Yes, they are scheduled to play @ the Rich in 2021, assuming they donât buy out.
This has to mean that we are planning expansion.[/quote]
I wonder if there is (Iâm assuming so) a provision in the contract that says the Rich has to have xx,xxx amount of seats in the stadium in order to satisfy this contract?[/quote]
Thatâs a good question. I wonder what our plan is?[/quote]

I doubt itâs in the contract, but Iâm sure it means expansion.

More television games- WIN
Home and Home series with Duke- WIN
Congrats to the AD for making these happen. These are great moves for the program, fanbase and $. If you donât get that, I suspect you werenât a business major at Charlotte.
Yep. In terms of heat, it is hotter at 3, but I think those wanting 3pm kickoffs are those trying to get over a hangover from the night before and/or having enough time tailgating before kickoff trying to get another hangover started. Jusâ sayinâ.

Well unless the game is played at night, either way the game will still be occurring at 3pm; only difference is will it be the 1st quarter or 4th.

It really doesnât matter - Noon kick, 2, 3, 5 itâs all going to be hot. The angle of the sun in our stadium, without any upper deck for shade, though does play a huge part. The difference in temp from the alumni side to the student side is HUGE. The time though does impact the crowd in the stadium - student turn out for the noon game with the sun angle is very poor. If we want the stadium expanded we have to balance TV needs with people at the game. The bottom line though is anything before 7 or so is going to be hot. As I said I donât mind this one too much - as long as we try to keep early season games happening later, preferable evening.

The heat is not such a big deal to me as the sun angle is. Iâm full-in cracker and come in two shades, normal translucent, and burnt crispy.
Yeah, sorry, but Iâm not picking my son up at school at 2:30 on the 11th, driving 4.5 hours to my parents house for the night with a 3 and 7 year old, getting my wife and oldest kid up at 6 AM to drive over an hour to get valuable tailgating time and location, to sit in what will likely be ~90 degree direct sunlight at noon to 3 on September 12th.
noon games mean an extra layer of Gold Bond and bunch of extra sweat for me⌠And I donât bring my kids because they bleed me dry buying every frozen concoction sold at the Rich because they are âhotâ

If that makes me a fickle fan, so be it.[/quote]
I also live 4.5 hrs away and i wonât be on here complaining about what a long drive i have etc etc i just wonât go to the game.
I live less than 10 min away and odds are I wonât go to a noon game during September and some October games if the games are televised. Iâve seen, sweated and experienced. Iâll watch in the a/c somewhere while drinking alcohol.
I hope we expand to 40k before App State comes to town in 2018 im so going to that game then the game in Boone the next year. My dad attended UNCC when we went to the final four in 1977 and i just graduated from UNCC last December and my brother graduated from App State in 2013. We should play App State every year that would be awesome.

With the trend in college football being declining attendance, it likely would not be wise to jump from 15k to 40k. I anticipate seeing something in the 25,000 range announced.
I base that on nothing though, although I do believe it was stated at one point, there were also plans for a 25,000ish seat expansion that were not released. I suspect it is simply adding the middle level you see in the 40,000 seat rendering without adding the upper levels or the new press box.
UNCC point aside(charlotte please but thatâs another point). i donât mind playing app sometimes but i get worried when i hear fans(not necessarily you) stating that they would like app to be a rival. Some of you really need to find out what people think of app nationally. most people donât know where they are, how to pronounce their name, or even that they are division one.
