Gameday Atmosphere
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The atmosphere was pretty good at the home opener.
The crowd? 45,706 — not bad considering it was Jacksonville State.
Tech officials said a couple days ago they expect Saturday’s crowd to approach 50,000. (Capacity at Bobby Dodd is 55,000).
That total includes no more than 5,000 fans from Mississippi State.
Given that I’m new on the beat, I’d like to know what you think of the gameday atmosphere.
What do you like about it, what don’t you like, and what could be done to enhance it?
Specifically, what more could Tech do to draw sellout crowds, regardless of the opponent?
