basketball tournament which will be held in Duluth, Ga.
The deadline to order for priority seats is October 17 which seems quite early.

Were they not able to get a convenient arena that far in advance?

It should have stayed in Greensboro, or perhaps moved to Greenville SC if you wanted a new neutral site venue for a few years.

Over an hour from the Atlanta airport.

I usually go to the tournament in Greensboro where I paid $99.00 for the full session of games. The price of the tickets for the tournament in Georgia is $212.00 each. Plus if I would go to that tournament I would have to stay multiple nights when Tech advances. Too rich for my blood. I was happy driving from the NRV back and forth for the daily games. Who in the conference is in Duluth Georgia. I guess Ga. Tech is the closest. $200.00 versus $424.00 plus hotel rooms!

Than from ATL airport to this arena. And it’s driveable for VT, NCSU, Duke, UNC
You know the fan bases who actually care about the sport

everything ACC. Especially conference tournaments.
And then when they stretch their wings a bit, and listen to non-Carolina fans, we ***** about where they choose. When it’s not conveniently in NC.

But it’s dumb to move the women to a northern suburb of ATL

can't? Are they too fragile to travel that far? Are the fans too fragile? What?

For attendance reasons to be closest to the core of schools. VT, NCSU, UNC, Duke & UVA have the most fans of women’s hoops (as well as UL & ND but there’s nowhere central for them)

I will be interested to see how the attendance compares with this season's location with past seasons. In Greensboro, along with the fans from the schools, local citizens attend the tourney. They speak with pride about the number of years they have attended the ACC tourneys. We currently hear rumblings of the fate of the ACC. It would be great to keep the long-standing traditions alive while we can. Btw, I do not live in Greensboro, but like many ACC fans, I can travel there by car within a few hours.
I briefly considered signing up for the tickets, but when I saw that I would have to rent a car and then drive another hour from Atlanta, I gave up on that idea. Both Charlotte and Greensboro offer convenient airports for teams that are flying in. There may be other cities that also offer this convenience, possibly a neutral site in South Carolina or Virginia (Greenville?, Richmond?)
If, by chance the Hokies make it to the semi-final/final games, I will likely buy tickets from a resale venue-very costly, but I don't think I can stay away from those games!
Go Hokies!

are fortunate to not be playing on an outdoor, asphalt court with metal backboards and chain nets.
but all this will be rever$ed when the acc’s money boat docks in Birmingham, Ala, or Rosemont, Ill.
