Early estimates are 50/50 crowd due to unique avenues App fans have utilized to obtain tickets to the game. While the feat is not out of the ordinary for in-state games for App, what was out of the ordinary was the lengths UNCC went to try and box out the App fans from taking over the stadium and parking lots.

Should be great game!

I was super impressed until I went online and saw UNCC's stadium seats only 15,300. Your fans still deserve a shout-out, but I didn't know their stadium was that small.

We aren't impressed with the feat of selling out the stadium, just the lengths UNCC went to try and keep us from outnumbering them, increase in ticket prices, shuffling of ticket availability dates, etc. We understand all schools always try and cater to their fans first, but they acted like this is the first time a opposing fanbase wanted to buy their tickets.....

Well, tbh it probably is.

Similar to when Georgia Southern played @ Wofford in the 2010 playoffs. Wofford's ticketing and seating changed after our fans bought out nearly 4/5ths of the stadium, and had more than half of their "home" side covered with Eagle fans.

Still funny to this day. I was doing pregame radio for the Georgia Southern Radio Network for that game, and 3 hours before kickoff when the gates opened it was flooded with Eagle fans who had bought general admission seats.

NC A&T out numbered them last year in their home stadium. Don't think they cared about that game as much as App game.

Doesn't seem like their football team did either.

The A&T of late isn't your daddies A&T though either.
