Ticket to game plus Kevlar vest. Seems reasonable to me.

Bobby Dodd right?

....or, is b/c Charlotte is soo much safer than ATL? ATL is no poster child for crime, but recent statistics say there are 20 cities that are worse to be in.

big cities. To each his own I guess, but I think Atlanta is a great city. I would much rather live there than in a small town.

One of the great cities of Georgia ??

Crime and traffic do not make a great city. Reason

the exodus to the suburbs.

Huh? Because Atlanta is a big city?


Jun 20, 2018, 4:50 PM [ in reply to Re: GT is charging ATL Clemson Club members $300 ]

You do know that Atlanta has a pretty low crime rate compared to most other big cities, right?

And the crime Atlanta does have is not generally in Midtown, but more south downtown.

Agreed. I lived in Midtown for 5 years, worked there for 8


Jun 20, 2018, 7:48 PM

and I have yet to ever had a problem. I'm not saying you shouldn't be on guard, but I'm on guard everywhere I go. Honestly, I'd rather walk through Midtown at 11pm on a Friday night than walk through some place like Rosman, NC.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree

It's crazy the way some people talk crime in cities as if they are getting ready to walk through a war zone

I've lived off MLK next to Oakland Cemetery near the area that was formerly Capitol Homes for 3 years, which is an area that may be considered "scary" to outsiders...But I've never once felt afraid for my safety. I walk home from friend's houses & bars by myself on a regular basis. If you don't like seeing homeless people, then sure, Its not for you. But they are harmless

Now, 15-20 years ago and this probably wouldn't be the case. Atlanta isn't the same city it was in the 80s-90s, and even much of the 2000s...But I think some of that reputation still lingers

Where in the world are you finding kevlar vests for $300? Local enforcement needs to know!

Then don’t buy them and get them for $30.00 on stubhub or


Jun 20, 2018, 1:48 PM

For $15.00 outside the stadium.

Jun 20, 2018, 2:36 PM

For realz.

The only games they've sold out at Bobby Dodd anytime in the recent past were all Atlanta United games.

I hope they stashed that free cash, because the Yellowjackets aren't exciting anyone under PJ, and haven't for a decade.

Navy runs a better triple option than GT and has for quite a few years now.

There will only be around 275 GT fans there.


Jun 20, 2018, 2:41 PM

Getting a cheap ticket should be pretty easy.

yep the most pathetic nerdy fan base ever.

Why would they buy them from GT? That game rarely sells


Jun 20, 2018, 3:23 PM

out anyway.

Way back in the '60s, GaTech was the very first


Jun 20, 2018, 4:41 PM

away game my folks allowed me to attend without adult supervision---I think I was 15. Two other friends and I stayed the weekend at the old Techwood Motel which then was right on the North Ave ramp and we ate 3 meals a day at The Varsity.....and although it only took us 1 & 1/2 hrs to get there, when we walked in the door to register, the entire staff said almost in unison: "CALL YOUR PARENTS!!"

We lost that game---as was the Tiger's history in those years when every game was played in Atlanta...and I learned how some visiting fans are treated at Bobby Dodd...a lesson about GaTech fans I've never forgotten, and I once took an opportunity to repay (mostly) at a GaTech/Clemson game in DV to the upraised eyebrows of my wife....I certainly hope the 2 adult males who bore the brunt of my payback remembered the little story I told them at the end of that game about how 3 young teenagers were treated at their place all those years ago.....

But whether they remembered or not, they certainly noticed how serious I was with the comments made during the game.

That's not what my email from the Atlanta Clemson Club said.


Jun 20, 2018, 4:57 PM

Per the email from them yesterday, it is $68 per person.

I know several people in the GT Athletic Dept. and Ticket Office and have been to a good many games at Grant Field, both Clemson and others. You really need to be careful buying tickets there outside the stadium as there are bunches of counterfeits. The biggest area for fake tickets is around the Varsity. Be careful who you buy from.

I’d pay way more than any donor level if there was a basic IQ test and a “How to Google” test.
