ACC Football Championship Game Tickets: Historical Overview

In 2005, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) expanded to 12 teams after the recent additions of Miami-Florida, Virginia Tech and Boston College. For football, the league split into a pair of six-team divisions for the purpose of having a championship game. The Atlantic (Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Maryland, North Carolina State and Wake Forest) and Coastal (Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami-Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Tech) division winners advance to the conference title game each season.

The first six ACC Championship Games have been held in NFL stadiums that are in the region. Jacksonville hosted the initial three title games. In 2008-09, Tampa was the site of the contests. Last season, the game was played outside of Florida for the first time in Charlotte.

The winner of the game receives one of the six automatic bids to participate in a Bowl Championship Series (BCS) game. Unless the winning squad gains a spot in the BCS National Championship Game, the ACC champion plays in the Orange Bowl.
