Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
I emailed the leadership at the Charlotte Sports Foundation. I wasn’t rude, I simply let them know I was disappointed in how App was treated. I really just wanted them to know that we exist. I received not only a prompt return via email but also a phone call from the executive director, Mr. Danny Morrison. Super nice guy who talked about how much respect he has for App and explained the obvious, if you can get Clemson and GA you can’t pass. He explained how they are working to pitch the weekend as a whole, rivalry weekend. Bottom line, I was super impressed and thanked him for anything they could do to promote our game.

Danny knows all about App from his many years at the helm at Wofford. Glad to hear that he doesn't hold a lot of beat downs of Terrier teams over the years against us.Mjohn1988 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 12:48 pmI emailed the leadership at the Charlotte Sports Foundation.

That's a great response. Sucks the game got moved, but I can respect the response to concerns.Mjohn1988 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 12:48 pmI emailed the leadership at the Charlotte Sports Foundation.

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
So with this now moving we have to play Wake on a Friday night, and ECU on a Thursday night!! You guys do realize that most of us who have kids in K-12 cant make thursday night games, and we fully support our High School so will not be attending the Wake game on Friday night. the $32.00 plus concessions I Pay the high school means more to them than $300.00 plus i would probably spend at wake ! Where is a man that honors his agreement?

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
I get a little of the frustration, but actually think Thurs night will get more attention. Opening weekend game on Thurs instead of competing with 50 other games on that Sat

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
Attention vs. Participation.
Which earns us more money? I really don't know.
Is being on ESPN (even if we are) on a Thursday night a better revenue generator than playing the game on Saturday as regularly scheduled? There is no way to know, but i would guess this cuts attendance by 1/3 at least. Much harder for families or people on budgets to take off work ( probably 1.5-2 days) get a hotel to attend the game, and if it is televised, its much easier/cheaper to watch from home.
This was technically App's home game, so I think we were set to get the ticket revenue. How much money do we lose if we get 30,000 in attendance versus 50,000? If average ticket price is $30 (very conservative), that's a $600,000 loss in revenue. Will being on ESPN on a Thursday night offset that loss?
Even if we get $500,000 from venue for "cancellation" seems like we are still potentially losing money unless we get money for being televised on ESPN, which I don't know if we do or not.

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
Thank you for your respect of Friday night football at the high school level. I guess that makes two of us who will not be there.Pilotwx wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 2:21 pmSo with this now moving we have to play Wake on a Friday night, and ECU on a Thursday night!!

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
Moving to Thursday has pros and cons. I can sympathize with people who can't or won't attend on a weeknight. Personally I'm OK rolling with the punches on this one. Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, week zero... just tell me when and if I can make it, I will.

Scheduling the game this late in the general cycle for college football required some maneuvering for both schools. For Georgia, that meant a $1.8 million buyout of San Jose State, who had been on the schedule.
Clemson’s payout is slightly less dramatic, but still significant. The school will pay previously-scheduled Wyoming $1.1 million. Scott Keepfer of The Greenville News reported on the payout on Wednesday.

1. According to Ethan Joyce, the cancellation fee would have been $500,000, but App would have had to pay that to ECU as part of their contract with them for not playing the game in Charlotte.
2. Average ticket price will be north of $30. The agreement with the Charlotte group designates the ticket prices and they are not cheap. The ticket prices are higher to justify the fees that the organizing group pays to the participating schools for playing at BOA Stadium. Based upon what prices have been for the Chick Fil-A classic in Atlanta at the beginning of the season, you may not be able to see the Clemson-Georgia game without paying close to $100 per ticket.

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
Yeah that's not great, especially for uppers. Honestly I feel like this series felt like a bigger deal when it was announced than it does now. I mean I want to see us beat ECU and play in the Panthers' stadium... but after winning in Kenan, Williams-Brice and the Superdome x2 (and paying ~$60 for prime seats at each), this seems pretty overpriced for what it is.

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
Unless you simply can't walk further distances then parking uptown for the evening will be easy to find in the $10/$15 range within a 15-minute walk of the stadium. I hate paying a premium for parking and when attending uptown events (be it BofA, Spectrum, Blumenthal, etc.) I don't think I've ever paid more than $15 for an event. You just have to follow the old rule of thumb that my Dad taught me: go diagonally away from the venue you're attending, in the opposite direction of primary inflow, start at 1/2 mile away as the crow flies, and go out from there as necessary. It pretty much always works in any locale and I'm not sure I've ever been more than a mile/15 minute-ish walk away. Not to mention, it usually makes leaving a lot easier proposition. And, that $ saved is the price of a casual dinner uptown, or maybe 2 beers in the stadium. Ha!

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
Hmm. I paid $40 for a half mile away for the Belk Bowl. Took me to the cleaners, I guess.HkyMtneer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 5:54 pmUnless you simply can't walk further distances then parking uptown for the evening will be easy to find in the $10/$15 range within a 15-minute walk of the stadium.

Re: App vs ECU getting bumped
It’s a long time away so I’m not worried yet but I really hope the App nations finds a way to support this game. This is a big deal for us, it’s a huge venue and it’s our home game. This isn’t like going to power 5 venue as an underdog. We’re suppose to own this place. And it’s not a done deal but the powers that be are pushing for ESPN. If we actually get to kick off the season there will be a lot of folks watching just to get their football fix. Again, it’s a long time away but we need to hype this game for all its worth, not put it down. I also have to believe that a good fan showing would help our bowl situation a lot.
