Also....UGA started a policy several years back that they charge exactly the same as we charge their fans at Tech. We jack up the price for the game each year at home, so the Tech tickets at UGA are priced higher than any other regular seat in the stadium. They do this for all of the teams they play every year.

west virginia fans are the worst in person.

i hate georgia. everything about them.

idgaf about west virginia. they burn sofas and rv's.

wvu fans will throw bottles, batteries, change etc from the top level of the stadium into the opposing crowd below. it's one thing to hate your rival and hell, even bark at them.

it's another thing to risk somebody's life or eyesight or whatever just randomly, just because....

Clemson visitor seats are much worse than VPISU.
My VPI ticket this year is in 501 - upper deck behind the end zone. That’s a change.

My Clemson ticket last year was lower deck in the corner of the end zone, which was also a change from the “above the blimp” seats in the past.

That is different. I wonder why they changed?

I’ve been heckled by vendors in the stands at Miami. That place sucks.

Maybe they did a reseating or something? I can't remember when they built those stands - are they new since 2016?

I don't really care all that much where I sit at a game - the view is tolerable just about anywhere. The only place where it's been particularly bad was down low at the end of the horseshoe at UNC - you couldn't even see the other side of the field due to the crown. If you're reasonably high up, just about anywhere is OK. Usually, I just enjoy sitting with the Tech people and the band because the road crowds are much more into the game, engaged, and excited than the home crowd.

I went to the game at Clemson in 2015. We were up in the nosebleeds and it was like sitting in a creek with all the rain.

2017 was miserable - just a steady, cold rain from the time we stepped out of the car to the time we got back in the car, pretty much.

I don't really remember much about 2015. The other big rain game up there was during the Gailey/Nix regime. Absolute monsoon, the hardest rain I can remember sitting in. Water was flowing down the upper deck like a stream. We had a good running back, but decided to try to sling the ball around in the driving downpour.

Never been to a game in Morgantown, but I've been to West Virginia and don't find this surprising.

Had just been elected U.S. President the last Ga. Tech game I missed in athens, Lord willing 2018 won't be an exception. 21 of the last 23, 2018 will be 22 of 24 in athens. 44 of last 46 Grant Field or Sanford & Son.

I have been to every uga game since 2013 which is not that impressive a streak. I guess I just don’t feel confident of having a good time if I go this year.
