Bobby Dodd Stadium at Grant Field

The GOOD — Nice looking stadium and great sound system,
The BAD: The spacing between each row is ridiculously tight. It was almost impossible for anyone to get in and out. Just seemed tighter than most stadiums. No alcohol sold inside stadium, so get your spirits in your system before you arrive.
The worst is they beat our Noles!

Seen Duke @ Georgia Tech. Although GT lost and it rained in the 3^rd Quarter. The atmosphere was exciting, loud, and full of adrenaline. The stadium was beautiful and the band performance was great. The staff there is very fast and nice. I will be back. Go GT!!!

My Boyfriend and I went to see the Rolling Stones at this stadium. We were in some of the highest seats up possible which was still okay because it was open and I felt like I could breathe. Something that they could work on to make it easier to navigate is having a map of the stadium on the walls through out the long halls and stair cases to help you get to your seats in case you get lost. But they do have a wonderful venue and I would love to go to another concert here. I dont really like football so I dont have much to say about that subject.

Let’s see. Nice skyline backdrop, 55k seats with not a bad view in the house, unique food choices (i.e. chick-​fil-​a, Zaxby’s and Mexican), usually good football, well maintained field, good history and tradition.
Parking isn’t bad, it’s just the fact that it’s Midtown Atlanta where you have to be careful where you park to not get towed or ticketed. If you aren’t a tailgater, take marta to North Ave and take .5 mile walk to the stadium.
Tailgating is great. GT has added a crap ton of green space to it’s campus but you gotta find parking of course.

I’m not a Georgia Tech girl but I truly enjoyed my experience here at Bobby Dodd. It’s easy to pull for the home team when going to a game is such a pleasant experience!
Don’t come here for the intense atmosphere, but instead expect a unique stadium in an urban setting. The view of the city is beautiful. The stadium is small and pitched in a way so that even your nosebleed seats are awesome. My husband and I were literally all the way at the top and had no trouble seeing.
They have Chick fil A in the concession area– that’s worth two stars alone!
Another star for Georgia Tech’s fight song– voted number one this year! Because it’s catchy, fun, and mentions alcohol twice. Does your fight song do that? Probably not.
This is also probably the least drunk stadium I’ve been to. I wasn’t near the student section though. There are two student sections and they seemed like fun.
I could easily see my husband I and I coming to at least one GT game a year, with this gem of a stadium.

Bobby Dodd Stadium, home of the Georgia Tech Ramblin’ Wreck!
I’ve been to a couple of games at BD, but neither was particularly good. The first was several years ago when Mississippi State played Georgia Tech. MSU was poorly coached at the time by Sylvester Croom (a great guy, but terrible head coach). After a 70 yard run to start the game by Anthony Dixon, the drive stalled. The holder on the field goal try lined up 5 yards behind the center and… the kick was blocked. GT rolled that day.
The second game I attended was between a decent GT team and a terrible Duke team. Not much to see there.
My brother-​in-​law went to Tech and my father-​in-​law is also a big fan of theirs. That’s a stark contrast to my mother-​in-​law and wife’s loyalty to Georgia. The rivalry game is interesting with that group.
The stadium is the oldest college football stadium in the country. It also has some very cool traditions. They have an old car that they drive around the field – The Ramblin’ Wreck. They also do a little dance in the stands in the 4^th quarter to the tune of an old Budweiser ad. I had a blast doing this with the fans even though my alma mater was getting creamed at that point.
Bobby Dodd Stadium is rich in tradition and is a fun experience. The facility is older and it’s a bit of a nightmare to locate your seat if you’re a newbie. Ask for help! It’s a neat place though and provides a really cool view of Atlanta.

A REAL ATLANTA EXPERIENCE. I am a season ticket holder for GT football because I love the in town experience. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan and love college football. Obviously I ain’t getting to ton of games in Ann Arbor.
I always buy my seats on the west side, because I have sat on the east side and do not like cooking in the sun.
I enjoy the walk to the field on Fraternity Row, the entrance of the bad… anything to do with cheerleaders…

Greatest Football Stadium in the land. Beware does not sell beer. But having the greatest football team in the world makes up for it.

