Heels still draw a crowd

Posted Oct 13, 2006

John Bunting may be on the hot seat after a 1-4 start. But on paper, at least, UNC football remains a hot ticket this week, as well. Only 250 tickets remained Thursday for Saturday's noon kickoff against South Florida at Kenan Stadium. Almost 6,000 sold were $10 "Youth Day" tickets. The near-sellout could be a good sign for Bunting. His predecessor, Carl Torbush, was fired in 2000 partly because attendance began dropping off. (Raleigh News & Observer)
