Look at this as the evolution of all the “what time is the game?, what time can you be here?” Georgia Tech jokes you’ve heard (or told):
Georgia Tech’s spring game will have an unusual feature – a tailgate party taking place in one of the end zones as the game is going on. Plans for the spring game, to be played March 17, were announced by the athletic department Tuesday.
Space in the end zone will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to all fans, with part of the space designated exclusively for students. (The scrimmage will be played with the offense going towards the end zone without the tailgate party.) Food and beverages (including beer and wine) will be available for purchase in the end-zone area, which will have a St. Patrick’s Day theme.
Drinking on the field while the scrimmage is ongoing? Gee, what could go wrong there…
Reminds me of when the Illini played in Wrigley Field and they switched directions when the team with the ball crossed the 50 because one end zone was cut off by the wall. (Bill George used to ram people’s head into that wall when the Bears played there) https://www.espn.com/chicago/ncf/news/story?id=5824661

I heard about this on the radio driving this morning on 680. When I heard March 17th I thought, “I don’t have a calendar immediately handy but if today is the 2nd I don’t think that is a Saturday…surely they have the date wrong.”

Think we could get a couple hundred Dawg fans to camp out overnight and get those spots in the end zone? That would be hilarious to take over their stadium even when the entry is free.

Don’t know why they don’t just go ahead and use both end zones. Tech can’t score and they’re playing with their selves er against themselves.

Might as well put parties in both end zones, they aren’t going to get there anyway. 🤷🏼♂️

Too much credit for their defense.

I guess the analytics on Collins teams show that they probably won’t score anyway, so why use the end zone for football.?

They could also sell premium tailgate space in the weight room, as it is clearly unused.

The guy that scores get to chug a beer in the end zone. Another one of Collins’ genius incentives.

Reminds me of the joke about Tech instructing everyone to take shelter at Grant Field in case of a tornado, because there’s hardly ever a touchdown there.

And even so it will be as poorly attended by Tech students as their home games.

One end zone is reserved. Not much space if you ask me.
But considering their usual turnout, giving away beer is the next logical step in getting someone, anyone, to attend a game.

I’m tempted to go. Beer, St. Patty’s Day theme, and their hapless excuse of a football team ought to add up to a lot of laughs.
