Orlando is a terrible place for the ACC CG - particularly if neither FSU nor Miami are in it. Not only is it far from the center of the footprint, but if VT loses they'll be right back in the same stadium in a few weeks.
No problem with Orlando -- GREAT Bowl site! -- just not right for the ACC CG. For that you need a place with lots of walk-up fans, 'cause the usual home crowd ain't going to the ACC CG and then a bowl (or two if they win a playoff semi). TOO MUCH TO ASK.

ReplyDeleteThis is 100% the fault of north Carolina's backwards governor and legislature.
DeleteIt's stupid to ignore that and turn this into another "Florida is a crappy site for the cg" blog/article/discussion.
This is not Orlando's fault. They were never supposed to host this.
