"Bobby Dodd Stadium @Hyundai Field".

A chance for GT to earn some bucks from corporate sponsorship 'cuz they sure aren't earning any from the sheer number of fans not coming through their turnstiles.... LINK

“They should be the SEC!!!”

They’re closer to disbanding sports than being elite again in anything

Damn good deal for GT IMO. Get to keep the stadium name, and get 70 million over 20 years.

I think it sucks, but it is happening to everyone and Georgia is not immune.

You already have sold the rights to the coaches. You no longer have an offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator.

Mike Bobo - John and Alice Sands Offensive Coordinator
Glenn Schumann - Fain & Billy Slaughter Defensive Coordinator

Everything is for sale eventually.

I think they should do Paw Patrol concerts there so more people will see the name “Hyundai”.

7 times 10000 is only seventy thousand people seeing that ad.

Honestly not a bad deal for Georgia Tech. Other schools have done the same.

It will always be Grant Field to me.

Same with Scott Field (State) and Dudley Field (Vandy)

Surely there's a less dumb way to word this.
