I love BDS just as much as anybody, but this is about money and recruiting and it will help with both.

Anything out of the norm gathers publicity for the program. Publicity = hype and exposure. Hype and exposure impresses recruits. If we get the hype and exposure and add in a big win, this has $$$ and croots written all over it.

You guys act like losing one home game is the end of the world, but it's all about the end game. Shut up, strap in, and enjoy the ride.

Also, I'm sure the majority of the folks on this board are going to games, so sure you look at this as losing a home game, BUT we aren't filling up BDS by ourselves and Tech fans (and non-Tech fans) who aren't season ticket regulars will see this as a positive thing, so again suck it up.

Are we really this stupid?

The first thing that's going to come from it is UGA is going to demand all GT home games be played at the Benz, while all UGA home games are still played in Athens. Then FSU, Miami, ND, and Clemson will do the same. Then the only games in Bobby Dodd will be Wake Forest or whatever. Then we will forever become a whore to the football factories.

So.

Dumb.

Dumbest thing I have ever heard.
Lol. Can you be more dramatic? Way to jump to the extreme. This UGA scenario will never happen, nor will the rest.

Did they release a time for the press conference and or a stream of it?

Gonna wait for specifics to react.

As one who thought the notion of uniform brand had little effect on recruits and who is now being convinced otherwise, if playing a marquee game here and there, against a big time opponent, in a premier venue helps recruiting--we should at least think about it.

I need both end zones and midfield logo to look like BDS. I need gold lights outside painting the dome. Make it so when ppl see it they start to associate it with us and not the SECCG. Or Bama's second home. I really don't get the complaints here. öööö ND. We are supposed to still hate them, right? Bring more fans. Give us all your $$$. Get your ass kicked and GTFO. ACCN will be all over this game and give us extra exposure. I don't even know the full details but every non-GT fan friend I've told about this potential deal has thought it was awesome.

Students will definitely all jump on a scooter for a 15 minute ride!

Without the big games on campus,the buzz and energy on campus will be low. It will be harder to draw students to the game. MBS is not a novelty anymore.
FTFY. I made the walk last year when we had the Clemson game followed by an Atlanta United game back to back and it's not a bad walk from BDS to MBS.

I hate, hate, HATE MB STADIUM. The video board is stupid, a gimmick. Video boards need to be like at Carolina Panthers stadium. Huge boards at each end of the stadium. Acoustics at MB suck. Walk areas suck. The roof is like if you bought a car with a sunroof and called it a convertible. Plus, it looks like 75% of the building is roof and roof structure. The stadium bowl is unremarkable.
I love that the video board is up out of the way. Those who want to mostly ignore it can easily do so. It looks incredible too.

Jerry World is the design that sucks. That monster board eats up all the air space and manages to make a huge space feel much smaller. MBS has that expansive feel that is just thrilling.

Carolina stadium is an outdated piece of crap by comparison.

You are an idiot. What you say is not even possible. We control our home schedule, as does everyone else. Have you had a recent brain surgery?
