The ACC "viewed its relocation of the league’s football championship to Orlando as 'a smooth transition,' though game attendance took a hit" last night at Camping World Stadium. The official attendance of 50,628 was the "lowest total in the ACC Championship's 12-game history." The lower bowl of 70,000-seat Camping World Stadium was "mostly full," but the upper decks were "sparsely populated" for Clemson's win against Virginia Tech. Ticket prices "plummeted on the secondhand market," and the ACC was "giving out free tickets to Orlando business partners." The ACC "removed all championship events from the state of North Carolina in response to House Bill 2" in September (Charleston POST & COURIER, 12/4).
