Thursday Night Home Games

[panther42]

Hey all! I was just thinking back about some of the best GT games I have been to, and with the exception of the 08 VT game almost all of them were Thursday night games. So I was wondering how difficult it would be to tailor our schedule to have 3,4, or possibly 5 of these a year? I know that Fridays would not really work because of how big HS football is in the state, but I feel this would be great for exposure, and lets be honest....is there any stadium in the country that looks better than BDS under the lights?

Can't wait for this thread to take shape. But don't worry, I get the joke and I like you for it. Now just sit back and watch.

I like having 1 a year. I would not like having anymore than 1 a year.

Code Red, I repeat, Code Red. Battle Stations. Defcon 1.

so one of the main reasons I'd like more is because noon kickoffs suck. There isn't enough time to get properly sauced, and what do you cook...breakfast? lunch? brunch???

We could join the MAC next time conference realignment happens and play 3 Tuesday night games and an occasional Wednesday prime time game on espn plus.

I love Thursday night home games as well, and night games in general at Bobby Dodd tend to be the most energetic. I think one Thursday night game a year is as much as is reasonable, but I would love to have more Saturday night games!! Maybe with ACCN we'll get more night games? Also winning would get us more night games.

I never thought about the ACCN night games. Hell Vandy plays multiple night games on the SECN!

I like the Monday idea. If we could get a split 3 mondays and 3 thursdays i'd be pretty happy. Plus think about catching clemson on that short week! I like our chances!!!

Whatever gets Georgia Tech football more national exposure

Being 3 hours away and running a business, noway I could make more than one a year.

We are already the home of ESPN Thursday Night Football, why keep going?

Nope. If we had 3 Monday games and 3 Thursday games, the ACC schedulers would make us play the Thursday games 3 days after the Monday games, but give our opponents a bye week before and let them have a week and a half to prepare.

I love the Thursday night games but getting to the games is an absolute nightmare. Also, I live in the metro so getting to the game on Thursday night is possible for me but it is nearly impossible for a lot of the fans because they live far away.

CPJ doesn’t coach here anymore so I think this will change but I share your frustration.

I feel ya. I have always enjoyed the Thursday night games but its a little over 3 hours for me to drive to ATL. that puts me at home in time to shower and get ready for work friday lol

I will still be in my seats on Thursdays but I couldn't handle many of them.
