I think the players would enjoy NYC as they would be escorted everywhere and have pre-arranged sessions anywhere they go.

For fans however, there is plenty to dislike about NYC. Mostly in the category of crimes, dirt/filth, and the occasional disruptive demonstrations that are occurring these days. Not to mention the expense....goodness, that is an expensive city!
NYC is a great time. It depends on where you stay and what you want to do. There is no city in the world like NYC. There is an opportunity to experience ANYTHING you've ever wanted to experience in NYC.

I don't want GT to play in Pinstripe, but people who talk about how dangerous NYC is are just watching too much Fox News and don't actually travel there.
Same with Chicago. Probably one of the safest places to be in a downtown setting. Get a little south or west and you'll run into some rough neighborhoods, but inside the Loop is pretty damn safe.

Whatever, but if one let’s that ruin your chance to go see Tech in our first bowl since ‘18 then idk what to say, I guess different people have different priorities. Making literally everything political in your life is guaranteed to make you one miserable human being.
You are confusing politics with reality in NYC thus making you the "miserable human being".

Too me, Chicago has everything to offer as NY but with a midwest culture that I much prefer over those damn Yankees in NY.

I love Chicago, especially the jazz clubs. But, no city in the world has as many hidden gems and secret hot spots as NY. It has always amazed me how many free things there are to do compared to Atlanta and other cities.

Yes it was. I was selling programs at that one. Still remember it pretty well.
I was there and it was cold, but not terribly so. It snowed not rained, and I was in the 9th grade, so it was pretty cool to see. Grant Field was completely covered in about 2" of snow. We were in the UE and you couldn't even see across the stadium to the UW it was snowing so hard for a while - just during halftime. But as it wasn't terribly cold, the snow turned to mush by the end of the game and getting home wasn't too bad.

I was there too, very nasty and we did get kicked pretty good.
Check out Buster Faulkner for OC. Current quality control assistant for UGA but has been OC for several programs. Local guy, ( Parkview and Valdosta State), still young and hungry. Very successful in smaller programs and now 2 years under Monken at UGA. Won state championship at Parkview and National championship at VSU.
You should post more.

I had tickets every year for the Peach Bowl for several years beginning with the inaugural game and the only one I can remember that wasn’t either wet, cold, or snowing was South Carolina vs West Virginia.

Anyone from around these parts knows that late December in Atlanta is generally wet and cold.
