ACC 2024-25 Season

[DallasDomer]

Atlanta is SEC Country. Attendance is gonna be horrible.

I know we are having fun with this and I assumed the locations were already set in stone. I was surprised to see that 2026 is TBD.

This was on the website:

ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament Dates & Locations​

Year	Arena	City
2025	First Horizon Center	Greensboro, North Carolina
2026	TBD
2027	Spectrum Center	Charlotte, North Carolina

Jackie Carson, the ACC’s Senior Associate Commissioner for Women’s Basketball said that ACC coaches have long pushed for the tournament to rotate between different venues, similar to the men’s ACC Tournament, which has been hosted in cities like Charlotte, Brooklyn, Washington D.C., and Atlanta over the past two decades. The same article listed these possibilities:

Gas South Arena (Duluth, Georgia) – Located in the Atlanta suburbs
KFC Yum! Center (Louisville, Kentucky)
VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena (Jacksonville, Florida)
GreenCity Arena (Richmond, Virginia)—This brand–new arena
Greensboro Coliseum

My thoughts are Louisville would be objected to by many. As innovative as the ACC is (NOT) it will be in Greensboro.

I am with Triad on this. Atlanta is SEC country. Really don’t see GT bringing the fans and I guess I’m skeptical large contingents of fans will book flights and take off work for multiple days to fly in to ATL. Doubt FSU and Clemson fans are going to drive up in droves either.

Just feels like it would I’ll be heavily reliant on the general public being interested in college women’s basketball and while it’s growing in popularity I don’t see it being heavily attended. But I could be wrong.

Greensboro is right there for 4 charter schools and 3 of which have a pretty solid following and are generally good which makes for people in the stands.

The men’s tournament does ok in DC and ATL, better in Greensboro and Charlotte and was not well attended at all in Brooklyn. It sucks for the further away schools but the most passion for the conference is in NC, Va and SC. Get further away from the heart and attendance will dwindle IMO.

And it just adds spice to the event when Duke, UNC and NC State all have solid teams at the same time.