I’m going to be biased as a Tech alum. I love this stadium. From my freshman year in the marching band where Tech went 1 – 10 and all we could do was mock our team to the current lack of any ability to beat the U (sic)GA dawgs. I still love this stadium.
The bathrooms are clean and the food is quick.
The best seat in the house is the front row of the upper deck. Get there — close enough to the main action to see stuff without glass and no one in front of you. Love it.
Up with the white and gold.

Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field («The Flats»). To me, this is the best football stadium in the world, but I’m biased, of course.
Today marks the 106^th meeting between Georgia Tech and Georgia and Tech’s last home game of the 2011 season, the school’s 119^th year playing football. The stadium was constructed in 1913 and has remained in use ever since. That’s why «Historic» is in the name. Bobby Dodd Stadium is the oldest on-​campus stadium in NCAA Division I-​A football.
I still remember the first game I attended, September 2, 2000 vs. Central Florida. I was a lowly freshman living on East Campus, next to the stadium. I’ve attended games every season since then, 11 years and counting.
I’ve been there for big wins…
10÷28÷06 vs. Miami (30 – 23) — this win pretty much punched our ticket to the 2006 ACC title game
10÷17÷09 vs. Virginia Tech (28 – 23) — we stormed the field and afterwards, went on to win the 2009 ACC championship
…and gut-​wrenching losses.
9÷9÷00 vs. Florida St. (26 – 21) — we led in the 4^th quarter against the then-​No. 2 team in the nation
9÷29÷01 vs. Clemson (47 – 44) — Woody Dantzler marched into the end zone untouched to end the game in OT
10÷6÷05 vs. NC State (17 – 14) — game on the line, Reggie Ball’s short pass intended for Calvin Johnson was intercepted in the end zone
I got to experience ESPN College GameDay in 2006 when Notre Dame faced us in Atlanta. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing many future NFL players don the white and gold including the aforementioned future pro hall-​of-​famer Calvin Johnson (a.k.a. «Megatron»).
Bobby Dodd Stadium and its setting are unique. Where else in college football do you have a magnificent view of a downtown skyline? Yes, the stadium does look like it’s been piecemealed together, but I think the architects did a very good job considering the limited space on-​campus inside the city. It gives BDS @ HGF some of its charm.
I’ll admit, game day parking and traffic can be a pain, but tailgating is fun, especially with new greenspace available on campus. Yellow Jacket Alley is a tradition not to be missed. Everyone has to experience at least once in their lives.
The stadium can hold 55,000 fans. Not too big and not too small. The best places to sit are the West stands (because the sun is not hitting your face) and the Upper North stands (excellent Madden-​like view of the action and great view of the downtown Atlanta skyline).
Bobby Dodd Stadium is a popular choice for ESPN’s Thursday night football coverage. The Yellow Jackets have been on ESPN Thursday night football for 19 consecutive years. Impressive.
There’s nothing else like watching the Ramblin’ Wreck lead the team onto the field.
Georgia Tech: 4 national championships, 14 consecutive bowl appearances.

«I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva engineer!»

Go Jackets! It’s a beautiful old stadium right in the middle of the city. The Georgia Dome might be downtown but the surrounding area can’t compare to the Tech campus. Solid options for eats include Petro’s chili & chips (Frito Pie!) and their orange iced tea. You can’t beat the fried fruit pies from Mercier as well.

