty **** full - cold as **** too
 
It will move when one or two things happen. Someone gets injured because of the field conditions and coaches start complaining or ABC/ESPN start mentioning it (compared to other conferences).
 
That stadium is the worst.. can't believe the NFL allows a team to call that home.. Orlando would be way better..
 
I’d love Atlanta as well. Only realistic possibility would be if the SECCG rotated between Atlanta and New Orleans every other year. The SEC West schools would probably need to complain about them always having to travel Far East. The problem is the Alabama (and Auburn some) are the teams usually going from the west and they are close to Atlanta. Need LSU and A&M to start getting there a lot and complain. If that did happen, ACC could take every other year in Atlanta (when SEC is in New Orleans). Then to some other location (Tampa, Orlando, Jax, or Charlotte) the other years.
Probably won’t happen though as SEC seems locked in Atlanta.

We probably had 30k to Clemsons 45k last year. Last night Pitt brought maybe 5k. I was sitting on the Pitt side sideline and we had only 2 Pitt fans in my entire section.
