The Charlotte 49ers and Appalachian State will meet for the third straight season after the two schools agreed to a game at Appalachian State, Sept. 12, in what is now the 49ers' 2020 season-opener.
The schools decided to play the game in Boone due to the larger seating capacity at Kidd Brewer Stadium in a year in which attendance may be limited due to the pandemic.
"This game has been our number one scheduling priority," said 49ers Director of Athletics Mike Hill. "We have tremendous respect for App State's football program and look forward to another great game against them.
