Section 107 - about like UNC. Easy walk up stairs to get "refreshment" - I may need a few.

Never thought it was a good idea. I'm not a 17 year old recruit but I don't see how playing a game in an NFL stadium is a recruiting pitch. I'd rather walk through Yellow Jacket Alley on campus with the band playing and run out the tunnel behind the Wreck in the oldest still-in-use stadium in FBS to 55,000 fans clad in gold as the sunset falls over the Midtown/Downtown skyline. Is GTAA making significantly more money off these games after production costs?So does anyone still really think giving up a home game at BDS for “Mayhem at MBS” is a good thing ? Of course if we beat Clemson then yes…
GT basically thinks GT traditions or worthless and would rather sell MBSNever thought it was a good idea.

Of course, we can't have that either. Selfishly as a fan, it's terrible. MBS does knock it out of the park on concessions and logistics but the vibe at a rocking Bobby Dodd is seeped in history and unparalleled, especially night games, and you practically are on top of the sideline from any seat in the stadium. The 2017 ATLUTD games at Bobby Dodd were so much fun with a true home environment that fans still reminisce about them. I've never gotten to experience that with GTFB to be honest, which sucks.
It's a chic fil a opening game. It's not a GT home game. Tech got a limited allotment. We gave up a home game to go to this. We gain revenue, but lose guaranteed seating.
In past dorms and frats are on east side of campus. Kind of splits the campus.GT basically thinks GT traditions or worthless and would rather sell MBS
Annual corporate club seat licenses at MBS are still corporate club seats for this game. I’m going off an N=1, but because of that I’m assuming that holds true for most of the premium sideline seats.
We're an athletic department with so much debt and liabilities, we can't really afford to invest in the future. We just squeeze the fans and alumni for every penny we can as we die a slow death, which is being accelerated by NIL unfortunately. I'll be a fan of GT, D1 or D3 - but I am starting to come to terms there might come a day where we aren't playing for the championships at the highest level and budgets are cut. Georgia Tech football season tickets are practically a charitable donation at this point - $100/ticket/game to sit every game in 205U is not good value.GT basically thinks GT traditions or worthless and would rather sell MBS
I don't like it but they're supposedly making a butt ton of money off the gamesin the Benz, money we needed to staff and recruit better. Below is GT's rationale they advertised when they announced the deal:So does anyone still really think giving up a home game at BDS for “Mayhem at MBS” is a good thing ?

I guess I have to balk at the statement: GT season ticket members will have priority access to preferred seating options (including premium seating). There's nobody on this board that seems like they have equal to Bobby Dodd seat assignments. For this year's game against Clemson, I'm better than Tennessee but worse than UNC. I about quadrupled my giving when Collins got hired so I expected better seats than Tennessee, plus we would theoretically only have half the seats for the Tennessee game as it was not a "home" game. When I got much better seats for UNC, it appeared the elevated support paid off. Fast forward a year here, with no drop off in support (in fact I upped it again after they called beggng) & I'm not shoved into the endzone like Tennessee but I have no where near as good as seats as UNC. I have a hard time believing more people started donating a lot & my AT rank dropped precipitously as a result. We cannot have the priority access originally advertised. Something stinks here and it's likely GT bungled this game screwing our fans over once again.
Sheeesh! Not badMy seats are in 112c.
You must give a bucket load of money to GTAA! Can I borrow some money? My daughter wants to go to law school (and I want a bigger boat).My seats are in 112c.

I’m in 203.
Same here. CL2 at Dodd, corner end zone at the Benz. Makes me wonder where the good seats are going?
