No need for beer, just have a lax bag check and no wanding for the supporters sectionNear visitors and the end zone visiting team warns up. I guess asking for beer sales there is out.

I wasn't aware they were banned. WTH did they do that? When the south stand were full, those guys made it fun. I agree with leaving them there though if it were to become a "supporters section". My fear is, however, that there aren't currently enough people who would even buy cheap seats there. I hope I am wrong.They still need to leave 10-12 seats up front for the GoldFellas. They were banned from the north end zone a number of years back.
It's pretty lax already. I have only been wanded for the upper east 3 times this year, and not at all last Saturday. I never have a bag, so I don't know about that.No need for beer, just have a lax bag check and no wanding for the supporters section
My mind went in the wrong direction of supporters section. But, now that I have the real answer as to what its in, I love the idea.
And don't tell me that they can't tear down the West stands and rebuild them in one season. Texas A&M went from this:View attachment 7375
To this:View attachment 7376
in just one season. Complete tear down and rebuild of pressbox side of stadium in 8 months and under budget.
I was hoping that when we announced a partnership with the Benz that we would play one full season there while BDS@HGF underwent a major rebuild. I'm hoping that with AI2020, a good portion of it, after the new Edge building, will go towards stadium renovations. Our displays and rust and the halfa**ed tribute to Castlebury are just pathetic.
I like the idea of a supporters section. I reviewed the website for Atlanta United. Well done.
Curious. What do these acronyms mean? Tifo and Capo??
Even though we lost to UGA, I had one of the best times/experience ever.
Thank you staff, security, cheerleaders, the band and of the course the coaching staff and players. We will be good going forward.
Our gold helmet and unis shimmered in the afternoon light.
Never wear Black!
Never wear all Blue!
Up with the White and Gold!

I like what you're suggesting but you're using almost two extreme cases in regards to available funding mechanisms that allowed one to happen and one to wish could happen.
All you need is money to attain a completion date and a creative planner to make the claim that something came in "under budget".
Not to mention that Texas A&M is drowning in oil money. I think I won't live long enough to see BDS modernized much beyond what we've got. Meanwhile, Alabama is spending $100M to update their stadium, UT is spending $300M, etc. etc.
I said this about 8 months ago. That we need a section that wont sit down and wont shut up.
There is an old saying that you cannot legislate morality. I think you cannot command emotion and drama either, especially at games. It happens organically.
What bothers me most about Tech Athletics is the lack of engagement across the state. In Alabama for example, EVERY COUNTY has an affiliate of either Auburn or Alabama working the local community … fundraisers, speakers at high schools, alumni clubs, fan clubs, etc. FSU makes more money from the Seminole Club than they do selling football tickets.
If Tech engages the state rather than ignores it, I think a lot of problems would take care of themselves. Sadly, I know more Tech graduates in Shanghai than Savannah.
But I know first hand that 9/10 if someone is willing to take the 1st step thousands will follow. Section. 101 is first to stand up and be loud on third down. Or on important drives. We have definitely gotten other groups into it as they will look over at us and decide "what the hell, might as well join".
Hire a new PA announcer (Pat McAfee type) and put him in the center of the supporters section so we can school him on the right way to rev up a crowd
I'm going off what my daughter said. She's been a Gold"Fella" for the last couple of years.I wasn't aware they were banned. WTH did they do that?
