[QUOTE="ClydeBrick, post: 37647, member: 1329"] This past year was the 1st UGAg game I had attended since the 80's. Sat in the upper North - I thought that we were in Athens. Oh, the whining - at least until the end of the second quarter! Could not really see the West stands from 110 but the East stands looked like the CL seats were inhabited by Tech fans, the rest- no so much. Heck, the west side of the student section of the South stands was nearly empty. Here it was - the "biggest" home game in terms of tradition for GT and red & black was everywhere. Certainly not something that would impress a recruit. I wonder what % of Season Tickets/packages are sold to UGAg fans each odd year just for that one game with the rest of the tickets for that seat going to Stubhub. I remember some games back in the middle 80's against SEC opponents that seemed like away games for Tech because of all the visitor fans. Maybe the UGAg games were like that back then too. Then we made the stadium smaller in 1985. I guess that the 1990 NC started the call to enlarge the seating at Grant Field. It is nice to have the seats when we need them but wow does it look bad when we don't. When my youngest kid started at the Institute and march in the band I was drawn back to the Flats for the first time in 20+ years. I have bought tickets from the GTAA and from Stubhub. It kills me that the GTAA wants their "face value" for games like Elon, A A&M, Presbyterian when the seat next to it is 50% less - and unsold - on Stubhub. Wouldn't selling more tickets for less $ for games like these bring in more butts? Butts that should be Tech supporters as generally only local people would be attending? It would bring in a little more revenue, possibly hook a fan and would not cost the GTAA more as all the costs with providing the game are fixed. Looking at actually buying some season tickets this year - cheap ones. Once this last kid gets out in a few years I should have more spending money - the increase in tuition/housing/book prices has been unbelievable. I hope I don't jinx us. [/QUOTE]
