Businesses hope for big turnout at ACC championship

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — More than 60,000 are expected to attend the game, according to ACC officials.

Florida State takes on Georgia Tech at Bank of America Stadium Saturday night. While fans from both sides are confident they will win, businesses are hoping to cash in big too.

"Any event over there is good for us and we want as many (events) as possible," said John Dixon of Courtyard Hooligans.

Businesses do not want a repeat of 2012.

Ticket sales dropped and attendance was estimated at below 50,000. That year also featured Florida State and Georgia Tech and was also played in less than perfect weather.
