Good location weatherwise. I would think they might opt for a more central location like Charlotte.
Wow, the mighty ACC fails to sell out yet another title game.

Doesn't help that they picked Jacksonville as the location.
At least the SEC had the sense to get the title game out of Alabama after a year.

The SEC could play in Antartica and sell the game out.

True.
It doesn't help that geographically, the ACC is somewhat spread out. Take away FSU, UM, and BC and you've got five states. It would make sense to at least rotate the game between DC, Charlotte, and Jacksonville.

Well, the ACC picked it's spot to accomodate FSU and UM who were supposed to play every year for the title. Guess that's what the ACC bigwigs get for assumming. I think Charlotte or Fedex would sell a lot better.

Welcome to the USSA!
Could be that, between BC and VT, no one really gives a fat rat's ass!
Jacksonville is just a bad spot for it because thats Gator/Bulldawg country. Tampa or Orlando would have been much better I believe. Atlanta would have been a good option too even if they have to play it a week later or earlier. Its fair that it stays in Florida, the basketball schools(the Carolina teams) have generally had the ACC tournament in Greensboro or Charlotte forever. I think they finally had one in DC which was a little odd I thought.
The ACC baseball tourny used to always be in North Carolina, it was recently moved to Tampa I believe.
