In the 21 years I have held tickets it seems to vary quite a bit from none to the full complement. My season tickets are nearly directly across from the visitor band, I have to say when FAMU was here that was the loudest bunch EVER. They would crank it up during every break and blow our hair back on the other side. Well let’s face it if it was not for their band they probably would not have football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true and yet they both not only survive but flourish now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like GOOOOLD (and green) Posted August 20, 2018 Group: Member Topic Count: 3 Content Count: 480 Reputation: 34 Days Won: 0 Joined: 02/05/2015 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The Varsity food is terrible and the 'experience' will leave you saying meh. That is why no one ever returns a second time unless they have a friend/family member who insists on going with them. There are several better options that are walkable to Bobby Dodd Stadium.

For people that only go once every 5 or 6 years it is a cool thing to do. May or may not do it when we go up for this game but would definitely do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some Cookout restaurants here in the Atlanta area which are FANTASTIC ... especially the milkshakes. There's one on the west side of GT campus, off Northside Dr. That's a MUCH better place to go than Varsity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, it was good. Going to go again next fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their is no reason for them to not at least dominate their division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
