Stadium empty

Fans are few and far between at the stadium today. I counted just about 75 fans total in the upper decks on the eastside of the stadium. The lower bowl is better but teal seats are more abundant then they are at a Jaguars game. Could this be the last year for the ACC Championship here in Jacksonville?

Virginia Tech kicks off

Virginia Tech won the coin toss to start today's game and deferred until the second half. Boston College elected to receive and to defend the south endzone. The kickoff went into the endzone letting Boston College start from their own 20.

Weather at kickoff was 69 degrees with winds from the northeast at 17 mph gusting to 23.

ACC Championship
