[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 300060, member: 1045"] I agree with your comments on Bobby Dodd. It is an awesome place to see a game. We can agree to disagree on ticket prices. The exact same seat through ticketmaster for a single game for Atlanta United in the north endzone is $35 and is $40 for Tech football through the GTAA. Ticket prices are not the reason for Tech's attendance. Tech's ticket pricing is probably among the bottom half in the ACC and probably cheaper than all SEC tickets besides Vandy. All in all, Tech does okay in ticket sales. I agree with others that believe we should not have expanded past 45-50k. Reasons for Tech's attendance have been discussed a bunch. Attendance in general is declining everywhere with all games on TV and everyone having a giant flatscreen in their living room. Plus, we are still a relatively small, specialized, academically oriented school with barely enough registered alumni in the state of Georgia to even fill the stadium. (Only 61k -- [URL]http://factbook.gatech.edu/student-related-information/geographical-distribution-of-alumni-by-state-table-6-11/[/URL]). Atlanta also presents significant entertainment competition that you don't find around rural campuses. Hopefully we can pick up some new fans out of this that have had a chance to see how special a place Bobby Dodd can be to see a game. [/QUOTE]
