Local Ticket Sales up for ACC Championship Game

Kelly said that as of Tuesday morning, there had been 30,000 - 35,000 tickets sold in the Tampa area.  Last year a little under 30,000 tickets were sold in the greater Jacksonville area.  Tampa Bay Buccaneer CB Ronde Barber, an ACC Alum from the University of Virginia has been featured in a local marketing push for the game.  This is good for the ACC as there biggest challenge in preparing for its fourth conference title game is if it can make enough fans in central and south Florida care about the game especially if neither Miami nor Florida state is playing in the title game.
