Our losses to Duke and UNC in 2014 were for a combined total of 11 points. We did win a couple of close games that year but that was a really, really good team. If you couldn’t get excited while watching that team then I’d have to check you for a pulse.
Say more about viewing experience. I ask because I always felt closer to the field and had a better view than I ever had watching the Falcons.
Justin Thomas running that damn bone is not luck. Laskey and Days pile driving opponents on dive plays for 4 or 5 yards is not luck. About 475 yards total offense per game is not luck The 2014 team deserves every accolade that came their way.
You nailed it: “we have a chance to win”! Now when Collins garbage game planning leads to losses to NIU & The Citadel, any win is in doubt! Next, Collins coached us to 66 point & 45 point losses to Clemson, VT, & UGA then what do people expect? Great college football - or horrible college football?
31.5k? which means that more than 50% of the seats were filled. Does anyone believe that?
I 100% agree with that. The view of the action is pretty great. But everything around that is usually pretty mediocre.
It's pretty bad but I have seen some pretty sparse crowds in my time. The late 1970s and early 1980s with Pepper and Curry were almost as bad at times unless we were playing Auburn, Clemson, Georgia or Tennessee.
I drive 3+ hrs to attend each game. Traffic is not an issue. I was next to the GSU Stadium less than an hour before kickoff and saw the road signs warning of lane closure so I was able to take surface streets and made it to Cenergy Deck, browse the bookstore for big & tall cold gear, go back to the truck empty handed and put on the old gear, make it to the stadium, take a picture of the Rice statue, get the pregame discount on food and have it eaten before kickoff. I've take surface streets many times to games this year and no issues. And I think the North Ave MARTA station is 3 blocks from the stadium. (Disclaimer: I only ride MARTA morning of the Peachtree) I doubt gameday traffic in Athens is any easier. Or Clemson. Or USCe. Or Knoxville. Or Gainesville. Maybe just leave a little earlier.
I’ve never had a problem with the traffic personally but it is a recurring theme for many Tech fans who live several hours away.I drive 3+ hrs to attend each game. Traffic is not an issue.

Exactly. People should go back and look at the schedule and the season records of the teams we played in 2014. Had that team played the 1990 schedule it would have gone undefeated and won a national championship.

I live north of Atlanta and there always seem to be multiple lane closures because of construction or wrecks. I even tried taking MARTA but getting to the station can sometimes be an issue for the same reason. Thursday night games were almost impossible. I’ve been to Clemson, Athens, Auburn, Notre Dame, etc. with less issues. Regardless, it isn’t something that GT can fix but it is a pain.I drive 3+ hrs to attend each game. Traffic is not an issue.

The most GT could do is have high frequency trolley shuttles from the midtown MARTA station to near the stadium, and I don't know if that's even worth it. Everything else is outside their control.
