The site of future ACC championship games is technically up in the air, but it doesn’t really appear to be in reality.
At his annual address to open the ACC media days event in Greensboro, N.C., commissioner John Swofford said future sites for the game will be decided around the time of this year’s game, which has been contested in Charlotte at Bank of America Stadium for the past two years and will be again this season.
“I would be surprised if that doesn’t continue,” said Swofford. He noted that two of the three games have been sellouts, with last year’s Georgia Tech-Florida State game the exception, as well as Charlotte’s geographic centrality and the city’s support of the game.
Swofford said there have been discussions about moving the game to the campus of one of the participating teams, as the Pac-12 does, but member school officials have voiced a preference for neutral-site games for competitive and other reasons.
