The Charlotte 49ers first spring game is slated for Saturday, April 20. In advance of the scrimmage, University leaders will host a town hall meeting at 3 p.m., Monday, April 15, in Cone University Center, McKnight Hall, to discuss campus issues related to football game days. Chancellor Philip L. Dubois, Director of Athletics Judy Rose and others will cover various topics.
While the full impact of football game days will be felt with the inaugural 2013 season this fall, the April 20 spring game will provide a dry run for game-day operations, including traffic routes in and out of campus, reserved parking designations and tailgating.
The April 15 town hall meeting will include a discussion of the various committees that have been assembled to research and review the impact of football game days, including specific attention to:
- Parking and traffic routes on and off campus
- Tailgating policies
- Student ticket policies
- Stadium set-up
- Use of University space on campus
- Student activities
- Team activities
- Game Day communication
