The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) will move the CIAA Football Championship to Salem, VA after announcing it would no longer hold champion events in Durham, NC due to its upholding of the HB2 law.
The CIAA is made up of 11 universities and one college that range from Pennsylvania to North Carolina, and is headquartered in Charlotte, NC.
The championship game will be held at Salem Stadium on Saturday, November 12, 2016 and will feature the top teams from the Northern and Southern Divisions. Attendance is estimated to be in excess of 4,000 and will attract visitors from all over Virginia’s Blue Ridge.
Salem hosts various NCAA Championship events such as the Stagg Bowl (Division III Football), Men’s Basketball, Baseball, Women’s Lacrosse, Softball, Volleyball, and was most recently awarded Men’s and Women’s Soccer at Roanoke College on December 2-3, 2016.
