4) A new home
After spending three forgettable years in Jacksonville, Fla., and two more in Tampa, Fla., the ACC championship game is coming to Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium on Dec.4.
ACC and Charlotte tourism officials hope bringing the game to the geographic center of the conference will generate ticket sales. Will Webb, the executive director for Charlotte Collegiate Football, said 38,000 seats have been sold.
About 4,000 seats remain available on the stadium's lower level.
"Everything seems to be falling into place," Webb said. "We're excited about it. We really want to make Charlotte the long-term home for the ACC football championship."

UNC fans who bought their tickets pre-NCAA investigations?
I think we’ll see a lot more casual ACC fans show up for the game, considering the four NC schools are fairly close to Charlotte. Same goes for Virginia Tech and Clemson.
When I went to Jacksonville and Tampa, I could count the non-BC, non-Virginia Tech fans on two hands.
