ACC on the post-season

HOOPS
Looks like the ACC will not shift the ACC tourney sites, even though we are adding new teams and the demand for tickets should go up. Story here. While Greensboro does a nice job, I get sick of going into the tobacco road backyard - don't tell me this is a neutral site. Long term it looks like the Commish will wait until the contract expires with existing venues on the schedule in 2010 to make changes

FOOTBALL
In football, there are 9 sites vying for the ACC championship game (story here) - Jacksonville FL, Orlando FL, Tampa FL, Miami FL, Atlanta GA, Washington, Baltimore MD, New Jersey Meadowlands and Charlotte NC. My vote - #1 ATL #2 Jax FL #3 Orlando. Let's go for home court and if that cannot work out, let's head to the sun.
