Cheers!

I don't like this deal at all, because AS gets all the ticket sales from the game at the Carolina Panthers' stadium and it doesn't count against them as a home game.

Terrible deal all around for ECU and the AAC.

Bank of America deal is not that good anymore. The last time we played South Carolina there the ECU crowd was weak and even South Carolina whose campus is right down the road brought a fairly weak crowd. They kill the student turn out with pricing tickets too high. ECU vs South Carolina game had as many students outside tailgating as we did inside the stadium.

I doubt ECU playing ASU in Charlotte is going to move the needle for our fans to come out of pocket for that game. It is a nice game for a Charlotte Pirates but I would estimate the ECU crowd to be no more than 10k so it is definitely an ASU home game as they will have 75% of the fans in the stadium.

I think we should just do a simple 1-1 game. Many ECU fans don't think we should go to Boone but if Miami did we don't have much of an argument anymore. App St also brings more fans to ECU then almost any team we can schedule. I just hope we get our Football program going before this game is played because right now App St would smoke us. I would actually be more likely to go to a game in Boone then I would in Charlotte
