[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 813050, member: 2957"] Since the thread is about stadiums, I’ll stick to that. BDS is one of my two favorite stadiums to watch a game, the other being Ole Miss. By today’s game day experience expectations, it is woefully out of date. There are no visible sight lines to the field from the concourses, luxury and loge seats are few, and overall food is ok but limited. Folks talk about sidewalk fans? They want a fun “game day experience“ and that includes the facility. BDS today is marginally better than my high school stadium and that was 1960s too. (The school built a new stadium away from campus with excellent parking and close to restaurants. Attendance exploded and is a Friday night sellout today.) The highest concentration of Tech alumni is N Atlanta. I wonder what would happen if Tech built a 30,000 seat, state of the art stadium there for a few games there and rented it for events to others on non game days ... I know Stansbury wants MBS because he can sell corporate suites and booze, but and potential fans (families) are in Dunwoody, Roswell and Alpharetta. We love BDS. But while it was state of the art in 1960, it is not current with today’s expectations. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
