Need to build a dome over BDS@HGF

[GCdaJuiceMan]

We need BAFs wherever possible

Suntrust Park has Big *** Fans throughout its concourses. Well designed stadium imo.

I have never understood why American football stadiums don't implement awning systems like virtually all soccer stadiums. When Tech played in Aviva in Dublin, it was great. It was kind of crappy and raining, but under the awning it was really comfortable and great. Still felt 100% outdoors, field conditions were the same as an American football stadium, but the majority of fans were 3x as comfortable:

YES!!!! Allow CPJ to come back for the sake of seeing his disappointed facial expression stare at the other team as he gives them a thumb down when we lead in the 4th quarter!

I would prefer gladiatorial thumb down to money down

Somebody needs to photoshop that scene from gladiator to have cpj's face on it.

No thanks.

Do funeral homes still give out hand fans?

Do funeral homes still give out hand fans?

Yes. Especially in the southeastern U.S. LOL

 

[GTRambler]

Giving out a mist fan to each season ticket holder could bee a cheaper alternative for AD Stansbury to consider.

If you can’t stand the heat just watch it from your favorite seat at the house. Football should be played outside.

Funnily enough, the late 60s and early 70s were the coolest time in Georgia in recorded history. So no, it wasn't "just as hot".

If you'd been going to games at Grant Field in the 20s and 30s, then yeah ... your point would be valid.

Great find! I also decided to google GT’s historical football schedules for home openers in 1969, 1970, and 1971, and then searched the official historical weather data available for Atlanta (at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport) on those days.

Here’s what I found for each GT football home opener and the high temperature at 2:00 pm on those days:

September 20, 1969, home (season) opener vs SMU (won 24-21): 64 degrees.

September 12, 1970, home (season) opener vs South Carolina (won 23-20), 78 degrees.

September 18, 1971, home opener (2nd game of the season) vs Michigan State (won 10-0), 74 degrees.

Yeah, the weather in the south for that decade was substantially cooler than it is now.

And games started later in the year back then. Early September is brutal

 

[awbuzz]

I don’t want a dome...but these early September games are ridiculous. Screw the money we get from TV...just tell them we are playing at 8 PM and that they can show it if they want.

... well make it 6 or 7 PM

(addendum)
BUT buy season tickets anyway!

If we put a winning product on the field we will be selected for prime time night slots and attendance problem will solve itself... B2B eight win seasons would be a start to this...

Somebody tell Bama they need to win more since they're complaining about having to play in the middle of the day like the rest of the peons.

That's not how TV works...

Ohio State is starting the year with 3 straight nooners. I also believe someone crunched the numbers in recent years with Duke and WF getting later kickoffs than us.

The TV schedule is created to maximize eyeballs and revenue.

I was at The Players a couple years ago and they had these behind a couple of the greens. I’ll just say I wasn’t hot sitting on them.

 

[Gtbowhunter90]

Luckily for everyone going to BDS this saturday....

You get a noon kick and you get a noon kick EVERYBODY GETS A NOON KICK!!

Fox is putting their best games on at noon to counter program CBS and ESPN
