Those are privately owned single location sports pubs.

I don't believe the other conferences have anything to do with those establishments. The SEC Pub is a pub in Lexington, KY. The Big Ten Restaurant is a Pub in Minneapolis, MN.

I'm talking about the ACC American Cafe that is actually a project sponsored by the Conference itself in partnership with HMSHost, the Maryland company that does food service at Airports.

The ACC should get these going at all of the HMSHost Airports in the ACC geographic footprint, get travellers used to dining there, and then branch out to airports outside the ACC footprint once the restaurant brand is successful.

I have to tip my hat to the ACC for being the first conference -- VTHokie2000 05/05/2017 6:59PM

The others certainly could, but I like the idea of the ACC trying it. -- HOO86 05/05/2017 7:36PM

Maybe they are getting ready for the BTN *TIC* -- VTHokie2000 05/05/2017 12:22PM

Nobody said there won't be. ** -- reestuart 05/05/2017 11:31AM

Yes some did on the linear. -- Stech 05/05/2017 12:09PM

I wouldn't bet any high value item, like a house, car, etc on it happening.** -- Atlee Hokie 05/05/2017 4:05PM

I am betting the house...you should too. -- Stech 05/05/2017 5:43PM
