Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field

[coit]

The more I think about it, I would have rather it been named Hyundai Stadium at Historic Grant Field

Uh, no.

Negative. Bobby Dodd is much more prestigious than Grant. The Grant name was also only applied originally because of a donation.

We did the reverse approach with Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

And for some reason we have the John Lewis Student Center now, named after a guy with no affiliation with GT at all…

That's because the McCamish family donated $15M specifically to renovate the colliseum.

Someone needs to pay to remove John Lewis’ name from campus then.

I saw that last weekend on the renovated student center.. Why did that happen!? I know he was a Civil Rights leader but he had nothing to do with GT as far as I know.

The Lexus was there last year at least. The Hyundai in the SE corner was put there last week.

I gathered from other postst that the Lexus had been there for some time, but I never noticed it until last Saturday.

As far as I can tell, we were looking for a name for the renovated student center right around the time Lewis died and the George Floyd/BLM mania was at its peak, so that’s where the culture tide carried us.

Thanks.. I wished we would stay out of politics Campus wise... right or left. Unless he donated to us, or did something for the school via the State, I'd take his name off.

"Welcome to Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. Where you can enjoy the game from the Lexus Suite and cheer on the football team as they are led onto the field by Ford."

You know, I thought our biggest problem was finding a consistent shade of gold. Turns out our consistency is inconsistency!