Walking around Georgia Tech on the last home game day, I kept asking myself the following questions:
Where were all the obnoxious drunk people? Where was the smell of stale Natty Light and urine? Where were the mountains of garbage made up of discarded party platters, half tapped kegs, and smoking charcoal briquettes?
It soon became clear: Toto, we’re not in Athens anymore.
Game day at Bobby Dodd is downright pleasant. Happy, cordial, respectful fans, clean bathrooms, decent concessions, and an intimate stadium with fabulous views of downtown and midtown helped make this an experience I could see repeating. My game day experience at Bobby Dodd made me see how people could actually bring small children to a college football game. Even the scene on fraternity row was positively tame, as I did not see a single person shotgunning a beer, and kickoff wasn’t even until 12:30! It didn’t hurt that the Jackets won an easy victory over Kansas.
There was lots of easily accessible, reasonably priced parking, and it looked like if you got there early enough you could even snag a street spot for cheap/​free. We arrived less than two hours before kick-​off, and there was virtually no traffic, and we had no difficulty navigating the campus.
Based on my first GT home game, this bulldawg alumna may be donning gold and white a bit more often (except on the weekend after Thanksgiving, of course!).

Today marks the start of my 13^th season of Georgia Tech football. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but I did grow up in Alabama, not Georgia, so cut me some slack. Of course, this also makes me biased for loving this stadium, the oldest continuously used stadium in Division I football.
From the very first game that I attended at this stadium, I was impressed by the location. How many other schools have such an awesome skyline view behind them? That’s why we get at least one Thursday night ESPN game a season. Also, it’s pretty convenient to a MARTA train station, so it’s easily accessible if you don’t want to deal with parking and you’ve got others bringing the tailgating supplies.
As others have mentioned — it’s big enough to be a serious stadium, but small enough that even the upper upper seats have a decent view of the action. Also, there’s a good view of the video screen from all the seats, and enough side boards with scores and stats that it’s easy to keep up with the action without having to crane your neck. They’ve improved access and cleanliness over the years. The concessions could still use some updating, but that’s probably because I sit on the East side, and it’s the rich alumni on the West side that get the fancier choices.
Go Jackets!

I love coming to see a GaTech game in the fall! I have lived in the Atlanta area since 2008 and this year will be my second time getting season passes for the Yellow Jackets. I’m by no means a «die hard» GaTech fan, but I love college football and love supporting my home team (ok haters, that’s right I said it, I root for yellow and blue NOT red and black!!).
The season tickets are pretty reasonably priced and it’s always cool to get them for a year that GaTech plays UGA at home. You can always get single tickets to the game and chances are, if you decide at the last minute that you want to go watch, you can grab tickets the day of. The stadium doesn’t have a bad seat in it – but the stadium bench seats are SUPER close together so expect to get cozy. There’s a little overpass that’s above the locker room entrances so you can stand on it and watch the players run out to the field (fun to do at least once). Night games are especially fun!
There are a TON of bathrooms throughout the stadium, and as long as you don’t try to use one right at the start of half-​time you should never have a wait.
I’ve never attempted to drive and park — why bother when Marta has a stop just a couple blocks away? Take Marta to the North Ave. stop and enjoy your brisk walk to the stadium. BONUS — you best plan to stop at The Varsity for a hotdog first (please see my review for this place, which includes tips for stopping here during a GaTech game day) — and maybe even again afterward?
They do a quick purse check but you can definitely sneak some little snacks in if you’re in the mood. I think my favorite game-​day memory was watching a couple of girls whip out a gallon ziplock baggie filled with fried chicken to scarf down during the game… genius, really. But also go ahead and support the school by throwing a few bucks at concessions (all run by students), it’s all good food and sodas come in plastic GaTech keepsakes.
Let’s goooo Jackets! :)

A friend and I came here for the Georgia tech Vs. Miami game on November 13^th and we were very impressed by this venue. The stadium holds about 50,000 people (I was told) and is very easy to reach from the North Avenue MARTA Station. There were stewards posted everywhere to help you find you seat and there were information stations set up if you had any other questions. Any time we spoke to the staff there, they were very friendly and had all of the information we needed. The men’s bathrooms were also very clean, which isn’t always the case at a sports stadium.
Another feature that I liked were their concessions, they had concession stands located on each level so you didn’t have to make this epic trek when you wanted something to eat or drink. I also bought a game program which was of very high quality in my opinion and only cost $ 5, which I thought was pretty surprising given the outstanding quality of the book. My friend and I are Miami fans and we sat with a bunch of Georgia Tech fans and they were all very nice people, which isn’t always the case at away games also.
All in all we had a great experience here. The weather was fantastic and the Georgia Tech knows how to put on a good football game. I plan to go back here to watch some more games in the future.

