They are doing 7V7 camps. I assume he is a high school player on one of the teams. There are plenty of players there that are being recruited by GT. Whether he is being recruited or not, he is a high school kid who might not understand the animosity towards him for having mutt gear in the stadium.
What’s the issue? The LE is routinely half full of dwag fans, about every other season.

And if he’s a true u(sic)ga fan, that’s just one of many things he doesn’t understand.

The stadium is at full capacity when the players exit the tunnel too - no trickling in throughout the first quarter. Maybe they show up for big games like OSU last season but I've been in libraries louder than Notre Dame Stadium though.
It was packed in 15 when we traveled there. We were averaging about 600 yds rushing in our first 2 games after the great 2014 orange bowl win, so they were really eager to see how their d would do.
I remember them cheering loudly- but now that you mention it, it was not loud at all, compared to a rocking BDS.

These guys have $3 beers from gate open until kickoff.

You're telling me Georgia Tech has figured out a way to do half off every pre-game item BUT beer (https://ramblinwreck.com/stm-menu-discount/)? Meanwhile our social media will post photos of the Wreck coming out of the northeast tunnel with a quarter filled west stands. What in the actual hell are we doing? It's not even a personal gripe - I'm lucky to be fine paying full price for a stadium beer, but this affects recruiting, gameday atmosphere, home field advantage, and ultimately attendance.

Should do a $2 beer night at McCamish too. I went to one of these at a true basketball school once and the place was an absolute madhouse and led to multiple huge runs that won them the game.

Doesn’t state law prevent alcohol consumption/sales? I thought McCamish had restricted access for those who wanted drinks?
McCamish and Bobby Dodd have both had beer sales for several years (2021?). I know GA has crazy happy hour laws but I don't think there's anything preventing us from a promotion like this.

We drove by the ex-Edge building last Sunday night and the building was almost entirely gone. It should be mostly gone by now. It was a concrete frame building and they used equipment that kinda' picked at it like this.
