After hundreds of submissions from UNC Charlotte students were narrowed down to two, the students voted “The 49th Acre” as the new name for the Student Outdoor Event Venue and Tailgate Park.

The Charlotte 49ers are joining forces with several leading sports organizations in the Charlotte area to offer enriching experiences for young people interested in the sports industry.

The Charlotte 49ers 2022 football schedule includes eight Conference USA games and a four-game non-conference slate. Seven of the 49ers’ opponents appeared in 2021 FBS Bowl games, including home opponents Maryland, WKU and UTEP.  In head coach Will Healy’s fourth season, the 49ers will play six home games and six road games.
