Against Eastern Michigan. Stadium was 25% empty.

Walked around the stadium and was surprised how much of an upgrade it would need to match BDS@GF. Man the rows were tight. Getting up to get concessions was almost impossible. But pretty good view from 30 yrd line 58 the row.

All tickets outside Club Level were $25. Club/box level were added to the stadium last and put on top. Cant see a thing you're so high up.

Not much tailgating. 4pm game streets didn't begin to get busy until 1pm.

All/many of the female students left their seats and went back into the breeze ways to chat and text. It was like a sardine can trying to get through. They weren't really into the game, needless to say.

Muschamps offense is too vanilla for them to be a top 10 team. The UF fans must hate watching that offense after having watched Sourrier and Meyer for all those years.

I don't know what kind of conclusions you can draw about fans not being "really into the game" during a 65-0 blowout.
 
South Carolina's stadium is a ööööhole. Horrible concessions. Terrible bathrooms. Awful location

Tennessee used to be awful about a decade ago, but they have invested money and made it much better.

FSU looks nice from the outside, but the facade hides a tinkertoy stadium when you enter the turnstiles. Bathrooms are an afterthought. Concessions impossible.

We have it pretty good at BDS.
 
BDS is great. Where outdated, it has character. Agree about the thoughts on other stadiums that are widely thought of as better.

Interesting that you said no tailgating. There were tons of people tailgating when we were there last November. I mention that only because I'd imagine fans were no more excited about Georgia Southern than about EMU. Not to mention they were pretty much done at that point.
 
Just out of curiosity, why did you go to the UF game instead of the Tech game that wasn't much farther away?
 
Food. We need good food. At least there has been mild improvement.
 
if BDS was full every game and as loud as VT no other stadium would be considered better, just bigger

the primary reason why stadiums have lore is the fans not the actual structure. Most of the SEC stadiums are huge, but really bad facilities or run down in areas. I have been to almost all of em and the GT facilities are on avg much nicer

Unfortunately at GT we just can't seem to get that loyal 40,000 season ticket holders we need to get that environment....we dance around 24,000
