Best bars near Bobby Dodd Stadium?

There are a plethora of bars in downtown Atlanta that are all less than a mile to the stadium. I like Varsity since it has some local feel and a lot of young college folks. Mary Mac's Tea room is also great to go to after the game. 

Artifacts to look for at Bobby Dodd Stadium?

What to expect from the Bobby Dodd Stadium crowd?

There are some pros and cons of the fan base at the Georgia Tech games. The fans are extremely welcoming, and at the same time, very passionate for their Yellow Jackets. On the other hand, seats seem to be available, and on my visit the stadium wasn't anywhere near full. The fans in attendance are passionate and will make a lot of noise and do everything they can to support their team. The student sections are large and involved, but not full. Empty seats are scattered throughout the stadium.

Safety at Bobby Dodd Stadium?

The safety at the game is good because there are thousands and thousands of people. There are cops because the occasional drunken fan does something dumb but overall the games are on Saturday afternoons and relatively safe. Be careful of the homeless population around downtown though.

Directions to Bobby Dodd Stadium?

Walking to the stadium is easy enough, just follow the crowds. You can enter on three sides and from any gate. The home side is open and free-moving, but if you're on the visitors side or need to walk around the scoreboard end, expect walking traffic to get a little tighter as you make your way around. You can also drive but expect some traffic since you will be entering a large city.

Best food and drink at Bobby Dodd Stadium?

For the best selection of specialty food, stick to the home side of the stadium. There you'll find several standard "Gridiron Grill" concessions, as well as delicious options like Sonny's Pit BBQ, The Nutty Bavarian and The Malt Shoppe. If your seats are on the visiting side, your options will be drastically reduced to Gridiron Grill or Domino's Pizza. Beer is not served at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Pricing at the Gridiron Grill locations is surprisingly reasonable for a venue like this, with most items falling under $7. Specialty items vary in price, and I'd recommend you bring some cash, because not all of the lines take cards. 

Traffic around Bobby Dodd Stadium?

Post-game traffic is not bad because a lot of people stick around to tailgate some more or hit up some of the local bars in downtown Atlanta.

Things to check out around Bobby Dodd Stadium?

The great skyline of downtown Atlanta. They really knew how to have an attractive skyline when building this stadium, unlike say the Washington Nationals.

Bobby Dodd Stadium Parking?

There are a number of lots on and around campus, and there will be attendants to direct street parking. Rates vary, but $20 for decent parking is probably what a visiting fan should expect. Most of the tailgating takes place on campus, but you'll be able to set up in most of the lots if you get there early enough.

Best restaurants near Bobby Dodd Stadium?

Just make sure you try Zaksby's chicken when you are in Georgia. This is an upper class Chick Fil-a and the Zalads are amazing. They have great sauce and I ended up eating there 5 times during my one stay in Atlanta. I need to go find one now.

Dealing with scalpers at Bobby Dodd Stadium?

Scalping is not generally accepted here, the secondary market for tickets is easy and you can usually get tickets through Georgia Tech or a reseller site. There are some scalpers and if you do get them from a scalper, try to get one from a person who has kids that is trying to sell an extra ticket.

Bobby Dodd Stadium seating?

I think sitting on the 20 yard line at either end is primetime sitting because you are close to the student band and can still see all the action. There really aren't bad seats in the house, and the upper deck is still relatively close to the field but if I had to pick one it would be here.

Best giveaways at Bobby Dodd Stadium?

You can usually score a t-shirt, hat, poster, calendar, or little football for home games during the course of the season.
