Miami taking road trip to Appalachian State seriously
Looking to see Appalachian State host its first-ever Power 5 conference foe this weekend? Better get ready to shell out some serious cash.
As the High County Press reported, tickets for Appalachian State’s game against Miami are going for as much as $749 on resale sites after the game sold out almost immediately after tickets went on sale this summer.
For the Mountaineers, Miami’s visit is a boon. Just two weeks after App State nearly upended Tennessee on the road, the Hurricanes’ trip to Boone, North Carolina, provides some legitimacy for a program that has only been playing at the FBS level for two years. For Miami, however, the trip is, well, not ideal.
