Yeah, their visitor side looks like a recently built middle school home side, but do y'all think we will travel 3-4 4 hours like that for Charleston Southern? I wont be there. They average about 2000 for attendance. So 4000 capacity with a few extra bleachers sounds about right for 2000 Aggie fans. It will be tight, but oh well. We'll fit with a few temp bleachers installed. Are yall really expected more than about 2000 aggie fans for this game? We'll just be sitting with them on their on side is all. Sidenote. Gardner Webb was a season opener in 2017. Only 2hrs 30minutes away from A&T and the attendance was 7000. CSU is 4 hours away and game number 3, but it is their home opener. I think you may underestimate the 50+ demographic of Aggies in NC, SC & GA... not to mention the Charleston Alumni Base. Aggies travel on all these road trips in the MEAC. Charleston is a piece of cake. |

we didn't take over UNCC stadium? And we would have taken over ECU stadium if it was not for the lightning. |

They may need to move the game over to Fort Dorchester HS just up the road. I believe they hold almost 7K. If not then they better call The Citadel who has plenty of room.

If they could get all them geechees from Steat in there, many of whom are locals and a ton of whom are within an hour or two away, I doubt getting Aggie Nation in there will be an issue.

Y'all really feeling yall self. We took over uncc with our little 8th of a corner, then took over ECU with our little 10th of the crowd? Riiigght. We represented, but I wouldn't call either a takeover.

Well they are putting Tenn State up against Kentucky St. In the Circle City so that's out. Guess it will be D-2 home opponent like Mars Hill again or perhaps a CIAA school (maybe Fayetteville) or some one not even on our radar. I just want a 6th home game.

All wins are good wins. As to UNCC, we were all over their parking lots, tailgate areas, etc. They will never forget Aggie Pride and neither will Kent State, Jacksonville State or ECU. We helped most of them find new head coaches.

Fayetteville State could be an option. Former A&T assistant coach Richard Hayes (Bill's Nephew) is the head coach down there now and he is a good friend of Coach Washington. |

If we gonna play a D2 HBCU, can we at least get Miles for band purposes. Or some SIAC school |

Besides, we'd have to pay for that band to bus from Birmingham, AL to Greensboro and back. That's close to 12 hours each way. |

Somebody dropped ball during negotiations.
The opportunity for 12 games seasons don't present themselves every year. We should have been able to at least schedule a home patsy.
