This morning on the news organizers said they were hoping for 50k. That means they'd have to open upper deck which I don't think is gonna happen.

The game is a big to-do for A&T's budget as well, with the Aggies possibly netting about $500,000, according to athletics director Earl Hilton. greensboro.com/sports/college/ncat/charlotte-rolls-out-a-big-game-experience-for-n-c-a-t-n-c-central/article_0fb87730-2a31-11ed-8fca-f370eb8dddfa.htmlThis is the first of two A&T-Central Duke's Mayo Classics in Charlotte, with A&T considered the visiting team on Saturday night and then the home team when they meet there in 2027. "What we want is just an incredible celebration of these two fan bases," said Miller Yoho, the foundation's director of communications and marketing. The teams will practice in Charlotte on Friday. "We want to have a bowl experience," Yoho said. "We want them to feel like they're coming to Charlotte for a full event, not just dropping in for one game and it's not as impactful for them. We want them to feel like it's big."

I believe the remaining tickets cost a bit much for the casual fan that just wants to be in the atmosphere.

All that remains on the lower deck are $80 - $139 tickets.

So do we take the ball first and go at their necks , or do we wait to receive the ball in the 2nd half? I know Coach Washington is good for deferring until the 2nd half . I say we get on them early and make a statement drive .

I say we get on them early and make a statement drive . Nah, I'm always a proponent of deferring to the 2nd half. Shut them down in the 1st half and take control of the 2nd.
