Roll Call (and tailgating?) for Saturday

'No tailgating on campus, but we have beer now so come to the stadium 2 hours early and tailgate.'

If you actually went through the “transfer” option under your account, then yes, that can only be done one time. If you just forward the email link as I outlined above, it’s accessible by more than one device. At least apple devices, because I just imported my UCF tickets to my own apple wallet, and then with the steps I outlined above, also loaded my UCF tickets to 2 of my employees’ Apple wallets while they are still in my wallet.

Hmm, interesting. Obviously you are more cyber savvy than I am. LOL

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Call the ticket office, they should be able to fix it.

Thanks, but I already did that. It took even them more than one try to get it fixed though. LOL

As a current student, it’s definitely just Covid concerns. Our student cases have dropped recently, and I think they want to keep it that way.

There has never been any problem with protests or riots on campus. I lived here this summer and things were only hairy for 3 days, and all was downtown, was never nervous on Tech’s campus

So, what is the Bobby Dodd footprint? Is 5th St. bridge included?

This is a good question, and I wanted to bump it in case someone missed it and had an answer. Is this in the "footprint", and if not, are there any ATL restrictions that may apply?

Is it still Gold for home games? (I'm asking becuase it seems we have put a lot of emphasis on navy this year)

HOPEFULLY one game with blue does not mean an emphasis on blue.

Light colors in hot afternoon games. One of the reasons Dodd used white at home. Make the other team wear dark colors when its hot.

'No tailgating on campus, but we have beer now so come to the stadium 2 hours early and tailgate.'

From earlier email today ...

• Chairs, grills, and coolers will not be permitted outside of an individual's vehicle and no loitering or gatherings of any size will be permitted in any on-campus area outside of the Bobby Dodd Stadium footprint for Saturday's game;
• Those who purchased parking passes for RV lots are still permitted to park their RVs on campus, but will not be permitted to participate in any tailgating activities outside of their vehicles;
• If a pass holder for an RV lot wishes to exchange their pass for a spot in a standard lot on Saturday, they may do so by contacting the Georgia Tech athletics ticket office.

UGA announces no tailgating, but allows for gatherings in lots

ATHENS — Georgia announced it won’t allow tailgating before football games this season. However, the school will allow groups of ticket holders to “gather in parking lots” up to three hours before kickoff.

The timing of UGA also announcing would lead me to believe that the state had something to do with this.

It's all about trying to limit the ability for COVID to spread.
They don't want groups interacting with other groups of people. Basically, they want you to arrive, go to the stadium, get into the stadium, get some discounted food and drink and get to your socially distanced seats. The less groups interact with each other the lower the chances of COVID spread at the game.

They’re just driving our activities off campus. We’re still tailgating just not at GT.

Be forewarned that the city of Atlanta may prohibit tailgating too. There are city policies in place regarding gatherings of people, even in small numbers.

It’s a maximum of 50 people, correct? We’re about half that. I haven‘t seen any restrictions anywhere except the number 50 chucked around in various news stories.

I don't know for sure, but I thought it was far less than that --- like around 10 people. I will see what I can find out.

For what it’s worth, I have heard through law enforcement friends not to be surprised if groups (aka tailgating) isn’t asked to be broken up if spotted and said group isn’t social distancing among members.

We’re at a guy’s house with a huge back yard close to campus. I guess if Atlanta PD is running around raiding people’s homes we’re going to have some trouble. We’re not a fun group to wantonly screw with.

I would THINK the back yard of a private dwelling should be ok.
