Bleacher Report 2019 bowl predictions

They have us going back to Charlotte, against UVA yet again.... didn’t this happen with Ohio state in the early 2000s?

I’ve watched those games on like YouTube and all that, but I was only 5-6 years old when it happened, plus living in New Jersey as a kid, although I grew up a South Carolina fan, you couldn’t watch a lot of the games until spurrier

Do they do this anymore?
(For this level of team)

I feel like if we do have that record they’d just put us in Shreveport instead?

I'll never go to another Belk Bowl.

Lines getting in were horrendous. We had luxury high dollar tickets and didn't get in until after the first quarter was over. 1000s of us were stuck in lines going through security. They didn't open up gates early enough. Concessions were overpriced and they ran out of ice at halftime. People lost r dropped their ticket stubs and were locked out of their seats when they tried to get back in their sections.

Total unprofessional shite show.

Pro stadiums I guess ... for pro games.

Not college games.

It wasn't that way in Tampa or Orlando or Shreveport for Bowl games.

So in Charlotte you had to have a ticket to get into the stadium of course, then one to go up the escalator. Same ticket to get into your level and then to get into your section.

So here was the problem some had and I understand why this was a problem.

You go through the first three stages, gates, escalator and then big doors to get into your level .... fans thought they were in.

You show your ticket getting to your seats then you drop your ticket .... a lot of people did. Then they get up to go to the bathroom or concessions or whatever and you try getting back to your seat, no-go. And it caused a major backup at all sections with a lot of pissed off fans stuck in limbo in the concourse now forced to watch the rest of the game from the concessions TVs and unable to get back to family or friends in the stands.

Cell service sucked donkey balls.

This was after getting in late because of 2 hours standing in line outside to get in.

Total shite show.

Ah gotcha
For the Final four elite 8 and Sweet 16 they did it too

And I remember when I was a student (and after when I came back) if I tried to get in without a student ticket, they sent me back

I’ve just always kept my ticket or phone (if electronic ticket) on me at all times and would always show the ushers because they asked for it.
Just went to a Mets game and they did it

Must be a pro thing, but sorry I don’t see any issue
Guess at this point it’s just engraved in my head to hold onto it

Monkeys throwing darts at this point, just like any other preseason attempts to predict and seed NCAA basketball tournaments. But yeah, that would suck for sure--hard pass.

We were going to this UNC game, were going to stay with friends up in Gaffney next Friday night and go to the game Saturdaymorning, but then my wife reminded me of all the bullshite .... we gave our tickets away to my Son and his date.

But yea the ticket policy you speak of isn’t shocking or different to me
