Bobby Dodd Renovation in the NE Stands

[Lil G]

Some of y’all make Chicken Little sound like William Wallace with your unwavering and unbacked pessimism

 

[TechPhi97]

Let me know when you submit anything positive or if substance to this board. Going to follow your contributions and put you on ignore after 5 stupid *** negative comments.

Why wait?

I'm excited - the renderings look really good and this should be a good recruiting tool. I know the CULC construction was a (small) factor in my choice to attend Tech (a building of which I definitely got my money's worth over my 4.5 years) so I'm sure athletes and recruits across all of our sports will be equally excited about this.

What’s the time frame on completion? 2026 or ‘27?

2026 I think. Might be end of year 2025.

Just in time for our entry into bigtime CFB and the playoffs.

Photos: The latest in the ongoing renovation project at Georgia Tech

The latest in the ongoing construction project at Georgia Tech includes the demolition of the Edge Center, making way for new football building that will reduce the capacity of Bobby Dodd Stadium.

I would invite him to describe what a G5 future looks like, since it seems to be a favorite expression of his, but I hate to encourage people throwing up on a page.

Because Tech is not going to get an invite to a P2 conference and teams like FSU, Clemson, Miami, UNC, UVA, VT. Louisville and probably Duke will get a seat at the table before GT. Where does that leave GT and the balance of the ACC, a conference worse that the AAC. Hello G5. There is your description, *******.

GT is high on the list of BIG interest. Higher than most in ACC. BIG has wanted a prcense in Atlanta a long time. Before you start with FB relevance, BIG added Rutgers for geographical reasons, not sports excellense.

A LOT has changed in the cable TV world since then .......

Settle down.

Settle down.

Has all the indications that MDaddy is a troll. Nothing to add other than criticism of the ACC. Worthy of ignoring.
Likely a SEC bigot.

Things have changed as far as cable to streaming goes but those streaming services like utubetv, hulu, etc still have to pay to broadcast the BIG network and they still have to pay and charge more per subscriber for a team in market. Guess who has the largest market by far of ANY of the teams you listed? The SEC and BIG both supposedly want UNC and UVA (possibly even more than CU and FSU) because they badly want to expand their footprint into new markets, how does that not apply to GT?

My God, it is as if you think Jesus is going to come down from heaven and save the conference. The ship has sailed ...

Literally 12 months ago the Big 12 was dead in the water with no Texas/Oklahoma. The Pac-12 was the one about to become the super conference. Life changes fast in college football and I’m not going to declare the sky is falling until we actually are in the G5.

Some folks are cockeyed optimists, seeing everything with a rosy tint. Some are hopeful, expecting the best but understanding bad things do happen. Some are skeptical, expecting those bad things to happen. Some are pessimists, convinced the world is ending in the near future. Some act as if the world has already ended. I pity these folks, because there’s always a bit of light even in the darkness, yet they will never experience it.

And some have no reason left for living and hover on the edge of the abyss.

and some cling to ideals of the past that are no longer relevant in today's college athletics. Failure to skate to where the puck is going most certainly leads to extinction.
