Future Games at MBS

I don't mind doing one if it means a few extra million in the bank.

Who is going to pay for the staff upgrades and extra support personnel?

It isn't like the Clemson games have been much of a home game anyways. Move it to the Benz, get that $$$ and reinvest in the program.

Both are supposed to be our home games. So if either happens there had better be another neutral site game for the return trip.

I’d be okay with making Clemson/GT an annual neutral-site game at MBS. Would give ACC a marquee connection to the stadium and the city. Still be an easy trip for Tech fans. And might attract more people in Atlanta.

As already said in here a lot, öööö giving up home games for money. Especially the biggest home game of the season.

Clemson would never give up a home game.

Agreed. Once upon a time we played all our away games in Atlanta. Let's turn MBS into a 'away game' option for teams that want more exposure in ATL.

There is zero chance of that happening now. Things have changed too much since back then.
 
Maybe CGC is giving 20,000 tickets to local HS football players.

Clemson games don't fill up BDS. It would be rediculous to move it to MBS.
 
If neutral site, OK. If this is the home-game-horses*** Alabama tried to pull before they ducked out of our series, then no thank you.
 
Coaches to pay, juice to procure, bagmen to service. We need the $$$

The problem is when we're talking about conference games, there is no true neutral site game. In an 8-game conference schedule, it means one team will only get three games at their home stadium that year. If you do it twice with the same two teams (or annually like dwags-gata), you can sort of offset the unfairness of it, but if it's a one-off, it's basically a lost home game for one of the teams, like BC in Ireland a few years back.

It could work with Notre Dame if they decided to push back the conventional home-and-home.

Notre Dame at Soldier Field would be a lot of fun. Would definitely save up for that one.

For me it would be tough to beat Notre Dame at Notre Dame, and it's not like Tech gets the chance to play there very often.

I don't get the drive to make the college game more and more like the pros, whether it's moving big games to NFL stadiums, downplaying the band in favor of PA music, giant video boards everywhere, etc.

The best part about college football is the pageantry and atmosphere, and it seems we're eroding that little by little.

Don’t get me wrong, playing at Notre Dame is great as well.
 
So far I've been to NFL, college and high school games in the Heinous Anus and it is just flat out an awful place to watch a football game on a variety of levels. BDS can be magical. MBS is öööö. öööö that. Parking, tailgating etc... all of it is worse. The actual game experience sucks, there are scant few places to see in game stats but there is no shortage of advertising. It's probably the worst stadium I've been to in this regard. No thanks.
