Meh. More of a representation of SC fans traveling well. Columbia is way closer to CLT than Raleigh, anyone with half a brain would expect that stadium to be full of SC fans. The Deacs getting the Belk Bowl had nothing to do with NCSU fans showing up for that game or any other well attended game that NCSU has been in at BoA. Deacs got the Belk Bowl because they have showed out well in the past for good bowl games and had a good season. That coupled with NCSU already playing once in CLT this season made the choice a no brainer. Deacs got a really good matchup too, i'm sure you guys are happy to avoid MSU and the cow bells.....
Yeah, Raleigh is an hour and fifteen minutes farther from Charlotte than Columbia. No way anyone should expect people from Raleigh to show up for a game. Nevermind the thousands of Statefans and grads in Charlotte.
