I've got tickets to the Duke - Carolina game Wed.

I'm going to the game Wednesday and it's looking like NC might get slammed with a winter storm. My question is... what would it take for them to postpone the game due to weather?

 

The reason I ask is, I'm going to be driving about three to three and a half hours to get to the game in normal conditions, add in snow and ice, it could be brutal!! I've spent a lot of money on tickets and lodging and right now I'm afraid I'm going to waste it all! Do/Will they postpone a basketball game due to weather? If so, How far in advance do they do it?

 

I put this in the lounge because I thought I might get a better response than the basketball forum. Mods, if you feel it needs to be moved, I understand!

 

Thanks for any help I can get!!!

They don't postpone games due to weather unless the teams can't make it.

When Atlanta got hit with the blizzard and the entire city shut down, unc played ga tech that night and the game still went on because the team was already there. No fans or camera crews could make it though and the game still went on.

Not knowing your work schedule/real life stuff - I'd look into getting a hotel room. They aren't gonna cancel/postpone the game. Unc had to play in ATL (GaTech) a few weeks ago when all that crap snow was going on. They had horrible travel conditions and the city basically shutdown...they still had to play.

U could always sell them if you're that concerned. It sucks but they'd fetch a nice price.

Thanks for the info guys! I can't really sell the tickets because my girlfriend's son is on the basketball team and this is the only chance she is going to get to go see them. I would break her heart if I sold them!

 

I have a 4WD so I think i will be OK as long it's just snow, if it is an ice storm I'm screwed! I have hotel reservations, so as long as I can get there I won't have to worry about driving back!

LOL!!! He's not a player, he wears a suit and sits behind the bench. I don't really know what he does but he always sits behind Roy Williams.

 

What will really suck is when you see a half-empty arena and you paid a crapload for the tickets. On the other hand, you'll probably be able to "upgrade" and move a lot closer to the floor.

 

I haven't thought about that, but with it being Duke and UNC, I can't see it being half empty! But you better believe if I get the chance I will get closer!

No doubt.

While your enjoying one of the best sporting events in America at a "half empty arena" - Anybodyhome will be sitting on his couch playing with his cat. Hopefully his 7/11 doesn't sell out of Busch Light before the big game.

      Panthers vs Bucs matchup

      By NAS · Posted

      What are the matchups, stats and superlatives?   I think this will be a hard game. Bucs are a very balanced team on offense:  7th  in total yards per game, 7th in passing, 10th in rushing. Baker is having another career year even better than last year but despite missing his Godwin and Evans. Bucs defense is poor (29th) particularly passing defense, but we’re also depleted in our receiving with Coker and Sanders likely out. Running Chuba is key but their defense is better against the run. (16th) I think this is likely going to require us to score a lot of points to keep up and hopefully the home field advantage tips the scale in our favor. My other concern is our run defense and being able to stop their rookie study Bucky Irving who the Bucs have shifted more carries to recently and he’s averaging 5.4 ypc and knows how to get into the endzone with 5 TDs so far.

      Chris Long: Bryce Young Went Toe To Toe With Patrick Mahomes

      This is nonsense and you know it. People will be happy when we are consistently and convincingly winning games against good teams. There are people in here talking down to others after losses and barely beating the terrible NY Giants. If you want to strut around here like only you are a real Panthers fan and rage pooing posts because your jimmies are rustled then hey good luck with all that. I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving.
