Well if anyone has 4 tickets laying around they don’t want let me know lol
Strong possibility they are 0-3 leading into App coming to town. Maybe none available now, but there definitely will be people dumping some on Stub Hub at some point in September.

I sure hope so. I had so much going on this summer, I completely blew arranging these tickets.... :x . Luckily it reminded me to line up my USC tickets!

I hope they are undefeated going in to that game, we spank them and then they win out.
Then I hope the same happens with South Carolina.
The only way our brand remains relevant nationally is beating good teams...not beating struggling P5s.

PS- I hope you all end up with tix too. Preordered my 6!

Anything is possible but I think it is highly unlikely that they (UNC) are undefeated coming into our game.

While having a strong opponent record is great, I went with the more realistic approach.

This is what a sellout crowd at UNC looks like.

Haha, when I first saw that picture I thought to myself it was a great crowd. Then I realized that all the Carolina Blue that I saw were actually seats. It is actually a pretty good idea, make the seats your school color so it looks like you have fans. Sure beats the glaring aluminum that lets everyone know in a second the seat is empty. I guess you get creative with colors when you are used to having so many empty seats.

Before we spend too much time and energy congratulating ourselves on the sellout, let's remember that it's their family weekend as well. Family weekend at any school, including App, is usually a big draw for parents who want to check in on their students and have a fun fall weekend. I'm sure we'll have plenty of fans there. I'm also sure there will be plenty of Carolina parents and families in attendance.

Did last years family game sell out in 30 minutes?
It didn’t sell out at all, actually. UNC’s 2018 Family Weekend was against Pitt and had an announced attendance of 44k (out of 51k).

I don’t expect us to outnumber their fans, but if we have less than 10k there I will be shocked. Personally, I’m hoping for 15k.
Just be louder. I remember when we hijacked the stadium at ECU and were were just up on the side in the nosebleeds.

That's what I based my estimate off of actually. In 2009, we brought at least 7k fans to Dowdy-Ficklen. Chapel Hill is more centrally located than Greenville and should be easier to get tickets to since their team is a little down. I expect us to show up in force. 10-15k seems like a reasonable estimate.

We had that at Tennessee. I expect more, in state, against The Tar Heels and a really good team returning.

We want to win this game badly, but Carolina fans really badly don't want to LOSE this game.

I bought tickets in 103 for 55 each 2 weeks ago...now they are running double that! You know damn well that App fans were the ones buying tickets this morning 3 to 1. I think App will bring close to 15k to Kenan stadium

My nephew, an EZU grad, decided it would be cool to get married on September 21 because of the Earth Wind and Fire song (“Do you remember the 21st night of September.....”). I hate him now. If I ditch the wedding for the game, it will likely cost me my 34 year marriage and half of everything I own. I am still deciding. ;)

That must be some pretty good stuff for the decision to take so long. Tell your nephew you’ll make it up to him at his next wedding. : )

I am ditching a wedding that weekend as well, he's a UNC grad... He sent the save the date and I told him I had prior engagements that day that were non-refundable.... Go Neers'

That was a very hot day at ECU. We shoulda won that game. Dang Armanti's lawn mower.

I have ever since seen those same loud APP fans at UGA, Florida, Tennessee, Penn St...and I know they will be in Chapel Hill. Can't wait!

Unless in the unlikely event Mack partially turns them around in practice and it shows up on the game field. He did ASU, especially when Sparky Woods got rolling..
