I'm actually thrilled. Always wanted to go to one of these games, but was still in school back in '13 and didn't have the scratch to get out to London.
If it's in London (likely, as it is technically a designated home game), it'll be awesome. The Falcons have a big following over there, and were featured a while back on having one of the best dedicated pubs in the country for NFL teams.
NFL road trips are some of my favorite. You go to some awesome cities, the flights out of Atlanta (if booked in advance) are super reasonable, and hotels are never an issue. The stadiums are nice, and the fans (exception: New Orleans or Philly), are usually really cool folks. We try to do 2-3 a year.
College away trips were fun while it lasted, but I'm pretty over having to drive to 4-5 hours each way to rural southern states, pay 700 to stay at a marginal hotel, and sit on metal benches around borderline blackout humans that chugged whisky for 2 hours because the vendors in the stadium don't sell alcohol and they don't want to lose a buzz.

you could come over to the ACC where several teams play in NFL stadiums, several are in bug cities, and stadiums are half full which means tickets and hotels cost peanuts! lmao
all that to say, I would love for Tech to be in the SEC where I could easily drive 4 hours at most to get to nearly all of our opponents' stadiums lol. I've only been to FSU, Clemson, Auburn, UGA, and UNC because of the shite road schedulez every year.
