GREENSBORO — The Atlantic Coast
Conference began reviewing proposals Wednesday from seven cities to host the
league's first football championship game in 2005.
A sub-committee of the league's
athletics directors met with conference officials to review proposals from
Charlotte; Baltimore; Miami; Jacksonville, Fla.; Orlando, Fla.; Tampa, Fla.;
and Washington, D.C., the league said in a release.
The league's championship game would
take place once the ACC has expanded to 12 teams. Miami and Virginia Tech
join the league Thursday, while Boston College is slated to become the 12th
member next year.
The league is expected to announce a
decision by early fall.
In an interview this week with the
Associated Press, commissioner John Swofford said the league solicited
proposals from nine cities, with only Atlanta and East Rutherford, N.J.,
declining to participate.
"We're extremely pleased at what's
coming back in terms of interest and support for the game," Swofford said.
Swofford said it was too early to say
if any city had an advantage. He acknowledged Charlotte would be a "strong
possibility." The city has the 73,367-seat Bank of America Stadium, home to
the NFL's Carolina Panthers and the Continental Tire Bowl.
"No question Charlotte is a strong
possibility, along with several others," Swofford said. "Charlotte has the
central location and superb stadium and now has two years of a very
successful bowl game that I think indicates the city is very supportive and
excited about college football."
