ACCT Returning to NC in 2019

[VaWolf82]

…Commissioner John Swofford said at a news conference Thursday that Charlotte’s Time Warner Cable Arena would host the event in 2019 followed the next year by the Greensboro Coliseum, located a short drive from the league’s headquarters.

The announcement came one day after the league said it would hold its 2017 and 2018 tournaments in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center…

Swofford also said the league is still considering whether to move up its tournament championship game from Sunday afternoon to Saturday night, possibly as early as next year.

Does anyone else remember reading that the new Charlotte Coliseum didn’t meet the ACC’s capacity requirement for holding the ACCT?

Is the proposed move to Sat night for more TV viewers or is it based on common sense that the Selection Committee needs more time to finalize the selections and seeding? (otherwise known as a rhetorical question)

I recall that, too but I just checked and Barclays seats 18k and Charlotte 20k, so that must not be an issue for the conference any longer.
