Fans Pack BOA to Watch Tar Heels Take On Gamecocks

CHARLOTTE, NC — While the Cats did battle in the Steel City, it was a battle of the Carolinas Thursday night at Bank of America Stadium.

The Gamecocks beat the Tar Heels 17 – 13 to kick off the college football season.  Fans on both sides say they have big expectations for this year.

“I’m looking forward to our quarterback, our strong offensive line, our strong offense. They can really put up some big numbers,” said Taft Jamison of Gaffney, SC.

“We are the better team, we have the better offense, we have the better defense,” said Dwight Sanders of Conway, SC.

Thursday’s game wasn’t just big for fans.  Some restaurants and bars around the Bank said they do almost triple the business on game night.
