Durr i was at that game too. I got nothing then

 

[ACC_HOKIES]

BoA Stadium getting about 200 million in upgrades, more than half paid by the city.

I read something once that the metrodome replacement cost *only* 18 million, and that Cleveland considered a Georgia Dome type roof for 60 million. Now the article says nothing about a roof but a coworker in Charlotte said they were thinking about it. Here's hoping the ACC-CG (for its own sake, I like the weather) is soon played under a roof.

this. shouldnt be able to play in climate controlled situations...mother nature is part of the game!

I loved watching the Denver-Baltimore game played outside in single digit temps. The fans will be there regardless. (We packed lane vs Miami in the cold rain and against BC in the even colder rain a few years back) Imagine a home game vs UVA during a big snow, how awesome would that be.

 

[ACC_HOKIES]

Like I said, I like the weather, but about 80% of ACC fans (and that's being generous) are pansies. As long as we're here, we might as well hope the conference brings in the most money possible. I'd rather the Hokies rock a full BoA stadium than a half empty one.

I am sure Swofford has a hand in this....probably trying to appease the FSU fans and Miami fan who have complained about the Charlotte weather during past championship games. I guess more locals would probably attend if the game were in-doors.

Lol, that made me laugh. You have to make it there before you can complain about it.

nebraska ending was my favorite moment, but the rest of that game was actually incredibly boring haha

Virginia Tech - Miami 1999 by far. I was in the old wooden bleachers where all of the third quarter scoring happened.

This. Boston College in 2007 was the worst for me.

Making Ciroc the official vodka of the Virginia Tech Hokies isn't against the rules is it?

Notice I didn't say liquor. No way the fans approve any sort of vodka over whiskey.
