Just give Tech home field the next year and nobody will lose home field advantage. They should do it for just one year.

The four biggest D -1 BB programs playing at phillips with the winners and losers playing each other in the 2nd round. Think how much money it would raise for a good cause like childhood cancer Here’s an idea what about a basketball series with UGA Ga Tech Ga State and Ga southern which benefits charity.

This is not good for the schools. It's only good for that money hungry asshole gary stokan and the Chicken Fillet organization. He is trying to change everything in this city and state for his own advancement. If he wants to put Ga. and Tech in the so called Classic he should get top 15 schools from the other major conferences to come in and play GA 1 year and Tech the next. The order of which plays first is not important. The only reason he has had ACC vs SEC schools is because he is afraid that pitiful excuse for a place to play a football game wouldn't sell out if he didn't. That would take the glory away from him. That's all he's after so he can go on radio talk shows and receive the praise for another great haappening. I'm sorry the Tech-GA. game is already a great happening that he is trying to ruin. Mark

I think its a mistake playing the game first of the season, but I get the theory that if you lose early it doesn't knock you out of any championship runs. The only reason I would see playing it in the dome would be for Georgia Tech to use it for their home rotations if it allows them to make more money for selling more tickets. To me, that would make sense. I don't know what Georgia would have to gain by moving their home game to Atlanta on off years, especially considering they already play Florida in Jacksonville every year.
