[QUOTE="SolicitorJacket, post: 101722, member: 990"] I don't know where folks get the idea that it is hard to get in and out of midtown Atlanta for game day. I no longer tailgate but I come to every home game. This past saturday, I left home in McDonough drove up, parked in the AT&T lot on 3rd and Spring. Walked through the tunnel and met my stepfather at the North Ave gate for the West Stands. We were in our seats 10 mins before kickoff and that whole process took less than an hour. No traffic jams, nothing. That is typical. It is nothing like the traffic cluster that is Athens (spent 7 years there) or Clemson or Auburn. The ticket prices for Sat did not help, but I think the main culprits are 1) Ease of watching every game in HD on the big screen in the comfort of home. 2) Noon games which present time problems for many with younger kids; and 3) A local media that is in love with all things UGA and SEC. The Dwags preach that "Tech Sucks" and until they are forced to admit otherwise, the media falls in lockstep with that narrative. Hard to attract a nonaffiliated fan base when they are inundated with the message that Tech football is not cool. Only solution there is to beat the Dwags regularly. We will start on Saturday.
