VMI tried that in 1996, when they hosted UNC.........didn't work. About 7 weeks before the game, they put those tickets on sale as "single game". wound up a 60/40 crowd (VMI/UNC), out of 4800.
(That was the largest crowd in Cameron Hall until this past January, when you all and us filled Cameron w/5,020)

i got a last minute phone call and drove all the way from myrtle beach to lexington for that game. i sat on press row for the game at cameron hall under the guise of a reporter for wdbj7...even though i was actually still a student at ccu at the time. i even got to go back in the locker room for the interview with michelangelo afterwards, which was pretty cool for this die-hard tarheel fan. it was just a few games before dean took over the top spot in all-time wins. actually, one of the keydets' better players at that time was a teammate of mine at martinsville high.
back on topic...unc, b/c of buzz peterson, was actually 'supposed to be' lined up as coastal's first opponent in their new YRT2 arena that never came to fruition.
