Baltimore Gets in on ACC Bids

The ACC Championship game is up for grabs and another player is stepping up. Baltimore might not seem like the most obvious or desirable choice to anyone who has watched The Wire but the city does have a few things going for it. M&T Bank offers a perfect setting and is actually closer to the majority of the ACC than leading candidates Jacksonville and Tampa. However, Baltimore cannot offer much in the weather department. A game held the first week in December has a chance to be clear and brisk, but in reality will probably be very cold and wet. If the ACC is going to take a chance on weather, they will do it in their own backyard of Charlotte. As much as the conference wants to pretend tickets sales and geography are the most important factors in their decision, the winning bid will likely come down to money. If the city officials pony up enough cash we could see the ACC Champion in Charm City.
