Spring Game 2020

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

I just saw that the Spring Game has been scheduled for Friday night April 10. That is the Friday of Masters Week. I realize that not many people have Masters tickets, although I do. But the Spring Game never gets much coverage to begin with, and this particular date will result in virtually no coverage at all. Additionally, a member of the Tech golf team will be playing in the tournament. This is just STUPID on Tech's part.

Oh wow! Not smart! I was wondering why so much earlier this year?

Also collides with a baseball conference series at home vs. NC State. If they had waited a week the baseball team would be on the road and you would avoid Masters week. I’m sure there’s a lot of logic at play behind the scenes, but on the surface it’s a strange decision. Maybe they know that no other school will be playing spring games that weekend and they want to be the only show going on for recruits.

It is also Good Friday, which could be bad or good depending on how you look at it. If you are Christian and observe it it could conflict and prevent you from going. However because it is Good Friday most people either have it off or take it off to be with the kids since schools are closed. This allows it to still be Friday Night Lights and allow people plenty of time to travel and reduces rush hour traffic before the game.

It was on Good Friday a few years ago, and it definitely hurt attendance.

Georgia Tech needs to go ahead and have the Spring Game on Saturdays

Highest attended spring game ever last year I’m sure there will be another good crowd.

How did I know this would be a thread for BITC**** AGAIN????? God you people need to get a damn grip. It's a damn scrimmage.

Over on JOL, folks are lamenting having to choose between their faith, family and Georgia tech football.

I remember reading an article about the failing NFL due to Sunday games and the impact it was having on attendance and revenue. Decent Americans just don’t want to have to choose between the Sabbath and pigskin. Oh wait, never mind, I didn’t read that because it isn’t happening.

I’ve resigned myself to the belief that these boards attract the “special” fans for the most part.

With very vanilla offensives and defensive which at the end of won't really tell you anything.

It's a break in a long and pretty much boring offseason

God help the Masters going against GT spring game...should be a bunch of tickets available for the Masters that Friday.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

You people totally miss the point. Tech gets virtually no coverage for the spring games to begin with. With every decent sports writer and announcer in Augusta for the Masters, who, other than Ken Sugiura, is going to bother with covering the Tech spring game? And for those people who ALWAYS have obligations on the Easter weekend, they will not be there either. I doubt there will be 10,000 at the game on that date.

I actually went last year because I could watch two baseball games & spring game on Fri and Sat.

These tickets come with accommodations at the humble abode of @Supersizethatorder-mutt as well lol

Don’t like having it on Friday night, but with it coinciding with a home baseball weekend, I will probably make it up for the weekend so I can catch both baseball and the spring game.
