📍 Atlanta, Georgia
🏈 Home of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Throughout the decades spent playing in the shadow of Midtown Atlanta, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have amassed the best home record in all of FBS, making their venerable home the most winningest stadium in the sport. Featuring the best urban view in college football, historic Bobby Dodd Stadium has been a stomping ground of Ramblin’ Wreck triumph for more than a century.

The origins of this revered gridiron can be traced back to the early 20th century, when Georgia Tech’s football program was rapidly gaining prominence. Although the sport had been played at the site since 1905, it wasn’t until a permanent seating area was constructed in 1913 that the stadium really began to take shape. Originally called Grant Field in honor of benefactor Hugh Inman Grant, the venue was renamed in 1988 for Bobby Dodd, a former coach who holds the title of the most wins in GT history.

Bobby Dodd Stadium – also known colloquially as “The Flats” – is located at the corner of North Avenue and Techwood Drive, just a block over from Atlanta’s traffic-laden Connector and, from the west and north stands, the landscape is dominated by the skylines of both Midtown and Downtown Atlanta. While the original facility held only 5,600 fans, the stadium has been expanded and renovated on many occasions, with the current capacity hovering at just under 52,000. Built in the 1960s, the modern steel decks on the east and west sidelines brought 14,000 new seats to the then-intimate venue, with the latter being constructed directly atop its concrete predecessor. The most recent seating bowl overhaul was completed in 2003 and saw reconstruction of the stadium’s overall shape, culminating in the addition of a new upper deck in the north end zone. The uneven expansion of the different areas of Bobby Dodd truly lend to its quirky, disjointed shape and creates many nooks and crannies throughout the concourse as fans transition from old to new and back again.

Elements of the stadium’s post-WWII era design are still prominent in the west stands, with decorative lattice and wrought-iron featured heavily at the concession stands and the team store situated in an odd open-to-below outcropping above the concourse. The atmosphere here is also reminiscent of a bygone era, with Tech’s most famous tradition being headlined by a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe that leads the squad onto the field during their bombastic introduction to an uproarious Bobby Dodd. The antique vehicle, nicknamed “Ramblin’ Reck” and adorned in black and gold, has fulfilled this duty since 1961.

The Yellow Jackets themselves have had a rich history of success over the years, claiming 4 national championships and 16 conference titles on their way to becoming a cornerstone program of the ACC. With the best home record in all of FBS, the Jackets often prompt the sounding of Bobby Dodd’s iconic train horn and the singing of their fight song “Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech“, as fireworks fly into the Atlanta night sky and fans are treated to one of the best gameday experiences in all of college football.