Love the stadium in the middle of the city– I had a seat with a great view of the Atlanta skyline. Not too big, so it has a more intimate feel with 1000’s of your closest friends and you have great sightlines from anywhere in the stadium. The bleacher seats throughout the stadium are a little tight and uncomfortable, and the ramps that lead to the upper level is great exercise if that’s what you’re looking for.
I won’t give away my secret for parking, but as with any urban sports venue, parking can be a bit of a pain… but it’s just down the street from North Ave Marta stop so public transportation is an option. Not much around in terms of food options, other than the Varsity and some pizza joints along Spring St. Tailgating and other vendors set up on the side opposite to North Ave side, if that’s what you’re looking for.

Watching football at Bobby Dodd Stadium makes me feel All The Way Turned Up ! This Stadium is one of the reasons I fell in love with football. While you’re sitting in the stadium it feels like you are in this secret spot nestled deep in the city. I love staring out at the wonderful Atlanta skyline. I always look forward to night games at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The view at night is just amazing. I’ve been to a lot of different football stadiums over the years and nothing can compare to a night game here.
When we go to the games I always have to get a little Papa John’s Pizza, popcorn and a coke. Papa John’s Pizza always tastes better when eaten at a football game. I love to munch down and watch a good game. I didn’t go to Tech, but I always enjoy watching all the die hard fans get all wound up. It’s cool to be able to tailgate right in the city. We love pulling out the grill and having a few drinks with friends on game day.

Of course I love it here! I went to Georgia Tech and this has been my second home in the fall for the past 15 years (yes, I am sure I am biased). But, with that said, I do think this is a great place to watch a football game. It is a big stadium but not so large that you can ever get really far away from the action. My seats are on the second level on the Upper East Side and they are great — from up there I get an excellent view of the entire field and can really see the plays setting up. But, I have also sat in lower seats and they are great, too. I have even sat in the upper end zone section and it really was not bad. The field itself is also very well-​maintained.
My favorite thing about Bobby Dodd Stadium (other than our tailgating RVs where the beer and food are) is that it is right in the city. I love seeing the Atlanta skyline when I am in the stadium, especially at night games. Night games here are just dreamy.
They used to have concerts here but not for a long time. I saw Jimmy Buffett and Pink Floyd, and the Rolling Stone played here, too. That was a lot of fun but they haven’t done it for quite a few years.
I feel it is worth going to a game here even if you are not a Tech fan — it’s right in Midtown, you can take MARTA, and it’s just fun. Go Jackets!

I might be a little biased, being a Tech fan and all, but I still believe this is one of the best sports tickets in town. You should come out this Thursday and watch Virginia Tech lose second week in a row. Just for kicks, Big Boi from OutKast is performing at halftime!
Tech tickets are not hard to find since most of the grads leave the state after college. Tech also has some great deals that include food, parking and tickets for 4 under $ 130.

There’s a reason why ESPN gives Georgia Tech a Thursday night game every season: by night the stadium has one of the best views in college football. ESPN loves those establishing shots with the Atlanta skyline lit up in the background, and Bobby Dodd delivers. Oh yeah, the ESPN staff gets to run to the Cheetah after the game too… but I digress.
The stadium itself has undergone so many additions and renovations that it’s nothing like the original. It’s not the biggest or the best stadium, but the views are good from almost any spot and it’s convenient to downtown with MARTA and parking over at Technology Square. It’s not too hard to get tickets to see a game whether you’re a fan of Tech or the visiting team. I’ve been to a few, typically to see who Tech is playing since I grew up in a UVA family.
