GT has more student seats than UGA for a less successful team, smaller student body, and less pervasive football culture.Just need them to figure out how to be college basketball fans
On the real though, our student section is one of the best in college football if we're measuring by engagement/noise/staying til the end. The main issue people bring up is the south endzone but that really has more to do with GTAA offering too much supply for our student body population. The general need to downsize Bobby Dodd is a tired discussion on here though. Maybe I'm off here but I don't think anybody is sitting in those seats, student or not. It's a terrible spot to watch a game from - too low/shallow, bad scenery skyline-speaking, no jumbotron, horrible concessions, etc.
I don’t know if it’s always been this way but I think they just started selling 112 to the general public. When I had young alumni season tickets my first year after graduating, they were in 121 but I think I only got back to Atlanta for 1 game and I can’t remember the vibe of the section.
A young alum section would be awesome
They do have young alumni season tickets in 121 as @AUFC said but I’m talking something more single-game, general admission-style for an average GT fan. My friends can only make it to 1 or 2 games a year together for example. Would be nice to sit in a packed and loud student-style section instead of the UN.
Never thought about south end zone seats before. Those truly sound like horrible seats.Just need them to figure out how to be college basketball fans

When I was in school, that was an issue as well, but they changed how priority for blocks was determined for the following season based on attendance percentage and (I think) when people were showing up. I don't know if that's still the case or not.
If so, that’s good. This is two Atlanta teams. GSU has a huge alumni base in town. We should expect a sellout.
They sell the closer rows before the ones further back, and don't mark the highest rows as available unless they manage to sell the lower ones at the same price level.
With all do respect, if someone tells me to sit down at a football game, security may be taking me out of BDS. First of all, we’re at a f**king football game. Secondly, I’m a grown man, don’t let that little degree get to your head old man.
Going to make a thread on /r/gatech after work for alumni to offer ticket donations to students and kick it off with 4 free tickets. @devcon I have one of the 4 earmarked for you if your masters student athletic fee situation didn't get worked out in time - DM me. @crayfish895 - same offer to you (not sure if you bought block tickets or not)
this. However when Tech is good, many GT fans who have left the area will travel to Atlanta to see games, this is why we had good attendance during the 2000's and 2010's.
does this mean the small lower south seats will actually have a pulse?
They need to start distributing non-student section tickets to any student that wants one. There are plenty left!
Luckily after a lot of calling and emailing I got it figured out, and managed to get the correct block assignment too!
ACCN is on Comcast
Do we not have the "rat" section anymore? Too demeaning i guess. BDS was close to full when I was a freshman and my freshman class was around 2500. We sat in some crummy bleachers in the east sun. Could hardly see the teams on the field and it was HOT. GameDay Saturday is part of the college experience IMO. The library was deserted during the game.
