After much speculation, the ACC confirmed Thursday that its football championship game will now be played at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
The move comes just two weeks after the league decided to move all of its championship events out of North Carolina due to HB2. Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte was the originally scheduled host.
This will now mark the sixth time in 12 years that the state of Florida has hosted the ACC Championship, and the first since it was played in Tampa back in 2009.
Jacksonville was the location of the league’s first three championship games from 2005-2007, while Tampa also welcomed the event in 2008.
Camping World Stadium just recently went under a $208 million renovation in April of 2015.
Yesterday the ACC announced it would give 100 percent refunds to all people who purchased their tickets for the game in Charlotte.
On Oct. 5, those same people–along with all Florida Citrus Sports members–will have a three-day pre-sale opportunity to buy tickets.
The general public will be able to purchase tickets through Ticketmaster beginning Oct. 10 at 10 a.m.
Scheduling for the game did not change, as it will still be played in primetime on Saturday, Dec. 3.
