According to the Charlotte Business Journal, the Board of Trustees University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which is located in the north eastern part of Charlotte, NC, near Concord, NC real estate, approved a recommendation to build a football program. This is big news for the Charlotte area football fans. There is currently college football, like at Johnson C Smith University, but it's Division II. The important part of this move is that the football program will represent Charlotte's largest university. UNCC will play at the Division I level.
Launching a football program is no small undertaking. Football is an expensive sport where the school foots the bill for most of the equipment for players. The fields and maintenance are expensive, and the stadiums are super expensive. But the people at UNCC apparently feel that it is worth it to get the UNCC name out there.
They will start with a seat license program and look for donors for the new stadium later. The Business Journal reports that of the early interest in season tickets, most are from people who have never given money to the university before. This is good for UNCC, but also for Charlotte NC real estate, because it ensures that the university will stay vital.
