I pray we do bid for the game. Would love a playoff game in Aggie Stadium If only 7k attend is it worth the bid? There is no home field advantage with 7k in a stadium that seats 21.5k. Just food for thought If Elon makes the playoffs I would rather they host, would be like our home game anyway

Let me mention two other possibilities home or away. Davidson or Furman. As a matter of fact I would love a rematch with Furman and Davidson is 30 minutes from Charlotte Davidson is going to a SoCon team.

Elon hosting would be fun. I suspect we'd at least equal their fans in the stadium if the weather is ok.

I think it would be a building block for our fan base on what's to come. Students won't be there cause it's Thanksgiving

Hasn't he said several times in the past that he wouldn't bid for a first round game? He’s wavered on it since the move to the CAA so who knows what we’ll do but him. If A&T can at some point get ranked in the 4 and win the CAA and gain the home field advantage. The first game is a basically free but any games after have to be bidders even if you have home field advantage. I'm not sold on bidding for a home game because 99% of the time an institution receiving the bid loses money.

For a first-round game, those begin around $30,000-$40,000. There have been situations in the past where hosting a home playoff game was not conducive for a certain program, so the higher seed went on the road. This is because playoff sponsorships are all controlled by the NCAA, meaning schools cannot profit that way. Additionally, on top of paying for hosting a home game, any money a school makes on ticket sales goes to the NCAA in a revenue split. They cut the host school a percentage of that check in return. For some schools with smaller fan bases, this situation doesn’t always make sense. Luckily for the Griz, this has never been a problem. “Fortunately, we’re a good host site because we sell a lot of tickets,” Haslam said. “Our attendance is always good, we consistently have a good draw.” Additionally, schools make profit off their concessions and parking, which the NCAA does not have their hand in. In a lot of cases, the host schools hope to break even or make just a bit. Haslam says that for any road playoff team, the NCAA pays their flight costs for the roster limit, and gives them a per diem for other expenses. As a road team, you are never out any money. From school to school, preference on hosting or traveling likely depends on their program's financial situation and fan base. But one logistical issue is always there, and that’s the process of packing up a football team and sending them on the road. Haslam says from an athletic director standpoint, booking flights and hotels and the overall “movement” of a team is not easy.

It's not worth the juice to host a playoff game our fan base is to fickle and our marketing in all aspects is not conducive to pull hosting any type of playoff games . A&T is just not ready YET . I would rather see us go on the road . Because the new format is a 400 mile maximum of travel which is far different then the old days were they would send A east coast team way out to ND . Now the playoffs are more regional friendly. So hosting or not hosting a game is not really a big deal . But winning that playoff game is at home or on the road.

I agree 100%…if all goes to projection we would play at Elon or W&M, both within easy driving distance.

Hasn't he said several times in the past that he wouldn't bid for a first round game? Yep. Said it would basically be a waste of money.Thanksgiving weekend with students gone wouldn't generate much of a crowd.

Nothing says "we can't really afford to make this move to the CAA" more than not even bidding to host a home playoff game.
Gotta pay the cost to be the boss.
